 "Dr. Newman's discussions of bacteria and disease, of immunity, of antitoxins, and 

 of methods of disinfection, are illuminating, and are to be commended to all seeking in- 

 formation on these points. Any discussion of bacteria will seem technical to the uniniti- 

 ated, but all such will find in this book popular treatment and scientific accuracy happily 

 combined."— The Dial.
