In the new edition of this book, which has previously been favorably commented on in these Archives (18:686 [Oct.] 1937), the subject matter has been brought up to date. Certain chapters have been rewritten, and new sections have been added. The new subjects are foreign protein therapy ; orthoptic training ; treatment of syphilis of the eye, ear and throat ; use of tuberculin in diagnosis and treatment ; sulfanilamide and its derivatives, and allergy, vitamins and clinical pathology in ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology. These additions are well written but are too condensed to serve as an adequate introduction, and it may be questioned whether they strictly belong to the problems of nursing.
