FIALA PATENTED SLEEPING BAG "Without a doubt you have the bEsSt light weight bag on the market. People won't appreciate this until they compare the warmth of the FIALA SLEEPING BAG as compared to its weight with other bags. " Clattde P. Fordyce, M.D.
"I SLEPT ALONE-SNUG AND WARM" "My two companions, with two vvool blankets, suffered, though huddled together. This Fiala Sleeping Bag is the only onie I ever liked. ' Horace Kephart.
FIALA PATENTED sleeping bags An important fact about the Fiala Sleeping Bag is that the entire combination can be
separated and sunned every day. Sleeping bags and quilts made with a filler cannot be dried during a trip and because of that they usually fill up with moisture and body exhalations which cause them to be both cold and offensive.
Hiker's Model Fiala Pat. Sleeping Bag made in two sizes, No. 1-80 inches long, No. 2-72 inches long. This bag when rolled measures only about 10 x 18 inches and weighs from 4- lbs. to 6 lbs. No zotton or shoddy wool is used in its construction but only pure, long fibre wool.eh . eh $10.00

By CARROLL WILLIAM DODGE, Ph.D. Professor of Botany, Washington University; Mycologist, Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis
900 pages-6:Y4 x 10-142 illustrations-Beautiful vermin- and water-proof cloth, with gold stamping. Price, about $10.00
r HIS is the only complete book in English on the fungus diseases (mycoses) of man and other mammals, giving morphological and cultural characters of all fungi
which have been reported pathogenic, accompanied by the most complete bibliography (over 5,000 titles) so far assembled. The morphology of related groups of saprophytes is discussed, enabling the medical investigator to comprehend the phenomena observed in the life cycle of the organism under consideration. Keys to genera and species are pro- vided to enable the observer to identify his organism or at least to compare it with previ- ously described organisms from the same group. Brief notes and references on the original and subsequent case histories are given, also notes on pathogenicity to experimental animals.
The treatment of ringworm, athlete's foot and related diseases is the most compre- hensive summary of all phases of the subject which has yet appeared in English, not only regarding the organisms but also the pathology and therapeusis.
The correlation of knowledge of the life cycles of mammalian fungus pathogens has clarified ideas of phylogeny and classification, especially yeasts and Plectascales. Many aberrant groups no longer seem aberrant when the transitional groups among the human pathogens are considered. The difficult group of imperfect yeasts has been classified as far as possible upon the basis of their morphology and correlation of their biochemical characters and pathogenic properties, such as the organs attacked, invasiveness, etc., has yielded a new viewpoint for further work upon this interesting group. The nomencla- ture of all the pathogenic groups has been revised in the spirit of the international Rules of Nomenclature.

THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
A Textbook for Students, Nurses and Social Workers By JOHN B. HAWES, 2D, M.D. AND MOSES J. STONE, M.D.
President of the Boston Tuberculosis Association; Assistant Professor, Diseases of the Chest, Director of the Massachusetts Tuberculosis League; Boston University, School of Medicine;
12mo, 215 pages, illustrated with 43 engravings. Cloth, $2.75, net This new work meets a real need for a concise text on pulmonary tuberculosis that reflects the modern
attitude toward its diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The differential diagnoses between tuberculosis and the diseases most often mistaken for it are especially clear and accurate, including an illuminating discussion of undernourishment in children. The treatment of symptoms is emphasized and such new points as the sedimentation test, Calmette 's attenuated vaecine, and the indications for the different methods of lung compression, are given judicious and discriminating consideration. The compact sum- mary at the end of each chapter emphasizes the essentials.

DISEASES AND PARASITES OF POULTRY By EDGAR HUGH BARGER, D.V.M. AND LESLIE E. CARD, PH.D.
Pathologist in the Illinois State Department of Professor of Poultry Ilusbandry at the University Agriculture, Urbana, Illinois of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois
12mo, 354 pages, illustrated with 73 engravings and a colored plate. Cloth, $3.75, net The work is written for students of agriculture and veterinary medicine who need a ready source of
information on the subject of avian pathology. It is scientifically accurate without being too technical and will be equally useful to flock owners and practising veterinarians. It presents the principles of poultry hygiene, emphasizing the prevention and control of specific diseases and parasites. A Foreword by Dr. L. Van Es of the University of Nebraska vouches for its soundness.

THE MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY OF VERTEBRATES- By GEORGE G. SCOTT, PH.D. AND JAMES I. KENDALL, PH.D.
Professor of Biology in the City College, Instructor in Biology in the City College, New York City New York City Octavo, 306 pages, illutstrated with 167 engravings. Cloth, $3.75, net
This is a college text-book in comparative vertebrate histology, sufficiently condensed to be covered in a single semester period. To this end it has been kept primarily on a descriptive basis to accompany laboratory work. An lobjective is the mastery of technique and an important chapter on this topic is in- cluded. Unlike most texts in anatomy and embryology, the emphasis is lnot placed on hulmian material alone. The material here employed is taken from a variety of vertebrates so that the book may truly serve as a suirvey of comparative ieroseopie anatomy and histology.

EXPERIMENTAL PHYSIOLOGY BY MAURICE B. VISSCHER, PH.D., M.D. AND PAUL W. SMITH, PH.D.
Professor of Physiology and Head of the Department Associate in Physiology in the University of Illinois, in the University of Illinois, College of Medicine College of AMedicine, Chicago, Illinois
Octavo, 191 pages, illustrated with 75 engravings. Cloth, $3.25, net This work is designed to help the student to understand the significance of his observatiolns, to famil-
iarize him with the different types of experimental methods, and to aid him in acquiring some degree of critical judgment concerning the value of scientific evidence. To this end it offers a collection of experi- ments suitable for laboratory use. Numerous illustrations with anatomical and mechanical features clarify the text and increase its value. The introductory material includes general directions for the preparation of animals for experimentation, and important data on the use and care of apparatus.
