In general, while not much space is given to treatment, what there is, is clear and is carefully selected by the author, instead of leaving this important point to the discretion of the reader. His discussion of the chronic arthritides is quite full and very instructive. He points out particularly the resemblance between the pathological conditions found in various chronic infectious joints and in the various stages of joint tuberculosis. This little book will certainly be of use to anyone who has to treat bone and joint diseases. --Reed. NEWS ITEMS Dr. Chas. Pierce, of Wadena, has moved to Menahaga. Dr. J. L.

The Physicians’ Hospital company has been incorporated at Thief River Falls for the purpose of building and maintaining a hospital at that place. The company is capitalized at $25,000.

The Medical Society of the State of New York invites all physicians of the country to its hundred and ninth annual meeting which is to be held in Buffalo, April 27-29. This will probably be the largest medical meeting of the year, except perhaps that of the A. M. A. in San Francisco. Messrs. J. D. Edgar, Arnold Hamel, R. A. Johnson, and H. A.

Dr. James E. Moore, who has practised in Minneapolis for thirty-two years, twenty-eight of which have been devoted to the exclusive practice of surgery, has given up his practice and will, hereafter, give his entire time to the Medical School of the University of Minnesota, except for a limited amount of consultation work. In our last issue we made the statement that the Ramsey County Medical Society would not admit a physician to membership until he had been a resident of the county for one year. This should have been written so as to convey the meaning that a physician must have been a resident of some county for at least a year, not necessarily Ramsey County.
