The Advancement of Medicine

Abstract

IT is a healthy and most welcome sign of the increased interest taken in pathological research that, at the conclusion of what is but the first year of its existence, the laboratory instituted by the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh has been able to issue a volume of Reports of such importance as the one lying before us. When, further, it is noted that this is, if we mistake not, the first volume of its kind published in the United Kingdom—the first collection of papers emanating from a single laboratory, and treating of pathology alone—then the energy that is being displayed north of the Tweed in the advancement of medicine by research should gain the cordial appreciation it well deserves.

Reports from the Laboratory of the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh.

Edited by J. Batty Tuke G. Sims Woodhead Vol. I. (Edinburgh and London: Young J. Pentland, 1889.)
