A Manual of Medicine

Abstract

THE third volume of Dr. Allchin's “Manual of Medicine” is well up to the standard of its predecessors, in fact, if anything, may be regarded as rather exceeding it. Here, in 417 short pages, the student of medicine has at his command a complete and up-to-date book upon that ever-increasing domain of medicine, nervous disease. The difficulty of editing must in this volume almost have reached its maximum. When we come to consider the enormous mass of literature which has accumulated since even the publication of the last standard book upon this subject, we may perhaps appreciate the great difficulty of compressing our compendious knowledge upon nervous disease into what may, without forcing language, be called a manual. In these circumstances we can hardly expect theories to be discussed in extenso, or ample polemic justice to.be done to controversial matter. The book is filled with terse fact, and if its readability suffers somewhat on this account, its value to the student is proportionally increased.

A Manual of Medicine.
