PRESS NOTICES. ‘* An uncompromising attack upon our choice of food, especially that for children, . . . The author’s views are well worthy of careful con- sideration.” —Edinburgh Medical Journal. ‘“ We agree that there should be a return to a more natural plan in the feeding of children.” —British Medical Journal. ‘There has been a dearth of new publications during the year, and of those issued perhaps the most suggestive and valuable has been Dr. J. Sim Wallace’s book on ‘Modern Dietetics in the Causation of Disease.’ ”’ —Lancet (Annus Medicus). ‘‘, . . Most suggestive and eminently practical. ... The author, as a dentist capable of viewing his specialty from the broad standpoint of the scientific physician, throws much light on dental disorders and general derangements arising from errors in mastication, bad selection ot food, and improper and imperfect preparation of nutrients. Each essay merits careful perusal. . . . The book should be read by every physician, dentist, and intelligent parent.” —Medical Press. ‘“There is a vigorous philosophical tone throughout these papers, and they are undoubtedly suggestive, and will well repay perusal... . The book concludes with some speculations and suggestions on dietetics. These are exceedingly interesting.” —Manchester Medical Chronicle. ‘The whole trend of the book is in the same direction that has hitherto characterised his work—i.e., an appeal for a rational mode of living as opposed to the artificial devices of modern civilisation. .. . We welcome Dr. Wallace’s efforts in the field of disease, and trust they will be crowned with success. His book contains much food for reflection for all thinking men, and will we hope, be widely read.’’—Ash’s Quarterly Circular. ‘* The book is one that can be thoroughly recommended to all medical men and dentists as directing their attention to many existing evils which it lies largely in their power to correct.’’—Dental Surgeon. ‘““A small but extremely interesting volume, which ought to be read and thought over by every dental surgeon and medical practitioner. . . . Concludes with some very sensible suggestions as to the progressive feeding of children in accordance with the number of teeth in functional use.’ —British Dental Journal.
