    American authorities on milk have been followed be- cause the conditions under which milk is produced and marketed in America are so different from those of Europe that many statements found in European medical jour- nals concerning milk supplies must be inapplicable to the work of a majority of American physicians, and besides, the greatest advances in dairying and knowledge of the chemistry of milk have been made in America. In the Appendix will be found a list of works and articles from which data have been drawn. The material of the book has been divided into four parts, each being as complete in itself as the subject will allow. By a system of cross references it is aimed to bring the prin- ciples involved and their application in close connection. The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Profs. W. A. Henry, S. M. Babcock, and F. W. Woll, and Major H. E. Alvord for valuable information; to Professor H. W. Conn for the chapter on Bacterio- logical Examination of Milk; to Dr. Hrdlika for making anthropological measurements, assisted by Dr. Pisek, and to Dr. Pisek for securing the photographs of infants. The thanks of the author are also extended to the pub- lishers for courtesies rendered during the preparation of the volume.
