The third edition of this text, like its pre-
decessors, provides coverage in one book of
the protozoan parasites of veterinary import-
ance. It includes, aside from the chapters on
organisms definitely classified as protozoa,
a chapter on parasites of uncertain classifi-
cation such as Anaplasma and Haemobartonel-
la usually considered with the protozoa. Stud-
ents or researchers in the field of parasit-
ology will find this a useful reference text
with concise yet comprehensive information
on life history, distribution, reproduction,
etc., of each family, while practitioners will
appreciate the attention accorded to the as-
pects of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.
Special chapters on the chemotherapy, tech-
niques and equipment used in the study of
protozoa enhance the value of the text. If one
might be permitted a single perhaps captious
criticism it would be against the paragraph
on drug equivalents of compounds. The lethal

THE LONG WHITE LINE, THE STORY OF
ABBOTT LABORATORIES.
By Herman Kogan. Published by Random
House, New York City. 310 pages. Price $5.95
(U.S.).
This is the biography of one of the leading
pharmaceutical.companies in the world. Writ-
ten in easy, narrative style, it traces the his-
tory of the company from the days when
Wallace Calvin Abbott began his medical ca-
reer.as a doctor in a Chicago suburb in 188E
- combining his practice with the operation
of a drug store - and the establishment ol
the original Abbott company, "The Abboti
Alkaloid Company". The book has been care-
fully researched and, as might- be expected
contains a wealth of interesting material on
the development of the ethical drug industry
