Book Description

Excerpt from The Student's Guide to Medical Jurisprudence This little book has been compiled for the use students at the suggestion of the publishers. The freest use has been made of the standard works of Taylor, Tidy, Wharton and Stille, Casper (New Sydenham Society's translation), Ogston, Woodman and Tidy, and Guy and Ferrier, as also of Taylor on poisons and Winter Blyth on poisons. To those who have the means and leisure to study any of the above, such a work as this is not addressed, but it is believed that there are many within whose reach they never come. In dealing with the poisons the writer has purposely avoided all mention of the search for them in organic compounds, partly because such knowledge can only be really acquired in the laboratory, and partly because in everyday practice analyses of this nature are invariably conducted by an analyst who has devoted special attention to this particular subject. The writer can lay but little claim to originality, he has simply endeavoured to condense and group together, in a readily assimilable form, the chief facts belonging to the important subject of Medical Jurisprudence.
