The clinician will welcome this new work upon tropical medicine as it is written by a noted specialist especially for the clinician. The complete work will be published in two volumes, the second to appear later, and this volume considers the following subjects: Malaria, Leishmaniases, Trypanosomiases, the Relapsing Fevers, Rat Bite Fever, Leptospirosis, the Typhus Fevers, Oroya Fever, Yellow Fever, Rift Valley Fever, Dengue Sand-Fly Group, Plague, Tularaemia, the Undulant Fevers, Melioidosis, the Intestinal Fluxes and Leprosy. The second volume will consider Yaws, Tropical Ulcerative Conditions, Helminthic Infections, Snakes and Snake-Bite, Anemias of the Tropics and Diet and Dietetic Diseases.

It is impossible in a review to give an adequate analysis of this important work but it may be stated that the chapters upon malaria, kala-azar, plague and cholera contain the best clinical descriptions of these infections that the reviewer has seen within recent years and are especially valuable from the stand-point of treatment.
