2. The Human Mechanism ; its Physiology and Hygiene 

 and the Sanitation of its Surroundings ; by Theodore Hough 

 and William T. Sedgwick. Pp. ix + 564, with 147 illustrations. 

 New York and Boston, 1906 (Ginn & Company). — This text- 

 book differs widely from the usual elementary treatise on physiol- 

 ogy in that the anatomical portion of the subject is made as 

 brief and elementary as possible in order to give greater empha- 

 sis to the strictly physiological and hygienic aspects of the body. 

 The book is divided into two parts of nearly equal length : (I) 

 physiology proper, including a brief and simple account of such ana- 

 tomical structures as are absolutely necessary for a proper under-
