VETERINARY MEDICINE. 



Veterinary therapeutics, E. W. Ho.\be {Chicago: Alexander Eger, 1916, 3. 

 ed., pp. X X IV +94S).— The first of the three parts of this work (pp. 1-199) 

 consists of a discussion of the diagnosis and general symptoms of disea.se ; the 

 care, management, and nursing of sick animals; the actions and uses of drugs; 

 prescribing and administration of me<lieines ; and veterinary pharmacy. The 

 second part (pp. 200-rMG) is devoted to materia modica; and the third part 

 (pp. :").'")9-912) to .special therapeutics. Numerous formulas are given in an ap- 

 pendix (pp. 864-906), 



Biology, general and medical, J. JIcFakl.\nd {Philadelphia and London: 

 W. B. Saunders Co., 1916, S. ed., rev., pp. 457, pis. S. figs. 151).— The third e<ll- 

 tion of the work previously noted (E. S. R., 24, p. 584). The subject matter has 

 boon c(irreete«l and some additions made to bring the material to date. 



Microbiology, C. E. Marshall et al. {PhUadrlphin: P. Blakiston's Son d 

 Co., 1917, 2. ed., rev. and enl., pp. XXIV+900, pi. 1. figs. iS5).— This is the sec- 

 ond edition of the work previously noted (E. S. R., 26. p. 372). The chapters 

 originnlly l\v .T. L. Todd have been revised by E. E. Tyzzor. A chapter on in- 

 testinal microbiology by W. .T. MacNeal and one on microbial di.sease.-* of insects 

 by Zae Noi^lirup have been added. 



Applied immunology, B. A. Thomas and R. II. Ivy (Philadelphia and Lon- 

 don: ./. li. Lippinrott Co., 1916, 2. ed., ret'., pp. XVII+36.i, pis. 26. figs. 45).— 

 This is the second edition of the work previou.sly note«l (E. S. R., 34, p. 275). A 

 number of additions and some now material liave been Incorporateil. 



The cause of anaphylaxis and the nature of the antibodies, J. Danvsz 

 {Compt. Rfud. Acad Sci. [Paris], 16H {1916), Xn. 26. pp. .985-.<)8<»).— Experi- 

 ments are rep(>rte<l which show that the antigens do not appear to be directly 

 assimilable, but liy their introduction produ<'e substances which later transform 

 them to assiniilMl)le products. This change consists of the formation of a pre- 

 cipit.ite which in nonfatal ca.<5es is again dis.solved. It is indicate*! that the 

 formation of the embolus in the blood ves-ssel produces the symptoms of ana- 

 phylaxis and brings about the shock. The substance forme<l on the introduc- 

 tion of the antigen appears to be of the nature of a precipitin. 



Analysis of the anaphylactic and immune reactions by means of the iso- 

 lated guinea pig lungs, \V. H. Manwaring and Y. Kisam \ {Jour. Iiniuunnl., 

 2 {1917), Xo. 2, pp. 157-165, fig. i).— Experimental data submitted show that 

 three es.sential factors are involved in anaphylactic and immune reactions 

 studied by the perfusion method, viz. celluhir hypersensitiveness. or the anaphy- 

 lactic response of the hypersensitive fixed pulmonary tissues; humoral ana- 

 phylaxis, or the chemical response (anaphylatoxin formation) of the anaphy- 

 lactic blood ; and humoral immunity, or the inhibiting or protecting action of 

 the immune blood. 



The Immune guinea pig. from the data obtained, shows a seemingly para- 

 doxical phenomenon, the coexistence of a flxeil cellular hyper.sensitiveness and 

 a humoral immunity. 



The disappearance of agglutinin from the blood of anaphylactic and 

 normal animals, Hilda Hempl {.lour. Immunol., 2 {1917), Xn. 2, pp. Hl- 

 145). — Guinea pigs weighing between 400 and 450 gm. were sensitized with
