This book attempts to present a complicated subject in a simple manner to help parents of allergic children in their understanding and care of allergic diseases. It encounters the major problems of all medical books written for the layman in trying to outline diagnosis and treatment in such a way as not to clash with the opinions and directions of the patient's physician and to avoid emphasis because of the author's bias. From the reader's standpoint, it is largely successful in both respects.

Diagnosis And Treatment

Mental Retardation: Diagnosis and Treatment, is a survey of modest size (271 pages) with a light, very readable style, touching briefly on the main areas of study of the child with cerebral handicap and thus oriented primarily toward the student or the generalist. Whereas two well written and broadly useful chapters are "Education information" (chapter 4) and "Treatment of metabolic and endocrine causes" (chapter 7) , the bulk of the text is distressingly superficial and unsatisfactory, representing a medically pragmatic and rather compromising attitude.
