It contains a carefully selected summary of the literature of the preceding year on the diseases of the respiratory and circulatory organs, diseases of the ductless glands, metabolic diseases, and diseases of the kidneys. This volume, in common with the rest of the series, is written primarily for the benefit of the general practitioner and the arrangement and the selection of the subjects adapt it to this purpose. The sections devoted to tuberculosis and diseases of the heart, respectively, deserve especial notice. The book is well illustrated and contains complete indexes, both of subjects and of authors. The volume should prove of more than ordinary interest and value to those physicians who are careful to keep in touch SN - 0002-9955 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1909.02550110064027 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1909.02550110064027 ER -
