hospital architect, Mr. Edward F. Stevens. This is a valuable book for all those interested in the organized care of the sick and the pro- motion of health.

FINDING THEMSELVES. By Julia C. Stimson, M.A., R.N. The Mac- millan Company, New York. Price, $1.25. This collection of letters written by an American Army Chief

Nurse in a British Hospital in France, with no thought of publication, gives a graphic and detailed account of the experiences and im- pressions of the nurses during the first year of the war. In a delightful way the homely doings of every-day duty are related. The uncomplaining bravery of the wounded men is told again and again. The loyalty, courage and cheerful acceptance of unaccustomed hard- ships by the nurses are understandingly and sympathetically and even humorously portrayed in these "home" letters. Miss Stimson clearly shows how the personnel of the Hospital Unit, perhaps more than others, learned the supreme lesson taught by unselfish devotion to an ideal: the consequent strength and peace and content that come from service in the great cause of righteousness,-an intensely interesting book full of an inspiring optimism and boundless courage.

INFORMATION FOR THE TUBERCULOUS. By F. W. Wittich, A.M., M.D. C. V. Mosby Company, St. Louis. Price, $1.00. The presentation of the text is elemental and simple, as best fitted

for the understanding of the untrained individual. The author has had large experience both as patient and physician, and writes, therefore, with a sympathetic understanding of the needs of the patient. This book gives useful information that should prove beneficial to the general public.

A DIABETIC MANUAL. By Elliot P. Joslin, M.D. Lea and Febiger, Philadelphia. Price, $1.75. This instructive manual is dedicated to the diabetic patients of

the United States of America. It is a systematic presentation of diabetes and its treatment, by a well known authority on this subject. The book is arranged in four parts covering a brief survey of the subject; an outline of treatment; diet tables and recipes; and the description of simple laboratory examinations and tests. It is an excellent reference book for the private duty nurse and for the library of the school of nursing.
