An excellently written book, and one that probes very deeply

into the fundamentals of life, is Professor J. Arthur Thonison's Towards Health (Methuen. 7s. 6d.). Our. readers have often had the pleasure of reading Professor Thomson's reviews, so they will not need to be told that his, style is informed, with lucidity and sparkle, and that, his attitude td the subjects he treats is sane and balanced. Some of Old subjects treated are :—" Vis Medicatrix Naturae," Entlitd siasm for Health," "The Healthy Mind and Hormones,", "Health and _ the Curve. of Life," "Health and .Heredity,' and the "Biology, of health."
