AB The purpose of this book is to present an outline of bronchial asthma. The bibliography correlates the older work with the new, and in this way brings many of the early important studies to the attention of the reader. The factors which underlie an asthmatic paroxysm, the anatomic structures which participate in an attack, the fundamental questions of etiology and the treatment of the disease are well discussed. The chapter on treatment takes up all the modern methods of therapy in a concise manner, and the references are sufficient to allow a detailed study if desired. The book is well written.
