Infectious Diseases in Schools

This is a very useful book and has been written for and is being issued by the Association of Preparatory Schools. The book is written mainly for masters of schools, and the clinical picture is chiefly dealt with. There is also an excellent chapter by Mr. Dayne on infectious eye diseases and on ringworm by Dr. Aldersmith. The authors are respectively medical officers to Wellington and Clifton Colleges. The book deals in a clear and accurate way with the recognition and differentiation of all the chief diseases of youth, and includes cerebrospinal, meningitis and epidemic poliomyelitis.
