The Annual Report for 1919-20 of the Chief Medical Officer

to the Ministry of Health (Stationery Office, 3s. Gd. net) contains much important matter. We may mention Dr. Buchanan's report on epidemics-especially the typhus plague in Eastern Europe which menaces the whole Continent and Great Britain too-and Dr. Janet Campbell's report on maternity and child welfare.
