510 NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL JOURNAL September, 1946 Alcohol Reaction at Yale. By Ernest Gordon. Price, $1.00. 87 pages. Francestown, N. H.: The Alcohol Information Press, 1946. This book is pure propaganda aimed at discrediting the studies on alcohol done at Yale University. The author, who does not identify himself, writes uncritically from the viewpoint of a layman. Many assertions are documented by statements from the lay press or current lay periodicals; the scientific references are usually to European literature, some of which dates to the third and fourth decades of this century. The author has attempted by vituperation and ridicule to plug the theme of complete prohibition and to castigate brewers and distillers. Protein Nutrition in Health and Disease. Reprinted by Mead Johnson & Company, Evansville, Indiana. This small monograph consists of nine articles prepared under the auspices of the Council on Foods and Nutrition and reprinted from the Journal of the American Medical Association. The proper selection of protein foods and the role of protein in nutrition, as well as its importance in surgery and in resistance to infection, are discussed. Also included are chapters on the clinical detection of protein deficiencies and the use of amino acids. The subjects are covered in a concise, clear fashion. Illustrative charts and tables, as well as an excellent bibliography, are included. Mead Johnson & Comnany is to be commended for making available to physicians this up-to-date summary on a subject of increasing importance. New and Nonofficial Remedies, 1946, containing descriptions of the articles which stand accepted by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association on Jan. 1, 1946. Price, $1.50. 770 pages. Chicago: American Medical Association, 1946. New and Nonofficial Remedies is the book in which are listed and described the medicinal preparations which the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry has found acceptable, under its rules, for the use of physicians. To have a product accepted, the manufacturer must declare its composition, give adequate proof of its therapeutic value and market it with claims which have been found valid by the Council. The present volume represents a cumulative epitome of the Council's work since its foundation in 1905. Accepted preparations are grouped in twenty-four classifications ranging from Allergenic Preparations to Vitamins. Ordinarily, an inclusive general article precedes the description of the various products. The monograph for the products sets forth the actions, uses and dosages, and usually a set of tests and standards. As its name implies, the book is intended to describe nonofficial preparations—that is, preparations which are not included in such official publications as the Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary. However, some official articles are listed and described, these being in general those for which the Council feels the practicing physician needs concise and authoritative information. Examination of the volume reveals that there have been no extensive or radical revisions of the general articles representing the twenty-four chapter heads under which preparations are classified. There appear to be no spectacularly new accepted preparations. Perhaps the most noteworthy is the casein hydrolysate, Amigen, acceptance of which will no doubt be followed by that of many more preparations representing the field of amino acid therapy. Annual Reprint of the Reports of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association for 1945. Price, $1.00. 122 pages. Chicago: American Medical Association, 1946. Originally intended chiefly as a repository of its reports on rejection of preparations found unacceptable for inclusion in New and Nonofficial Remedies or of status reports on products whose therapeutic value has not yet been established, this volume in recent years has been composed mainly of reports giving general information to the physician on the status of various therapeutic agents and therapeutic-procedures. Most of these reports have previously been published in The Journal of the American Medical Association. The reports in the present volume emphasize the educational nature of the Council's work and bear witness to its leadership in the consideration of current therapeutic problems. The report, "Dermatophytosis: Treatment and Prophylaxis," gives a concise estimate of progress in this field and sets up useful standards for the evaluation of fungicidal preparations. The report on "Dangers from the External Use of Sulfonamides" obviously stems from war-time experience with these preparations and issues a warning against over-the-counter sales. The report, "Status of Poison Ivy Extracts," emphasizes the fact that these preparations are to be used in prevention rather than treatment. The report on Acne Bacillus Vaccine points out that this preparation, in the opinion of most investigators, fails in most cases clinically to arrest or control acne vulgaris. In the report, "The Status of Passive Immunization and Treatment in Pertussis by the Use of Human Hyperimmune Serum," prepared by Dr. Harriet M. Felton and sponsored by the Council, the status of these preparations was definitely outlined just prior to the acceptance by the Council of a number of commercial preparations. This volume, as well as preceding Annual Reprints, is of interest not only to physicians but also to pharmacists, chemists and pharmaceutical manufacturers—in fact, to all who are interested in the progress of drug therapy. Anatomical Atlas of the Head A long felt need in the dental field is finally being filled by an excellently visualized anatomical atlas of the oral cavity and surrounding structures just made available by the Wernet Mfg. Co., of Jersey City, N. J., as a service to the dental profession. Bound in book form and titled, "Transvision anatomy of Head Structures involved in the problems of Oral Prosthesis," it presents a series of three-dimensional illustrations in full color. The three-dimensional effect is obtained by printing on transparent pages, similar to cellophane. Right hand pages reveal the structures of the right side of the head, layer on layer, through the transparencies, from the skin inwards. Left hand pages reveal the structures of the left side of the head, looking outwards towards the skin. Copies of "Transvision Anatomy" are now being made available to the dental profession by the Wernet Mfg. Co., at the nominal charge of $1.00 to cover handling charges. "Womanhealth" is the apt title of a readable little manual which proves a welcome addition to the literature available to the profession for passing on to women patients. It is published by the Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, of Linden, N. J. as a service to physicians, who will receive copies free on request.
