Abstract
THIS most useful volume has now reached its twelfth edition, and extends to more than a thousand pages. The pages are small ones, but packed with information, and the paper is thin, so the volume still remains one of handy size. The book is more than its name indicates; it not only includes remedial agents which have been introduced up till now into medical practice, but contains a great deal of inform ation regarding recent research in disease. For instance, we find an excellent summary of the present state of the cancer question, the newest methods of bacteriological investigation, and a concise statement of modern views on toxins and antitoxins, serum therapy, opsonins, and the like. No busy practitioner can afford to do without such a convenient and trustworthy vade mecum.
