OBITUARIES
clinical and ophthalmoscopic picture of retinal periphlebitis in septic endophthalmitis. The surgical treatment of complicated after-cataract by the de Wecker procedure was discussed by Webb W. Weeks. The papers indicate the continued interest in surgical and therapeutic problems and the widening field of physiological research in ophthalmology. William M. James.
TRACHOMA. By A. F. MAcCALLAN, M.D., F.R.CS. President of the International Organization Against Trachoma. Formerly Director of the Egyptian Government Ophthalmic Hospitals. 238 pages. 19 illustrations and charts. London, Butterworth and Company, 1936. Price £1. 1. O. net This book embodies the Hunterian Lecture on "The surgery and pathology of trachomatous conjunctivitis," given at the Royal College of Surgeons in England in 1936. It also takes the place of its author's former book, "Trachoma and its complications in Egypt." It must be regarded as the most complete and authoritative treatise on trachoma that has yet been published. Of the illustrations, eleven are color plates, showing different stages and conditions of trachoma. Others show microscopic appearances, and the appended chart illustrates the correspondence between temperature and the number of new patients treated in the Egyptian Ophthalmic Hospitals, for the different months of the year. There are good indexes of the subjects and authors mentioned. The chapter headings give a good idea of the arrangement of the material: 1. Introduction to the study of trachoma. 2. Clinical manifestations. 3. Sequels. 4. Complications. 5. Differential diagnosis. 6. Treatment. 7. Pathological anatomy. 8. Epidemiology. 9. Historical. All ophthalmologists have to do with
trachoma and its effects. To those whose practice includes a large number of cases, a study of this book will be both interesting and of great practical value. For those who see comparatively few cases, it is the best possible book of reference. Edward Jackson.
