Brucellosis in Man and Animals

In commenting on these experiments one should point out that the artificial respiration experiments wefe carried out with a technic which surely resulted in alkalosis due to actual hyperventilation. This impression is confirmed in the authors' footnote which states that glass electrode determinations in subsequent experiments indicated that the pH of the brain tissue was shifted toward the alkaline side. This factor may be important in interpreting the results of the experiments. 1934 now appears under a title according man priority. Five years have allowed much to be accomplished in the study of this disease, particularly as it occurs in man, and while the 82-page text of 1934, valuable as it was, gave but scant consideration to human infection, its successor of 330 pages deals extensively with the clinical aspects of the disease and at the same time presents those laboratory methods of service in diagnosis and study of the infection. Correspondingly, the 1934 bibliography of 188 references now appears with 378 citations. The increasing importance of the brucelloses demands that-such information as may be available be made accessible; in this text one finds such a statement as of today. health statistics and other problems covered by the League of Nations in its work of international cooperation and in its efforts to raise the standard of health. A valuable section of this bulletin contains the framework of a standard report with health indices so drawn up as to apply equally to rural or urban areas, or to a whole country. This system of health indices follows a trend similar to that of the Appraisal Forms developed by the American Public Health Association, but gives more emphasis to factors of housing and of social environment. A comprehensive report of 260 pages deals with the epidemiology, clinical features and prophylaxis of leptospiroses in man and describes the various
