The Control of Hunger in Health and Disease

The Control of hunger in health and disease. By Anton Julius Carlson. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1916. Pp. viii+319. Illus. This volume presents "a summary of the work on the stomach, with special reference to hunger and appetite, carried out in the Hull Physiological Laboratory of the University of Chicago during the last four years," in the light of biological and clinical literature. "The elimination of many biological correctives by the artificialities of modern civilization calls for rational guidance of all phases of human behavior, including the desire for food," observes Mr. Carlson.
