In this third revision Dr. Lyon has again been assisted by Miss Elgie Wallinger, who was his co-author in the first edition. It is a text and reference for student nurses. The excellent arrangement of the book has been retained. As before, there are units dealing with growth and development, the child in the home, in the hospital and in the community, as well as units on nutrition, abnormalities and diseases. Most of the illustrations and tabulations are unchanged.
