He may also lay foundation stones, but he will certainly inaugurate the Olympic Games, which though encouraging the rivalry of nations in one respect, should be such a great factor in securing peace and good fellowship.
It is a well-recognized and important custom in all industrial concerns that a careful stocktaking should be carried out at frequent intervals. It is equally important that clinical reports should be published regularly by all great teaching hospitals and thereby establish a stocktaking. It is not necessary to remind readers of the valuable, even epoch-making, articles which have been made in the annual reports published by the staffs of hospitals in this country. The present volume contains two valuable critical reviews over periods of ten years of carcinoma in the colon and rectum, and a third on the importance of Trousseau's opinion that venous thrombosis might be a sign of malignancy, and first described by him in 1869. The other articles deal with subjects which are closely related to biochemistry and more strictly deal with clinical medicine rather than surgical procedures, and quite properly two articles deal with rare conditions such as a ' bifid cardiac apex ' and unusual clinical conditions produced by gout.
The illustrations in the volume are extremely good. Its perusal may quite well stimulate the staffs of other hospitals to ' face up ' to some of the disturbing facts which may emerge from an honest stocktaking.
