Details of technique are not supplied, but enough data are given to help understand the results of laboratory examinations. Bone marrow is emphasized in connection with each disease, including photographs of tissue sections. A useful feature is a series of tables summarizing the data to be studied in investigating different diseases, or in tabulating other material of importance in connection with each syndrome ( e. g., plasma clotting factors, laboratory tests in disorders SN - 0002-9955 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1959.03000290123041 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1959.03000290123041 ER -
