The articles are not written as though addressed to students in lectures, but are 

 exhaustive descriptions of diseases, with the newest facts as regards Causation, 

 Symptomatology, Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Treatment, including a large number 

 of approved formulae. The recent advances made in the study of the bacterial 

 origin of various diseases are fully described, as well as the bearing of the know- 

 ledge so gained upon prevention and cure. The subjects of Bacteriology as a 

 whole and of Immunity are fully considered in a separate section. 



Methods of diagnosis are given the most minute and careful attention, thus 

 enabling the reader to learn the very latest methods of investigation without con- 

 sulting works specially devoted to the subject.

" We reviewed the first volume of this work, and said : ' It is undoubtedly one of the best text- 

 books on the practice of medicine which we possess.' A consideration of the second and last 

 volume leads us to modify that verdict and to say that the completed work is, in our opinion, the 

 BEST of its kind it has ever been our fortune to see. It is complete, thorough, accurate, and clear. 

 It is well written, well arranged, well printed, well illustrated, and well bound. It is a model of 

 what the modern text-book should be." New York Medical Journal. 



" A library upon modern medical art. The work must promote the wider diffusion of sound 

 knowledge." American Lancet. 



" A trusty counsellor for the practitioner or senior student, on which he may implicitly rely." 

 Edinburgh Medical Journal.
