Abstract

THE series of books published by Messrs. J. and A. Churchill dealing with recent advances in the medical sciences has served a useful purpose and been deservedly popular, but they vary much in form. Some of them contain full reviews on selected topics, giving a readable and connected account of certain aspects of the science with which they deal; others tend rather to consist of abstracts of all the papers published on the subject in the last ten years, and give the impression of having been printed directly from a card index. The latter method of writing provides more information per page but less pleasure for the reader.

Recent Advances in Chemotherapy

By Dr. G. M. Findlay. Second edition. Pp. x + 523. (London: J. and A. Churchill, Ltd., 1939.) 21s.
