The Common Bacterial Infections of the 

 Digestive Tract 



And the Intoxications arising from Them 



Cloth, 8vo, 360 pages, $1.50 net; by mail, $1.63 



"The methods of investigating the digestive tract outlined in this volume 

 will prove valuable to the practitioner who would determine the presence of 

 abnormal bacterial processes before the onset of the clinical signs of incurable 

 or highly refractory states of intoxication and this is the all-sufficient raison 

 d'etre for the book. Considerable stress has been laid by the author on 

 methods developed in his laboratory, in the belief that their painstaking appli- 

 cation will furnish practitioners with reliable indications as to the progress of 

 many cases of infection of the digestive tract." Merck's Archives. 



" A very scholarly volume, primarily intended for physicians and students, 

 yet, because of its grave importance and because the subject it treats of is of 

 vital interest to all intelligent readers, we are quite certain the book will be 

 appreciated and read in a far wider circle than its title, which is rather ' pro- 

 fessional sounding,' might warrant. We call the reader's attention especially 

 to the last chapter in the book, in which there is expounded much valuable 

 material of common interest." Times.

" Dr. Herter's book is bound to have the effect of broadening our concep- 

 tion of the subject of infectious diseases of the intestine, and deserves a 

 wide reading." George C. Whipple.
