D., Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston. Octavo of 764 pages, illustrated. Cloth, $5.50 net. THE NEW (2d) EDITION EIGHT LARGE PRINTINGS Dr. Cabot’s work takes up diagnosis from the point of view of thz presenting symptom—the symptom in any disease which holds the foreground in the clinical picture : the principal complaint.
