Volumes I and II dealing with viral and bacterial diseases of man, respectively, were published simultaneously and were discussed in a previous review. The present volume covering diseases due to fungi was issued more recently. The chapters on pneumococcal and klebsiellal diseases are somewhat incongruously incorporated in this last volume, perhaps in order to produce a series of books of approximately equal size.

Basically, there is little that need be said. The book represents a workman-like job, with, not unexpectedly, the same strengths and weaknesses pointed out in the earlier review: a certain unevenness of emphasis, an occasional hint of quaintness, a lack of selectivity between what is important and what is not, combined with fine clinical descriptions and great clarity of expression.
