98 The Philippine Journal of Science 



The headings and subheadings are somewhat confusing be- 

 cause of their arrangement and frequency and we believe the 

 appearance of the book would have been benefited by the adop- 

 tion of a different system and by making fewer subheads. The 

 data on any one particular food are also rather scattered and 

 a closer correlation of this information would have resulted in 

 an improved text. Many source references are given, which is 

 a commendable feature, and while the references are limited in 

 scope, they are the ones that are most apt to be available to 

 the ordinary high school and college. 



On the whole, the book is written in an interesting fashion, 

 can be easily read by a person without a knowledge of chemistrj', 

 and, while it offers no new information on the subject of foods, 

 is valuable because of its availability to the nontechnical person,
