C. Stephan's pharmacognostic tables, E. Starke (G. Stephanas Pharma- 

 kognostische Tabelle. Dresden, 1913, 4. enl. ed., pp. XXIV -\-199).— This edition 

 deals with 493 substances used as drugs. In each table the name of the drug, 

 its habitat, the part of the plant or animal used, and its usual adulterant (or

 therapy. 



The problem of protein anaphylaxis with, especial reference to the prac- 

 tical antigen diagnosis pro foro, H. Pfeiffeb (Das Problem der Eiweissana- 

 phylaxie mit hesonderer Beriicksichtigung der praMischen Antigendiagnose pro 

 foro. Festschrift der k. k. Karl-Franzen^-TJnvversitdt in Graz fur das Schuljahr 

 1909-10, pp. 231, figs. 7). — The contents of this book deal with the history of 

 anaphylaxis, sensitization, aud preanaphylactic phenomena, reinjectiou, active, 

 anti-, and passive anaphylaxis and the methods of measuring the anaphylactic 

 immune body, the signiticance of anaphylaxis for the practical differentiation of 

 proteins, test tube experiments, experimental examples, and the more important 

 literature pertaining to anaphylaxis. 



The antigenic properties of globin caseinate, F. P. Gay and T. B. Robertson 

 (Jour. Expt. Med., 17 (1913), No. 5, pp. 535-541) .—'' This study of globin and 

 its compound wuth casein (globin caseinate) shows that globin fails to produce 

 fixation antibodies in rabbits after reiieated injections, thus agreeing with our 

 own work and with that of others with similar histone bodies which are pri- 

 marily toxic. When globin is combined with casein, however, it gives rise to 

 antibodies that react not only with globin caseinate and casein but also with 

 globin. The antibodies in antiglobin casein serum are apparently separate, one 

 for globin and one for casein. In other words, the change in globin undergone 

 on combination with casein has apparently rendered it antigenic. 



" We did not succeed in demonstrating the genesis of this new antigenic prop- 

 erty by anaiihylaxis experiments.
