been able to cultivate an organism like the strepto-
coccus from the brain and cord of fatal cases, and
this oragnism when injected into rabbits brought
about a condition clinically similar to poliomyelitis
and caused pathological lesions in rabbits which
were similar in every way to the pathology Where Can I Buy Cialis In Australia of polio-
myelitis in man. Rosenow, Towne, and Wheeler
cultivated the same organism which they said
caused a condition resembling poliomyelitis in rab-
bits, guineapigs, dogs, cats, and Where Can I Buy Cialis In Australia monkeys. Further
experiments of these workers showed transmuta-
tion from the streptococcus like organisms to small
globoid bodies.
Since these results were not in harmony with
the work of other experimenters. Doctor Bull and
other pathologists at the Rockefeller Institute en-
deavored to verfy them. Streptococci were col-
lected from the tonsils of a number of cases of
poliomyelitis and their effects on various animals
studied. Streptococci were isolated from the tonsils
in other conditions as controls, an endeavor being
made to get streptococci from children who had
been exposed to the disease during the epidemic.

4^Where Can I Buy Cialis In Australia be discussed fairly in the ordinary
textbook niamier. Any attempt to do so necessarily sacri-
fices accuracy Where Can I Buy Cialis In Australia to system. It is all very well to describe
syphilitic cerebral meningitis, and syphilitic meningo-
myelitis, and a host of others as if they were clear cut
syndromes — and sometimes they are — but in doing so thi-
syphilitic patient recedes from view, and he, after all, is
the important thing. He must be studied individually,
especially when the central nervous system is invaded.
This the present writers have done. They discuss 137
case histories, ranging from cases presenting almost a
single symptom to neuropsychological museums. These
cases are described not in a lifeless, categorical fashion,
but so vividly that we see the problem presented, almost
the patient himself ; and not only the diagnostic and
prognostic features are expounded, but other aspects often
intensely important for the practitioner, but how often
neglected ! The social aspects of the disease are dis-
cussed : Shall the patient continue his work? Shall he
marry? The psychic aspects are also gone into: How
shall we handle his syphilophobia? Is there such a dis-
ease as syphilitic neurasthenia? The authors' attitude
toward general paresis is an optimistic one; they call
attention to the infinite number of conditions which may
simulate this disorder and emphasize the slogan, "Push
treatment!" The last himdred pages of the book arc
devoted to neurosyphilis and the war. The effect of gas,
shell shock, and the stress of warfare on these patients is
s a State board or any other examination or as a
review of the more important facts of any particular
branch of medicine.

This book is very practically and simply fitted to the pur-
pose it has in view. It is besides so clearly and scientifically
e.xpresscd that it must prove not only attractive and in-
-tructive to parents who are realizing their psychological
responsibility toward their children's training, but it will
stininl'ite and rouse them to the possibilities that lie within
their own hands and to the points of attack upon children's
