Book Description

Excerpt from A Compendium of Practical Medicine: For the Use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine In presenting this volume to the medical profession, it may not be improper to state the circumstances which led to the undertaking, and the design which it is intended to accomplish. The frequent requests on the part of medical students whom it has been my pleasure to instruct during the past few years, to prepare a compendium of practical medicine which shall' aid them in acquiring established facts, is the only apology I have to offer for its appearance.
