"The whole field of medicine has been well covered. The work is thoroughly prac tical, and while it is intended for practitioners and students, it is a better book for the general practitioner than for the student.

"It is difficult to know which to admire most-the research and industry of the distinguished band of experts whom Dr. Gould has enlisted in the service of the Year-Book, or the wealth and abundance of the contributions to every department of science that have been deemed worthy of analysis. . . .
