Abstract
THE importance of the alcohol question to the well-being of the race can scarcely be exaggerated, and in many respects this book will be very useful, but it is questionable whether the authors do not go too far in ascribing to alcohol ill effects only and no useful properties. The book, in fact, is a partisan one, and any evidence favourable to alcohol has been completely suppressed.

By Sir Victor Horsley Dr. Mary D. Sturge, with a Chapter by Dr. Arthur Newsholme. Pp. xvi + 370. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1907.) Price 5s. net.
