This is the seventh of this series and, as usual, contains informative material on a variety of subjects.
James Alexander Miller gives the interesting story of tuberculosis but avoids mention of any psychosomatic aspects. Tracy Putnam, in Brain and Mind, examines the 'conscious automaton' theory to find it wanting and gently urges new orientations.

Other titles by eminent authorities are, The Freudian Epoch, The History of B-Vitamins and Knowledge of Nutrition.
