    oratory Technique for Students and Physicians. By Aldred Scott Within.- Ph.D., M.D., Professor of uhology and Director of the Pathological Laboratories in the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Second Edi- tion, Rewritten arid 'LrilaYfeTT.* Ann Arbor: George Wahr, Publisher, 1911. The second edition of this useful book appears practically as a new work, for it has been largely rewritten and more than doubled in size. As is customary, the text is divided into two parts, of which the first is concerned with the methods of performing post-mortem examinations and with the study of the gross material, while the second is devoted to the technique of the preservation of tissues and the pro- cedures necessary for their microscopic examination. The book is characterized throughout by a strongly individual note which adds greatly to its interest and value, for it incorporates the results of the author's very extensive experience as a practical pathologist and as a teacher, and consequently abounds in original suggestions and methods. Like most workers in this field the author is abandoning celloidm imbedding more and more in favor of the paraffin method, which has now been improved to such an extent that it almost equals the other in simplicity and expedition, while it is its superior in nearly all other respects. A wise discrimination has been shown in the chapters on preserva- tion, staining, etc., which include a sufficient variety of formula? for all practical purposes and adequate discus- sions of their respective advantages, while all useless lum- ber has been omitted. The work may be commended as a thoroughly modern and satisfactory guide for the autopsv room and laboratory,. Practical Pathology. a]<i\Mja\/of 7?i?FoWt and Labora- tory Technic For Students and Physicians. By Alfred Scott Warthin Ph.D.. M.D., Professor of Pathology and Director of (.lit; FaTU'oTtDfic Laboratories in the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor,._ Second Edition. Cloth. Price. $&.—Pp. X'll, with 55 illus- trations. Ann Arbor : George Wahr, 1911. This is a valuable book for the student of pathology as seen in the necropsy room. The author has sufficient expe- rience as a teacher to prepare a work of this kind, and, while a considerable portion of the book is devoted to the methods of examination of tissues in the necropsy room, the actual teaching value of the work is great. The book is purely pedagogic in character and is not a reflection of personal opinions.
