Review

Advanced Methods of Massage and Medical Gymnastics.

By Ida C. Shires and Dorothy Wood, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. Illustrated. (The Scientific Press, 5/-.) This most useful little book, as instructive for the medical student as it is for the qualified masseuse, is just what members of the massage profession have been looking for. A special chapter on the treatment of infantile paralysis has been written with the help of Dr. Charles Mackay, and additional value has been given to this

clever little book by the inclusion of a chapter on Pulley and Sling Exercises (Mrs. Guthrie Smith). The very latest methods of treating fractures, deformities well classified m different groups, muscle and joint injuries, and abnormal conditions, suitable for treatment by massage or remedial exercises of every system have all been included. The very original and clever illustrations are simple and most instructive. No masseuse, having glanced at this book could resist having it m her little reference library.
