Grant's Method of Anatomy: By Regions Descriptive and Deductive

AMONG -t he many pocket-sized references tor the medical student and practitioner, this one deserves serious consideration from the prospective buyer. Its author is highlY qualified and has several larger works to his credit. The size Is convenient, and it has the virtue of a hard cover; the print is clear and large, and there Is an adequate Index. In the scant 200 pages, Dr. Beaumont has managed to be remarkably comprehensive, almost every con~ition likely ever to concern the medical practitioner receivmg at least a mention. There is an excellent summary of sedative drugs and a metric conversion table, and, to bring the fifth edition Into line with modern demands, all dosages are given In the metric system. The fifth edition Is f~rther distinguished by the revision of the text, the brlngmg. up to date of the anatomical nomenclature and the placing of the collagen diseases in a separate chapter.
