RT Journal T1 TRansactions of the iowa state medical society. vol. vii, 1886-1889. JF Journal of the American Medical Association JO Journal of the American Medical Association YR 1889 FD November 23 VO XIII IS 21 SP 756 OP 756 DO 10.1001/jama.1889.02401170034016 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1889.02401170034016 AB This volume of Transactions covers the work done by the Society in four years. It comprises sixty-one papers, nearly all of which may be said to be rather meagre, as may be judged by the fact that they find plenty of room in a book of only 564 pages. The work accomplished is very good as far as it goes, but the Society evidently needs tonic treatment to prevent premature decay. From such a magnificent State as Iowa it is not too much to expect the very best of work.
