" This book is written for the busy practitioner, and is designed to help him in diagnosis. 

 Such a volume on its present scale is certainly a new departure in^medical literature, and should 

 serve a useful purpose. It contains a great deal of information, which has been carefully compiled 

 and admirably arranged for the purpose of easy reference. For the highly important purpose of 

 differential diagnosis it is certainly a much more rapid guide than the ordinary text-book.'
