BOOK NOTICES. 47 than Samuel Hopkins Adams, author of "The Clarion." Mr. Adams is best known to the public as the man who exposed the patent medicine frauds and was primarily responsible for the enactment of the Pure Food and Drug Act. This work led him into a study of newspapers and of what lay behind the "news" furnished daily to the American public. He had already had ten years of experience as reporter for a New York daily and this investigation, by giving him a wide knowledge of the business side of newspapers, left him thoroughly conversant with all aspects of mordern journalism. Flal Surtaine is the hero of the story, Shortly after his return from college he purchased the Clarion, a newspaper, because a few days previously it had refused to retract some charges published against his father and his father's business, Dr. L. Andre Surtaine, the opulent maker of "Certina." Young Surtaine, the only son of a millionaire, starts out to run his paper with high ideals and the story is made up of the problems he has to meet and the difficulties he has to overcome. It gives a very graphic picture of the forces which control journalism and the relations between journalism and "business" and of the influence which the advertiser has on a free press. The Philosophy of Radio-Activity, or Selective Involution. By Eugene Coleman Savidge, Member of New York Academy of Medicine, New York Obstetrical Society, American Medical Association, New York State Medical Society, Society Alumni Roosevelt Hospital; former Ass't Gynecologist, Roosevelt Hospital; former Attending Gynecologist, St. Mark's Hospital ; author of 'The Problem of Cancer, or the Philosophy of Malignancy." New York: William R. Jenkins Company Publishers, 1914. Sixth Avenue at 48th Street. Price $1.50. This book was intended originally as an introduction to the medical writings of the author, read before scientific bodies and published during the last two decades. The manuscript outgrew the. original purpose however. Radio-activity, while forcing a change in view point in all the sciences, is chiefly identified in the public mind as in mysterious relation with malignancy. Though this relation will be seen to be very close, both as to cause and possibly cure, this forms but small part of the general importance of the subject. Nevertheless, as this is the point on which false hopes might work harm, the following quotation is taken from the writer's book on this subject, "the Problem of Cancer; or the Philosophy of Malignancy." "April 10, 1914, the American Society for the Control of Cancer held its second meeting at the New York Academy of Medicine. Dr. Clement Cleveland presided, and the speakers were Dr. William J. Mayo, President of the American Surgical Association; Mr. Frederick C. Hoffman, life insurance statistical expert; Dr. Francis Carter Wood, Director of the George Crocker Research Laboratory, and Prof. J. Collins Warren, President of the Harvard Cancer Commission. "Briefly stated, the dictum of this recent and authoritative body stands: "Surgery will cure practically all malignancy if action is taken at the start; Surgery is therefore always first, other measures second." All surgeons and really everyone interested in this subject ought to read this book. It is not only interesting but very instructive. It has appeared at an opportune time when the professional mind has a tendency to study the problem of cancer and when Radio-Activity has attracted, and is now attracting, an immense amount of study. It seems to the reviewer that the writer had a fine opportunity to illustrate the book more thoroughly. The illustrations that he used, however, are quite good and illustrate beautifully the text. There are 151 pages of text and the index is accurate and complete. Fever Its Thermotaxis and Metabolism. By Isaac Ott, A. M., M. D., Professor of Physiology Medico-Chirurgical College, Philadelphia, Member of American Physiological Society, Ex-president of American Neurological Association, etc. Paul B. Hoeber, 67 E. 59th St., New York. 1914. Price, $1.50 net. This book of 166 pages is a small one containing three lectures that were delivered before the Sophomore Class of the Medico-Chirurgical College. They were so favorably received that it was believed by the publishers that it would be well enough to put them in volume form. The subject the author deals wtih is, of course, one of maximum importance to the medical profession, especially the general practitioner. The author has been a practicing physician for many years and these
