The Nation's Health : the Stamping out of Venereal Disease.
By Sir Malcolm Morris. (Cassell and Co. 3s. 6d. net.)—As a member of the Royal Commission, Sir Malcolm Morris has written this admirable little book to drive home the lessons of tho Report. He describes the history and nature of venereal disease,, showing incidentally that it is more prevalent in towns than in the country. He lays stress on the difficulties in the way of compulsory notification, and still more of com- pulsory treatment. He regards the old policy of regulation, still fol- lowed on the Continent, as a complete failure. Medical men must, be holds, be privileged to warn a patient's intended bride against Marriage. In a final chapter he says some Dlain words on the increase of the plague caused by the war and the urgent need of dealing with it more thoroughly.
