N2  - This book can be strongly recommended to physicians, surgeons and students on two counts: (1) its intrinsic merit and (2) the fact that it represents a method by which valuable books in small editions may yet be inexpensive—it is printed by photolithograph from typescript. Exact knowledge of the lymphatic vessels and of the nodes to which they lead is essential for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer and of infectious diseases. While our textbooks of anatomy have presented the facts with increasing thoroughness during recent years, Rouvière's book, devoted exclusively to the anatomy of the lymphatic system, is of great additional value because of its greater detail and its more extended report of recent work by Aagaard, Bartels, Bourgery, Gabrielle, Most, Rouvière and others. This is a translation of Rouvière's book but it is also a rearrangement of the entire text. The facts of direct application appear in the text.
