130 SOUTHERN MEDICINE & SURGERY April, 1948 authorities. Among the subjects covered are infections, venereal diseases, tropical medicine, gastrointestinal disorders, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular-renal diseases, diseases of the blood, diseases of the chest, diseases of the nervous system, endocrine disorders, psychosomatic medicine and chronic rheumatic disease. It appears that critical judgment has been exercised on relative importance of recent advances in medicine and certainly the dealing with the subjects chosen is admirable. THE PRACTICAL NURSE, by Dorothy Deming, R. N., Consultant in Public Health Nursing, Merit System Unit, American Public Health Association; Formerly Director, National Organization for Public Health Nursing. The Commonwealth Fund, 41 East 57th St., New York 22. 1947. $3.00. This book is presented as the resultant of the thinking of hundreds of persons who have expressed themselves to the author on the need for and function of the practical nurse. The aim of the book is to review and size up factors in the situation especially in view of the shortage of professional nursing. It is represented as the responsibility of professional nurses to see that patients get the best possible care to be had from practical nurses, by seeing to it that these practical nurses are adequately taught. It is recognized that patients have always w^anted and will always want practical nurses for certain types and stages of illness. It is to be hoped that publication of this and similar books will serve to make the services of practical nurses of more and more value and more and more available. PSYCHOBIOLOGY AND PSYCHIATRY: A Textbook of Normal and Abnormal Human Behavior, by Wendell Muncie, M.D., Practicing Psychiatrist; Chairman. Medical Advisory Board. Sexton Institute, etc. Second edition with 70 illustrations. The C. V. Mosby Company, 3207 Washington Blvd., St. Louis 3, Mo. 1948. $9.00. The author is frank to say that there is still a lack of agreement among psychiatrists as to many elements of diagnosis and treatment. He recognizes his primary task to be the aiding of suffering humans. He has edited this second edition extensively in the light of recent years devoted largely to private practice, and relates what he has found useful in this practice. Part I is a study of normal behavior; Part II of abnormal behavior; while Part III is devoted to treatment—nearly a hundred pages of it. The author says that it has been his constant effort to test theory and to strip from his service to patients the academic chaff of words, cliches and hallowed traditions. A study of the book will convince the student that this effort has been to a large degree successful. MEDICAL ASPECTS OF ESSEXTL\L HYPERTENSION A good many doctors question whether symptoms are often, if ever, due to increased pressure alone. Rowland^ is of the opinion that most symptoms attributed to hypertension are due to a neurosis, often engendered or amplified by suggestion of physicians. If hypertension occurs in a stable individual he is likely to be symptomless; an unstable or neurotic individual has symptoms which are attributable to hypertension. It does little good to bring down the blood pressure for a short time then have it go up in spite of continued treatment—the usual experience with the medications we have present. Far the largest factor in etiology is heredity; other factors usually blamed, such as the stress and strain of our mode of life, diet and obesity, are of secondary importance. Kempner in 1944 introduced the rice diet. His results in a large series of cases have been marked to moderate benefit in 73 per cent. The diet contains 2,000 calories; only 5 gms. of fat, 20 gms. of protein, .2 gms. of chloride, and .15 gms. of sodium. Rowland is impressed with the low-sodium feature and believes that this is the basis for its virtue; also, the low-fat, low-cholesterol features may be productive of benefit. A brief resume of his experience of a very small series of cases recounts excellent results from salt reduction. Most cases of hypertension are symptomless until cardiac, cerebral and/or renal complications occur. Further symptoms are most often not due to the increase in blood pressure. There is no medicine at present that will consistently lower blood pressure and keep it at a low level. In a certain percentage of cases the low-sodium diet will lower the blood pressure. 1. Driver Rowland, Hot Springs National Park, in Jl. of Ark. Med. Soc.. April. Carcinoma of the prostate incidence compared with simple enlargement is 1:5 to 1:6.—Galbraith. In a hiph percentage of cases barium enema will reveal divertiada. In some instances it will be necessary to repeat the enema several times before the diverticula will be demonstrated. Modern Miracle The personnel man in a large organization insisted on keeping a large bowl of goldfish on his desk. When a friend asked why the harassed looking individual replied: '"Well, frankly it's a novelty to have something around here that opens its mouth without asking for a pay in-:rease."—Christian Science Monitor.
