This volume inaugurates another periodic presentation of selected subjects by various authors in the field of pediatrics. It is related to and supplements a multiple-volume work on "Therapeutics of Infancy and Childhood" by the same principal authors. Articles have been selected which are of practical application and, therefore, are restricted in coverage of all recent advances in therapeutics.
The chapter headings and authors are as follows: "The Use of the Grid Technic as a Guide to the Treatment of Diseases Causing Growth Failure in Children" by Norman C. Wetzel, M.D.; "Dysenteries and the Salmonella Infections" by Joseph Felsen, M.D.; "Cystic Fibrosis of the Pancreas" by Paul E. A. di Saint Agnese, M.D.; "Thiourea Drugs in Hyperthyroidism" by Bernard Seligman, M.D.; "Coburn Treatment of Rheumatic Fever" by Walter Heymann, M.D.
