Abstract

BOOKS AND REPORTS honesty of its officials are grossly unfair and unwarranted. Like much of the material that emanates from Consumers Research, Inc., this book is interesting, entertaining, and somewhat instructive, but extremely unreliable. It represents a vast amount of research, much of which could have been utilized to better advantage. It presents some valuable facts which may help to jar the public out of its customary complacent attitude toward quacks and charlatans, but too many of the data are fantastically exploited and erroneously interpreted. Probably for that reason the book is already more or less of a best seller. Sanitarians may enjoy reading it, provided they do so with an open mind. JAMES A. TOBEY Health Stories, Book One-By Anna B. Towse and WVilliam S. Gray. Chicago: Scott, Foresman and Co., 1933. 144 pp. Price, $.60. What with the mauling teachers are receiving in many quarters, this is, first of all, a cheerful looking book. That is something very important these days. The 97 pictures are the more attractive through the generous use of colors. There are birds, dogs, ducks, and flowers which the children love and pictures also of occasional vegetables which they do not always
