A Treatise on Bacterid, Euhgi and Protozoa Pathogenic for Do- 

 mesticated Animals. 



" More than a third of the book is given up to a consideration 

 of the general principles of bacteriology and such topics as the iso- 

 lation and cultivation of bacteria, methods of examination of cul- 

 tures, microscopic study of specimens ' and the vital activities of 

 bacteria are treated at length. Methods and technique indeed are 

 emphasized throughout, but possibly the features which are of the 

 greatest value in this book of Professor Moore's and in which it is 

 superior to other text-books is the care and thoroughness which 

 are devoted to descriptions of the various microorganisms such as 

 the Streptococcus pyogenes, the Micrococcus aureus, the Bacterium 

 anthracis, the Bacterium mallei, the Bacillus lactis aerogenes and the 

 tubercle bacillus. Particularly to be praised is the author's treat- 

 ment of the organisms causing hemorrhagic septicaemia in animals, 

 a chapter in bacteriology in which the majority of our text-books 

 are either hopelessly muddled or entirely inadequate. . . . The 

 treatment of specific bacterial products is exceptionally good, excel- 

 lent descriptions being given of the precipitins, and agglutinins, and 

 the opsonins. 



" This book of Professor Moore's is most highly to be recom- 

 mended to all students of bacteriology, and especially to new work- 

 ers in this field who desire to acquaint themselves with the funda- 

 mental elements of the subject." — Review from the Johns Hopkins 

 Hospital Bulletin.
