Conditioned Reflexes and Neuron Organization.

Abstract

which is an adjunct to the office of the practicing physician that it should prove especially helpful.The physician or the technician may readily find information about unfamiliar tests or laboratory methods which he has forgotten.The writing is explicit.Each procedure is detailed in step by step construction.For each test, the principles, general considerations, methods of performance, normal values, and interpretation of findings are listed in order.There are good charts and plates summarizing the findings of such essential laboratory data as the cerebrospinal fluid findings in diverse disease conditions, the morphological appearances of red and white blood cells, and the normal and pathological values in hematology.Diagrams are frequently used to illustrate different pieces of apparatus.The print is large, so that the volume may be left open on a table and read from a distance.The construction is sturdy.There is little that can be said against this book.One may rightly assert that the references to source work are too few and that the tests given are not at all inclusive, but these are minor criticisms.They do not detract from the fact that the author has done a first class, clear, practical job.
