AB The first edition of this work was one of the earlier treatises on consumption, designed for popular use, and laid down rules and principles of management which are now generally recognized as sound. Advances in methods of application and especially the results of sanatorium management made revision desirable, and in this edition Dr. Davis has rewritten portions of chapters and added one on the advantages of institutional treatment. More careful revision and more accurate proofreading would have prevented some minor errors, but, as a whole, the work deserves commendation as an interesting and safe guide for both professional and lay readers.
