Dr. Arthur Raneome's activity of more than half a century

in the fight against tuberculosis will be well known by our readers. Under the title of A Campaign against Consumption (Cambridge University Press, 10s. 6d, net) he has now collected a number of his writings that bear upon that subject. The twenty-two papers in the volume, of which the earliest was first published in 1881, are classified under four headings. One of these includes essays touching general aspects of the question, another deals with the conditions of infection, a third with research, while the last is devoted chiefly to statistical information- The book should prove of high value to those who are working in the same field.
