✦ Synopsis

London: Edward Arnold (Publishers) Ltd. 35s.

THIS small book should be of value to all who have to treat injuries in tropical districts where modern equipment is not to be found. The treatment of fractures and the application of plasters is very sound.

There is an excellent chapter on anaesthetics written by Dr. J. V. Farman.
