Medical Research Council A System of Bacteriology in relation to Medicine

Abstract

THE literature on immunity has almost got beyond the limit of the capacity of any one worker, and this volume on the “System of Bacteriology” will be welcomed not only by laboratory workers, but also by all interested in this difficult but fascinating subject. The volume stands out as one of the best in the “System”, and each chapter is written by a worker who has an intimate experimental knowledge of his subject. There is an adequate summary of most of the important papers which have been published, and the writers have given their own views, based largely on their own experimental work, but have, at the same time, dealt very fairly with the writings of other experimenters in the same field.
