Abstract
THIS encyclopaedic work, which forms a valuable addition to dermatological literature, is divided into two unequal parts. The first, which is entitled “Dictionary of Ingredients”, contains separate descriptions of the official drugs of the United States Pharmacopoeia and of the unofficial drugs used in the treatment of skin diseases. The second part, which forms the bulk of the work and is devoted to practical cosmetic dermatology, consists of fifty-four chapters in alphabetical order (acne-vitamins) containing an account of various skin diseases and modes of treatment. There are three appendixes dealing respectively with cosmetic colours, perfumery and weights and measures.
