Abstract
THIS is a very delightful book. None of the natural sciences has greater wonders to tell than medical science; none touches more nearly our admiration of good work slowly brought to success. Dr. Willmott Evans is an excellent interpreter; he understands the art of freeing the wonder of the discovery itself from the wrappings of long words put round it by the doctors; he makes the reader feel the intense human significance of the many facts on which the present fabric of medicine and surgery is founded and built; and his book ought to be very widely read and remembered.
