We will not describe its symptom complexes, diagnosis, and treatment. On the contrary, we plan to investigate the hysterical reaction type as a psychological and neurophysiological problem, and, perhaps, will place it in a larger biological category. The often very interesting details on the physiology of the reflexes and vegetative nervous system will be touched upon only as briefly as the text will permit. We have attempted to correlate the most fundamental ideas in modern research on hysteria, especially those of Krapelin and Freud, with the results of our own observations.

In this same period, progress in the production and control of artificial light has been truly enormous. Since Gutenberg laid the foundation for printing, the efficiency of light-production has increased a hundredfold and more. However, knowledge of the relationship of light and vision, and of these to the countless tasks of seeing, did not keep pace with the increase in the demands upon eyesight and upon seeing.

From the back cover: The physical process of birth is no longer as mysterious as it once was. But many unanswered psychological questions about birth remain unanswered. In this remarkably appealing and personable book, Dr. Macfarlane takes a careful look at a large number of these psychological unknowns. Can a woman's emotional attitude toward pregnancy cause 'morning sickness,' influence the smoothness of labor and delivery, or shape the child's behavior after birth? Can the mother-child relationship be adversely affected by separation immediately after birth? Is the quality of the birth experience improved by home delivery? What are the psychological effects of pain-killing drugs on mother and child? What does the unborn infant see, hear, and feel inside the womb? Is birth a psychological trauma for the child? Although Macfarlane refuses to provide easy answers to such questions, his clear discussion of the available evidence has important consequences for the way in which we understand birth and manage it in our society. . more information

The section on Communicable Diseases has been made current; various subheadings have been expanded; and two entirely new chapters have been added, one on Industrial Hygiene and the other on Medical Care." From the Tennessee Historical Society: "HARRY STOLL MUSTARD, 1889-1966, Public health physician, author, and professor Harry S. Mustard became a national figure in the emerging field of public health in the early twentieth century through his work in Tennessee. Mustard was educated in his native state at the Medical College of South Carolina and the College of Charleston. He began his public health career with the U.S. Public Health Service in 1916 and was health officer for Preston County, West Virginia, in 1923. The Commonwealth Fund selected Mustard as director of its Child Health Demonstration in Rutherford County, Tennessee, from 1924 to 1928. He also served as the county's public health officer. Mustard's success in developing a rural public health program there led to his appointment as assistant to the state commissioner of health in 1929 and as assistant commissioner in 1930. He published the results of the Rutherford County demonstration in Cross-Sections of Rural Health Progress for the Commonwealth Fund in 1930. In 1932 Mustard joined the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University Medical School and then moved to the New York University College of Medicine in 1937. From 1940 to 1950, he directed the Columbia University School of Public Health, and held the DeLamar Professorship of Public Health Practice. Mustard wrote several texts, including An Introduction to Public Health (published in five editions from 1935 to 1969), Rural Health Practice (1936), and Government in Public Health (1945)." . more information
