Anaemia : its Causes and Modern Treatment. By Arthur W.
Puller, M.D.Edin. (H. K. Lewis and Co. 3s. 6d.)
It is difficult to see what useful purpose can be served by the publication of this little book. An article on the subject of haemoglobin-deficiency and oligocytbaemia in one of the medical journals would surely have sufficed. The author states that he has found the injection of a solution of colloidal iron, arsenic and strychnine in isotonic serum of value in these cases, but the very information which would be of value to the clinician is withheld. There is no mention of the quantitative composition of this injection, the mode of its preparation, nor where it may be procured ; nor are we told how many injections constitute a " course," nor yet the intervals which should separate successive injections. Perhaps Dr. Fuller will make good these omissions in another place.
