The endocrine glands
Group II. (Large and $%~l~ iVoc&lc) .-Fractional x-ray therapy prcliminary to operation (Ahlbom) , depending upon response t,o irradiation, operative excision should be performed in most instances. The cosmetic deformity of the tumor should be compared with the chance of facial nerve paralysis. Group III. (Large and Pized).-External irradiation in a course of fractional doses is the only logical treatment. Implants of emanation should be avoided. Surgery is usually contraindicated (facial nerve injury, 33 per cent; recurrence 60 per cent). Tumors which were inoperable by ordinary methods, Hybbinette removed successfully by intracapsular curettage followed by blunt dissection removal of the capsule. Recurrence rate was 4 per cent, and no facial nerve injuries followed, H. A. Salmnnn~, M.D.

Goldzieher started his investigations of the endocrines over thirty years ago. In the present volume, he attempts to correlate the accumulated knowledge on endocrinology along practical lines and to provide a. work of reference. The chapters on disturbances of growth will be found especially interesting to orthodontists as will every phase of endocrinopathy. Our present state of knowledge of dental conditions in relation to the endocrines is still in an unsettled state. Orthodontists are torn between the conservatism of laboratory workers such as &hour who warns them against the acceptance of categoric statements concerning endocrinologic correlations in malocclusion a.nd such The present clinical endocrinologists as Engelbach, Wolfe, and Goldzieher. author is careful to include all dental symptoms in the various diseases. The book has an excellent bibliography, is well illustrated, and has a good index. Pediatric Surgery : By Edward C.
