    THE PREVENTION OF DISEASE TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BY WILMOTT EVANS, M.D., B.S., B.Sc, F.R.S. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY H. TIMBRELL BULSTRODE, M.A., M.D., Cantab. D.P.H. Medical Department of H.M. Local Government Board, Lecturer on Public Health in the Medical School of Charing Cross Hospital, Honorary Secretary and Member of Council of the Epidemiological Society of London, etc. Demy 8vo, xviii + 1,063 PP- Price 31s. 6d. net. Lancet.— ... An important contribution towards the development of that larger con- ception of preventive medicine to which we seem to be gradually moving, and the medical officer of health as well as the general medical practitioner should derive inspiration from its pages. The Daily News.— This valuable medical work, the production in the original of a num- ber of eminent German physicians and surgeons, is . . . the first attempt which has been made to view disease in its entirety, whether communicable or not from the standpoint of pre- ventive medicine, in the more comprehensive sense of the term. . . . Every effort has been made to render the meaning of the original into readable English, special attention having been given to rendering the scientific terms and expressions by their correct English equivalents. Westminster Gazette.— No one can read the book without being struck by the scope which exists for preventive operations and the very contracted character of the present day conceptions and practices in this respect. . . . The subject is clearly one destinea to occupy greater prominence here in the future than it has done in the past, and towards a better know- ledge of it the present volume must be regarded as a very important contribution. British Medical Journal.— The appearance of such a book is an important indication of the increasing space occupied by and the increasing importance attached to considerations of hygiene in relation to disease. Its appearance is therefore welcome, and both the hygienist and the practitioner who study its contents will find much valuable practical information. Scottish Medical Journal.— Valuable as this work is the introduction will be read with the most unqualified appreciation by British readers. . . . Taken as a whole, the work is one which should be carefully read by every person on the mldical register.
