Babies: its Place amongst Germ - Diseases, and its Origin in the

Animal Kingdom. By David Sime, M.D. (Cambridge University Press. 10s. 6d. net.)—Whilst somewhat too technical for lengthy review in the columns of a lay paper, Dr. Sime's treatise on rabies is so admirable a specimen of those scientific monographs which it is the proper function of a University Press to disseminate, that we must call attention to its merits. Rabies, which puzzled every previous generation of medical investigators, so that they were forced to confess their entire ignorance of its causes, is an excellent subject for such a monograph. Dr. Sime's monograph is thorough in method and far-reaching in suggestiveness.
