THE STORY OF MEDICINE VICTOR ROBINSON

THE TUDOR REPRINT

FROM A REVIEW IN

American Journal of the Medical Sciences The author's wide knowledge, his flair for the

curious yet characteristic, and his ability to paint a vivid picture have combined to produce a work thlat welds a wealth of historical lore to an enter taining narrative such as may not be found in any work in this field. The author's free use of quota- tions promotes a desirable first-hand acquaintance with his heroes, while his frequent inclusion of border topics, such as astrology, scholasticism, uni- versity education, botany, Renaissance art, elec- tricity, evolution and so on, tends to a breadth of treatment that adds both to the charm and value

of this highly praiseworthy production. Reprinted from the original plates of the $5.00 edition.

iv THE SCIENTIFIC MONTHLY-ADVERTISEMENTS

For forty-three years the Supply Department of the Marine Biological Laboratory has been furnishing marine and land forms to teachers and investigators in the biological sciences.

EW teachers realize the expense which is involved in collecting and preparing marine animals. Many, we are sure, think that all one has to do is walk along the beach, pick up the ainimals and throw

them into formaldehyde. Nothing is further from the truth. The whole collecting region must be carefully explored to find sources for the various forms and it is at times necessary to take long trips to secure them. To do this exploring and collecting, it is necessary to use boats costing several thousand dollars. These must be provided with pumps so that the speci- mens may be kept in running sea-water while on shipboard. When they are brought to the laboratory, it is necessary to put many of the forms through long and complicated processes to properly narcotize, expand, and preserve them. The pumps and tanks necessary to supply the laboratory with running sea-water are very expensive and far beyond the means of the individual who is trying to collect without equipment.

The Supply Department of the Marine Biological Laboratory is, with- out doubt, the best equipped marine collecting station in the United States, if not in the world. Its collecting equipment, consisting of boats, fish traps, seines, dredges, tangles and laboratory facilities, is of the very best and represents a large investment. Its staff of collectors and preparators has had many years of experience. These are the factors which enter into the collection and preparation of marine specimens and they explain in a large measure the uniformly good quality of the preserved material furnished by the Supply Department.

New Lea & Fehier Publications NEW WORK JUST READY

PHYSIOLOGY IN HEALTH AND DISEASE

By CARL J. WIGGERS, M.D. Professor of Physiology in the School of Medicine of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio

Octavo, 1183 pages, illustrated with 182 engravings. Cloth, $9.00, net This book has been written for medical students, clinicians and progressive practitioners of medicine. Its objective is a

complete understanding of the functional disturbances of patients leading to diagnosis in the physiological manner without sacrificing the biophysical, biochemical and mathematical aspects of physiology. To this end the author stresses the appli- cation of pure science and physiology, inculcates the general principles of physiology, outlines and surveys the functions of the various tissues, organs and systems, and correlates physiological alterations produced experimentally with aberrant manifestations illustrated on patients. Hitherto no single text-book has covered this essential subject matter.

This book will be as useful in subsequent professional years as during student days. The work includes a wealth of in- formation of the greatest importance in medical physiology so organized as to make the essential facts easily accessible. The text is illustrated by numerous charts, graphs and figures, mostly new and designed to be pictorial summaries. Such crystalli- zation of knowledge will be found far more valuable and satisfying than mere memorization. The chapters are so organized that their sequence can be adapted to any plan of instruction. An uniusually extensive bibliography has been incorporated.

NEW (2nd) EDITION JUST READY

A TEXT-BOOK OF PATHOLOGY An Introduction to Medicine

By WILLIAM BOYD, M.D., M.R.C.P., ED., F.R.C.P., LOND., DIPL. PSYCH., F.R.S.C. Professor of Pathology in the University of Manitoba; Pathologist to the Winnipeg General Hospital, Winnipeg, Canada

Octavo, 1047 pages, illustrated with 416 engravings and 8 colored plates. Cloth, $10.00, net In the two years since the appearance of the first edition of this work so many advances have been made that a thorough

revision has been necessary. The extrinsic causes of disease are considered, and a chapter dealing with the part which heredity, the constitution of the patient, and sex play in determining the incidence and progress of pathologic processes is included. A more logical sequence is introduced, disorders of growth are no longer divorced from tumors, the section on immunity and allergy has been entirely rewritten, and a new chapter dealing with a few of the principal diseases of the teeth has been introduced. The author's unusually attractive style clarifies the subject and makes his book a real contribution. The demand for this edition necessitated a reprinting within a few weeks of its publication.

NEW (2nd) EDITION JUST READY

LABORATORY MEDICINE A Gttide for Students and Practitioners

By DANIEL NICHOLSON, M.D. Member of the Royal College of Physicians, London; Assistant Professor of Pathology, University of Manitoba;

Assistant in Pathology, Winnipeg General Hospital, Winnipeg, Canada Octavo, 566 pages, illustrated with 124 engravings and 3 colored plates. Cloth, $6.50, net

The first edition of this useful work was exhausted within a verv short time. Nevertheless, the many advances in this field have necessitated this thoroughly revised second edition, providing fully detailed information on the indications, methods and interpretations of the most suitable diagnostic tests. The more highly technical procedures usually performed for the doctor by the laboratory are outlined, and the principles and the interpretations given. The book includes the indications for each test, a description of the technic and the interpretation showing the justifiable conclusions. Many tests most useful in diagnosis which may be perfor med with limited facilities are included. Special short chapters have been devoted to blood examinations, urinalyses, sputum examinations and similar topics. There is an abundance of supplementary material dealing with laboratory maintenance and operation.
