services of a large staff have been called upon to encompass all of this varied material and the task has been accomplished most satisfactorily in this valuable addition to the American medical literature. The book is well printed, beautifully illustrated by a series of colored plates, and in its 1204 pages constitutes an exhaustive presentation covering all brancheR of medicine and the allied sciences. It should be in the library of every physician. GEoRGE W. KosMAK. The second edition of the valuable Atlas of Surgica.J. Operations2o by Cutler and Zollinger appears after an interval of ten years during which many significant advances have been made in this field of medical practice. New and better methods of anesthesia have been developed, as well as of pre- and postoperative care, the treatment of shock, and the control of sepsis. But all of these do not constitute a substitute for meticulous surgical technique, to the attainment of which this manual is largely directed. The revised edition includes an additional thirty new procedures and almost half the illustrations have been revised and redrawn. Although directed to interns and residents in hospitals, the masterly presentation of tho subject matter should constitute a valuable reference manual for all general surgeons as well as gynecologists, for the closing chapter is devoted to pelvic surgery. The book should have a wide reception and constitutes a classic contribution to American medical literature. The work also constitutes a memorial to the senior author who died unfortunately before its completion and had always maintained an active interest in the development of the young surgeon. GEORGE W.
