In setting out the common tendencies to specific deformity on pages 38 and 39, the attributing of cacaneovalgus to failure of the evertors must be a typographical error for "invertors". There is a valuable chapter on respiratory complications, but no mention is made of the valuable procedure of training the patient in glosso-pharyngeal breathing. It is good to see stressed the following points: the necessity for the supervising doctor to do his own muscle testing, without throwing all the responsibility on the physiotherapist; the minimal use of splinting; the fact that by 12 months, 93% to 95% of recovery has taken place, and that "the eventual power of any paretic muscle can be deduced, at any point in its course, even as early as the first month, with fair accuracy"; and finally, that' we must not be so fearful, as is taught, of tiring a recovering muscle. In summary, this is a good, practical and easily read book.
