N2  - The authors of this book deserve high praise for the interesting way in which they have assembled a vast mass of material. As they state in the preface, the thought of making nationwide observations on streptococcal activity seemed of only academic interest until lately; the war, however, made the need of practical and essential significance.Dr. Coburn and Dr. Young were in a position to follow a wise bit of Oslerian advice—"Observe, tabulate and record." In this monograph, therefore, they record the results of observing and tabulating the effect of the streptococcus on young men in training for Naval service.They were helped in all possible ways: by epidemiologists, bacteriologists, clinicians and statisticians, as well as by patients themselves. The result is a valuable account of composite medical experience. It is interesting for a practicing doctor to read, for it describes so clearly how streptococcus infections are likely to spread
