Fever,  Septicemia,  Shock,  Suppuration,  Ulcers,  Uremia,  Variola  and 
Wounds.  The  text  of  many  other  articles  has  been  expanded  by 
the  incorporation  of  more  than  two  hundred  items  from  current 
medical  literature  and  from  the  author's  personal  experience  in 
practice.  The  articles  on  Poisoning,  on  Temperature  in  Disease, 
and  on  the  Clinical  Examination  of  the  Urine  have  been  transferred 
to  this  part  of  the  book  from  the  Appendix,  in  the  belief  that  they 
will  be  more  frequently  consulted  when  found  in  their  alphabetical 
order  in  the  section  on  Therapeutics.

physicians  and  will  be  found  also  a  valuable  reference  book  by 
pharmacists  and  dentists  as  well.
