    The Manual of Ambulance has been revised and considerably enlarged by additions to the sections deal- ing with Artificial Respiration, Electrical Accidents, and Ambulance Transport. Many new figures showing recent methods of improvising stretchers, railway waggons, carts, motor onmibuses, and motor lorries for the conveyance of sick and wounded have been added ; for the use of these the Author is indebted to the Editors of the Royal Army Medical Corps Journal. The Chapters on Fractures and Dislocations and on Foreign Bodies in the tissues are further illustrated by X-ray photographs taken by Dr. Levack, Medical Elec- trician to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. A new Chapter on Voluntary Aid Detachments and their work is appended, and therein the relation of these Detachments to the Medical Service of the Territorial Force is fully illustrated and described. The Author's thanks are due to Dr. W. R. Pirie for kindly assisting in the final revision of the proof-sheets and index. J. SCOTT RIDDELL. Aberdeen, November, 1913.
