Abstract
THE editors are to be congratulated on the choice of the twenty contributors to this volume, which consists of two parts, the first dealing with clinical diagnosis and the second with laboratory and special diagnosis. With the exception of an article specially written for the book by Dr. C. J. C. Britton on the technique of simple blood examinations and methods for collection of blood, all the contributions have previously appeared in the Practitioner, but have been revised and brought up to date. Although the work covers a wide range of subjects including neurology, dermatology, cardiology, paediatics, gastro-intestinal disease, diabetes and chronic rheumatism, it makes no claim to discuss the whole field of medicine, but deals only with those subjects in which diagnosis is most difficult.
