Abstract
A TEXT-BOOK of mycology suited to the needs of the dental profession has long been a desideratum, and Mr. Goadby has succeeded in the task of writing one. The first half of the book is devoted to general principles and methods, the remainder to the special bacteriology and mycology of the mouth and its diseases, such subjects as dental caries and pyorrhoea alveolaris being treated at length. We have noted but few mistakes, e.g. Wedl for Widal (p. 41), Buchner's tubefor Buchner method. In hanging drop preparations, the usual and convenient hollow ground slides are not mentioned, the antitoxin unit is not quite accurately defined, and the dose of diphtheria antitoxin recommended is too small. The book is well and profusely illustrated.
