(1) The Pathology of Growth: Tumours (2) Researches into Induced Cell-reproduction and Cancer, and other Papers

Abstract

(1) THIS volume seems to promise a series on the pathology of growth, under the editorship of Prof. A. E. Boycott. The venture is a welcome one showing that the move towards a closer union between pathology and physiology is making progress. Pathology is still so often restricted to, or actually confounded with, mere morbid anatomy that the wider recognition of disturbance of function—in the case of this volume of abnormality of growth—as a department of physiology proper, can only contribute both to a more wide-visioned outlook on the processes of disease, and also equally to a more critical attitude on the part of those whose sphere of activity proper is the investigation of disease, and not of normal function or structure.
