Excerpt from Early Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Diagnosis, Prognosis and Treatment Tamas are plenty of large authoritative books about tuberculosis. There are plenty of small books which are not authoritative. Dr. Hawes has written a book which is small and yet authoritative. Therein lies its unique merit. Many of the points on which he expresses himself so frankly and tersely are hotly controverted points and he has not formed his Opinion without giving due consid eration to what is to be said upon all sides. In the end I think he has arrived at a set of beliefs expressing the best knowledge of the time. His wide and varied experi ence in the clinical management of tuberculous patients at the Massachusetts General Hospital is balanced by a ripe acquaintance with the social and institutional side of the tuberculosis problem. His position as secretary to the commission in charge of the four tuberculosis sanatoria maintained by the State of Massachusetts brings him into close touch with all of the problems relating to the sanatorium care of tuberculous patients. At the same time, he sees these institutions from without and from the standpoint of an active general practitioner. I feel sure that the book will be of use to many physicians.
