AB This manual of urology is the fourth edition since 1933. The general outline has not been altered from the previous editions. This one contains 311 pages divided into eleven chapters. The first three chapters deal with methods of examination in urology, symptomatology and treatment. Then follow eight chapters devoted to disease of the genitourinary system. The principal changes and alterations that have been made in this edition are in the treatment of infections of the genitourinary system with the sulfonamide compounds, penicillin and streptomycin. The management of urinary calculi has been brought up to date. The work on testicular tumor has been rewritten.This is primarily a book for medical students and because of its conciseness will continue to be popular.
