This new edition represents a distinct addition to the textbook field of pediatrics. It is up to the standard of previous editions and shows constant revision and new ideas that have been developed in the last several years.
New material is abundant. The whole of the chapters on the nervous system has been redesigned. A surgeon now collaborates with a physician in the sections on organic disease, where will be found full details of encephalography and ventriculography, and a team of 4 has been responsible for the chapter on functional disorders of the nervous system which includes sections on mental testing and on electroencephalography.
