Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual of Medicine
Advantage has been taken Of the demand for a new edition Of this Manual to subject the book to a thorough revision from beginning to end, SO as to bring it into line anew with the most recent sound teaching. A good deal Of additional matter has been introduced, with the result that the new edition is some what larger than its predecessor. This is due partly to ad vances in medical science, which have necessitated fresh articles on such subjects as tropical splenomegaly, trypanosomiasis, and piroplasmosis, and partly to'the desire to make the book a still more complete practical guide to the junior practitioner as well as to the student. Two additional illustrations have been introduced, and the figure showing the cortical centres on the lateral aspect Of the hemisphere has been redrawn, so as to represent the most recently accepted teaching.
I am indebted to my colleague, Professor Alex. Macphail, for a considerable number Of the illustrations, including all those in colour; to Dr. John W. Findlay for the first reading and part Of the second reading Of the proofs; and to Dr. Findlay and other kind friends for invaluable assistance with the index.
