proper use are gradually beginning to trickle through. It would be invidious to select for praise or criticism any particular chapter in a book of high attainment which must be judged as a whole. The writers are to be commended on the high standard attained in the presentation of their subjects. The editors are to be congratulated in achieving so much uniformity from a varied field, and the publishers for their enterprise and excellent production. To post-graduate surgeons, and those engaged on war work, at home and in the forces, this book will provide interesting and stimulating reading, and form a sound nucleus to guide their surgical endeavours.
