Abstract
DR. ERNEST WARD'S second book on the joys and troubles of general practice is as entertaining as his former “Medical Adventure”, in which were described clinical, obstetric, and pathological experiences. The present volume is devoted to the other side of a practitioner's life, and covers a wide range of subjects, from where and how to secure a practice, to when and whom to marry. The chapters on the arrangement of the day's work, and the attitude of the doctor to his patients, his colleagues, and unorthodox treatment, are particularly good. The author disclaims any intention of giving advice, but every page contains the equivalent of years of experience. The book is sure to be of interest to every medical man.
