Price: £3 5s. $10.00 Sw. fr. 40.- (clothbound) Plague, from the beginning of history the dread of mankind, is a disease which is regressing but which has by no means been eradicated. Endemic in many countries, enzootic among wild rodents in vast areas of the world, it remains an important problem in public health. The author, drawing upon the experience of a lifetime largely devoted to plague, has provided in this work not only a summary of present knowledge, but also a practical guide for clinicians, biologists, health workers, and epidemiologists.

Prix: Fr. s. 40.- Fr. fr. 3300 £3 5s. $10.00 (relie) La peste qui, des l'aube des temps historiques, fut la terreur de l'humanite, est une maladie en regression, mais non une maladie eteinte. Endemique dans maints pays, enzootique chez les rongeurs sauvages de vastes regions, elle reste un probleme de sante publique important. Fort de l'experience d'une carriere consacree en grande partie a' la peste, I'auteur a fait de ce volume, non seulement la somme des connaissances presentes, mais un guide pratique d l'usage des cliniciens, des hygienistes, des biologistes et des epide- miologistes.
