Abstract
ANY text-book of physics which seriously attempts to show the young medical student that a knowledge of physics is certain to be of real use to him in his future career certainly deserves to be brought to the attention of teachers of physics. The fifth edition of Lecher's text-book has been edited by Stefan Meyer and Egon Schweidler, whose names are sufficient guarantee of its excellence. It covers a rather wide range for an introductory course of physics, but the more advanced portions are dealt with quite briefly and may easily be assimilated. It is very well illustrated, and no pains have been spared to collect examples of the physical measurements necessary in physiological or medical practice.
