If less than a certain amount of intestine is left, inanition follows with intractable diarrhea. Gobiet was resected 320 cm with success. Trotter cites a paper by Flint on extensive bowel resections. Flint collected 59 cases, with two meters or more removed in all but one case, and 50 of the 59 patients recovered. # Book Reviews The Interpretation of Dreams. By Prof. Dr. Sigmund Freud. Authorized Translation of Third Edition by A. Brill, M.D. Pp. xiii, 510. London: George Allen & Co. Ltd. 1913. 15s. net. This new work by Freud demonstrates his remarkable ability in psychological analysis and has greatly increased our understanding of dreams, their exciting and determining factors, meaning, and relationships. However, we believe the author goes too far in analysis and suggestion, assuming too much from the results. The inference of a sexual origin in nearly all cases is not warranted, although such cases may attract specialists. The book is too long and complex to summarize fully here. The main assumption is that repressed desires and fears find expression in dreams, modified by the "censor," which remains active even during sleep. Dreams thus appear in symbolic form, requiring known interpretation methods for recognition. Dreams may have a double meaning: a manifest, immediately evident, and a latent, revealed through analysis. The latter process involves known association-revival methods perfected by Freud and Jung. Dream analysis serves the same purpose as psycho-analysis in the waking state. The book contains definite rules for constructing, manifesting, and correctly interpreting dreams.If less than a certain amount of intestine is left, inanition follows with intractable diarrhea.
