 This book is designed especially to meet the needs of those whc 

 have to treat the commoner skin diseases. While giving shor 

 descriptions of the rarer forms, the chief attention is bestowed 01 

 those more frequently met with. The diagnostic features of thi 

 various eruptions are dealt with in detail, in order that they ma^ 

 give help in determining the lines of treatment. The more recen 

 work in clinical pathology, both microscopical and chemical, is foi 

 the first time brought into use in an English text-book. The bool 

 is freely illustrated with original photographs.
