Annual report on jorogress with pathogenic micro-organisms, including 

 bacteria, fungi, and i^rotozoa, I', vox I'.ai .mcjauten and F. Tangl X-JtihnslK r. 

 Patlt. Mikroorgaii.. JD (l',)i)S) , pp. XIl-\-1220). — An elaborate review is presented 

 of the literature on pathogenic micro-organisms which appeared in 1003. The 

 editors were assiste<l by a large corps of specialists who divided up the work 

 according to their particular qualifications. The review of literature includes 

 text-books and original articles or treatises cm all forms of pathogenic cocci, 

 bacilli, and other forms of bacteria and fungi, including actinomyces, protozoa 

 of all groups which furnish pathogenic foi-ms, as well as works on general 

 microbiology, disinfection, and biological technique. Bibliographies are fur- 

 nished in connection with each section, and the volume is also supplied with 

 complete author and subject indexes. 



Collected studies on immunity, I'. Ehrlicii, trans, by C. Bolduan {Sew 

 York: John Wilcu ct ,S'o>(.s,- London: Chapman if Hall. Ltd.. 1906, pp. J7 -1-586', 

 pi. 1). — Since the publication of the German edition of this collection, two addi- 

 tional chapters have been prepared by Ehrlich and Sachs, which are also in- 

 cluded in the i)resent English edition, and a general review of recent work in 

 immunity was prepai-ed by Ehrlich expressly for the translation. The subject 

 of immunity in so far as the writings of Ehrlich and his disciples are concerned 

 is therefore brought down to date. The original German edition has already 

 been noted (E. S. li., l(^ p. 00). 



The local treatment of parasitic and infectious diseases with, remedies 

 introduced in connection with an electric current, I). Bernaedini {din. \Ct. 

 [Milan \. 2i) {l!l(i6), Xo. 20, pp. .'/DO- 'if).',). — From time to time experiments have 

 been made to determine the influence of an electric curi'ent in hastening, and 

 intensifying the penetration of drugs applied locally. The author secured some 

 rather positive results from the use of this method. Rabbits were inoculated 

 with anthrax cultures in the tissue of the ear and after 3 hours a solution of 

 corrosive sublimate was applied to the ])oint of inoculation under the influence 

 of an electric anode for a period of 10 nnnutes. Another rabbit was treated in 

 the same manner except that the application of an electric current was omitted. 

 After 56 hours it appeared that the rabbit which was not treated with electricity 

 exhibited all of the bacteriological and pathological symptoms of anthrax while 

 the other animal remained entirely normal.

 account of the construction of abattoirs in France and other countries, particular 

 attention being given to those in France with historical notes on the develop- 

 ment of abattoirs in that country. The author discusses in a detailed manner 

 the various points of construction, arrangement of rooms, and apparatus and 

 other matters related to the architecture, sanitary regulation, ventilation, and 

 use of abattoirs. Particular attention is given to cold stoi-age plants and their 

 proper regulation in connection with abattoirs as well as to various other 

 secondary industries dependent upon abattoirs.
