Abstract
THE lectureship which was founded by the late Dr. Goulston is annually awarded to one of the newly elected fellows of the Royal College of Physicians, and so forms a channel by means of which a junior member of the medical profession may make what has often proved to be the first of a valuable series of additions to physiological and pathological progress. Dr. Hertz, however, to whom the honour was awarded this year, is already well known to his medical brethren, and has published many papers on various subjects, as well as a book on constipation. It is to him and his colleagues at Guy's Hospital that we owe the work by means of which the X-ray method has been rendered an aid in medical, as it had been previously shown to be in surgical, cases, and during recent months allusions have been made in these columns to the value of such research in elucidating the disorders of the alimentary canal.
The Goulstonian Lectures on the Sensibility of the Alimentary Canal. Delivered at the Royal College of Physicians on March 14, 16, and 21, 1911.
By Dr. Arthur F. Hertz. Pp. v + 80. (London: Henry Frowde and Hodder and Stoughton, 1911.) Price 5s. net.
