Pathology and Bacteriology of the Eye. An International System of 



Ophthalmic Practice. By E. Treacher Collins, F. R. C. S., and M. 



Stephen Mayon, F. R. C. S. Edited by Walter L. Pyle, A. M., M. D., 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



Both authors are well known ; their extensive experience, 

 coupled with unusual laboratory opportunities, enabled them to 

 write a treatise excelling anything that has been published here- 

 tofore on the same lines. The book is unsurpassed in compact- 

 ness and clearness, and incorporates the most recent views. 

 Chapters I and II describe aberration in development and 

 neoplasms with description of their origin ; Chapter III takes 

 up derangements of the circulating fluids of the eye and of 

 the vessels in which they are contained, and toxic amblyopia 

 and glaucoma; Chapter IV contains a complete treatise upon 

 injuries of the eye, foreign bodies in the eye, burns and 

 injuries with caustics, and also, last but not least, injuries from 

 exposure to bright light, electric shocks, lightning, and the 

 X-rays. The subject of Chapters V and VI is inflammation due 

 to systemic, extrinsic, and parasitic causes. Degeneration is 

 dealt with in Chapter VII. The appendix is devoted to the 

 practical methods of obtaining material for examination, meth- 

 ods of fixing and hardening, mounting macroscopic and micro- 

 scopic specimens, collecting blood, film-making, preparation of 

 vaccines, and Wassermann and agglutination tests. 



The book is well illustrated with about 250 figures in the 

 text and 3 colored plates.
