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

 a comprehensive survey of forensic medicine and toxicology in moderate compass. 

 This, it is believed, has not been done in any other recent work in English. Under 

 " Expert Evidence " not only is advice given to medical experts, but suggestions 

 are also made to attorneys as to the best methods of obtaining the desired infor- 

 mation from the witness. An interesting and important chapter is that on ' ' The 

 Destruction and Attempted Destruction of the Human Body by Fire and Chemi- 

 cals." 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 im- 

 portance. The responsibility of pharmacists in the compounding of prescriptions, 

 in the selling of poisons, in substituting drugs other than those prescribed, etc. , 

 furnishes a chapter of the greatest interest to every one concerned with questions 

 of medical jurisprudence. 



OPINIONS OF THE MEDICAL PRESS 



Medical News, New York 



" It not only fills a need from the standpoint of timeliness, but it also sets a standard 01 

 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 all 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 standard text-book on Legal Medicine and Toxicology."
