The object of the present work is to give to the medical and legal profes- 

 sions a comprehensive survey of forensic medicine and toxicology in moderate 

 compass. An interesting and important chapter is that on " The Destruction 

 and Attempted Destruction of the Human Body by P'ire and Chemicals." A 

 chapter not usually found in works on legal medicine is that on "The 

 Medicolegal Relations of the X-Rays." This section will be found of unusual 

 importance. The responsibility of pharmacists in the compounding of pre- 

 scriptions, in the selling of poisons, in substituting drugs other than those 

 prescribed, etc., furnishes a chapter of the greatest interest. Also included in 

 the work is the enumeration of the laws of the various states relating to the 

 commitment and retention of the insane. 



OPINIONS OF THE MEDICAL PRESS 



MedicaJ News, New York 



" It not only fills a need from the standpoint of timeliness, but it also sets a standard 

 of what a text-book on Legal Medicine and Toxicology should be." 



Columbia Law Review 



" For practitioners in criminal law and for those in medicine who are called upon to give 

 court testimony in any of its various forms ... it is extremely valuable." 



Pennsylvania Medical Journal 



" If the excellence of this volume is equaled by the second, the work will easily take 

 rank as the standing text-book on Legal Medicine and Toxicology."
