SKIN

 Special Reference to the Skin Eruptions of Children. 



By H. RADCLIFFE CROCKER, M.D. 



< Physician to the Department of Skin Diseases, University College Hospital, London 



MESSRS. P. BLAKISTON'S SON & Co. take pleasure in announcing the 

 publication of the new third revised edition of Diseases of the Skin, by 

 Dr. H. Radcliffe Crocker. This announcement, coming at a time when 

 recent progress in dermatology makes an authoritative work upon the subject a 

 positive necessity, is considered of special importance by the publishers, and it is 

 believed the same view will be taken by the profession. Crocker on the Skin is 

 a book built entirely upon superior merit. It has been acknowledged by the 

 American medical press as " the best text-book in the English language." The 

 new third edition maintains this high standard of excellence. 



It is a safe, accurate, eminently practical and strictly modern treatise, well 

 and clearly written by a man of large experience and most excellent judgment. 

 Though completely scientific, it is written in such a happy manner that the tyro 

 may follow the writer almost as readily as the expert on diseases of the skin. It 

 will be seen, therefore, that it appeals to general practitioners as well as specialists, 

 while to the student it will serve as a valuable guide when he enters upon the 

 more arduous task of practice. 



The etiology, symptomatology, pathology and minute anatomy, constitutional 

 conditions, diagnosis and treatment of each disease mentioned is fully entered 

 upon, the therapeutics, dietetics, and general regimen coming in also for their 

 due share of attention, great strength in the accuracy of statement and method 

 and clearness of definition and differentiation being shown. The newer remedies 

 and bacteriological researches, in their bearing upon dermatology, are carefully 

 noted ; and particular attention is paid to eruptions as they occur in childhood. 

 This latter feature is one usually much neglected in general text-books, and its 

 value is the greater from the known practical and extensive experience which the 

 author has had in this field. 



The book proves Dr. Crocker to be closely in touch with the work and 

 teachings of modern dermatology ; and he has sifted from the vast accumulations 

 of recent literature the facts and opinions which have a definite value and are 

 worthy of permanent record. The illustrations, too, showing as they do the 

 morbid conditions of the different structures affected in diseases of the skin, are 

 a not unimportant feature. 



Many valuable additions to the text are noted in the new third edition of 

 this standard work. The whole book has been systematically gone over and 

 numerous changes made where recent progress in dermatology and a more exact 

 knowledge of the subject has dictated. The result is a work every page of which 

 bears the impress of honesty, thoroughness, and large personal experience. 



Third Edition, Thoroughly Revised, with New Illustrations. Octavo ; 1400 pages. 

 Cloth, $5.00 ; Leather, $6.00.
