1954 Medical Progress

چکیده
gations of others but the bibliographies are not lengthy. The tables are clear and serve to stress points. The material is up to date. All combine to make the book a good starting point for one with propensities toward this field and specifically in rheumatic fever and nephritis. Dr. Maclyn McCarty, the editor, states in the preface that a volume of this type has its inherent drawbacks, namely, lack of complete coverage of the subject-matter and continuity. It is my feeling that this may be a small loss in favor of a large gain to most readers. The book reminds me of a series of short stories by different authors as opposed to an exhaustive and exhausting tome. Editorial revision, which probably accounts for absence of serious repetition, does not alter the varied styles of the individual authors. In summary, this book can be recommended to those with interest in hemolytic streptococcal illnesses and infectious diseases in general. A complex subject is handled in a manner that results in a smooth and accurate presentation of facts.

It is now possible to list the Federation's activities up to the end of 1957; this is best done by summarizing the Joint Secretaries' reports for the years 1954, 1955, 1956, and ...
