Management Of Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus , by Howard S. Traisman, M.D., ed. 2, St. Louis, Missouri: C. V. Mosby Company, 1971, 223 pp., $19.75

Dr. Traisman assumes complete responsibility for the second edition of this book; the first edition with Dr. Newcomb as co-author was published in 1965. About 70 pages have been added because of the inclusion of a few new chapters; these deal with the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, transplantation of the pancreas for this disease, the psychologic aspects of diabetes, and with hypoglycemia. The latter two chapters are most welcome in this day and age when medical progress is helping to prolong the lives of juvenile diabetics.
