AB During the past few years, much progress has been made in the bacteriology and treatment of epidemic meningitis. The excellent book now under consideration is based largely on the observations of the authors while in charge of the disease among the troops of an English military district. The recent literature is drawn on also, although one misses references to some recent American work, notably Herrick's study of general meningococcus infection. There are twenty chapters in all, and the various phases of epidemic meningitis are dealt with thoroughly and satisfactorily. The book is the best we have on its subject, and will be of great value to all who may have to deal with epidemic meningitis, whether from the clinical, bacteriologic and serologic, or epidemiologic point of view.
