DISEASES OF THE SKIN (A TREATISE ON), iTH Special RErBRENCE to Diagnosis and Treatment, including an Analysis op 11,000 Consecutive Cases. By T. M'CALL ANDERSON, M.D., Professor of Clinical Medicine, University of Glasgow. T]ie want of a manual embodying the most recent advances in the treatment of cutaneous affections has made itself much felt of late years. Professor M'Call Anderson’s Treatise, therefore, affording, as it does, a complete rdsum6 of the best modern practice, will be doubly welcome. It is written—not from the standpoint of the University Professor—but from that of one who, during upwards of a quarter of a century, has been actively engaged both in private and in hospital practice, with unusual opportunities for studying this class of disease, hence the pr.ICTICAL and CLINICAL direc- tions given are of great value. Speaking of the practical aspects of Dr Anderson’s work, the British Medical Journal says :—“ Skin diseases are, as is well known, obstinate and troublesome, and the knowledge that there are additional resources besides those in ordinary use will give confidence to many a puzzled medical man, and enable him to encourage a doubting patient. Almost ANY PAGE MIGHT BE USED TO ILLUSTRATE THE FULNESS OF THE WORK IN THIS RESPECT. . . . The chapter on Eczema, that universal and most troublesome ailment, describes in a comprehensive spirit, and with the greatest accuracy of detail, the various methods of treatment. Dr Anderson writes with the authority of a man who has tried the remedies which he discusses, and the information and advice which he gives cannot fail to prove extremely valuable.” Opinions of the Press. “Beyond doubt, the most impoiitant work on Skin Diseases that has appeared in England for many years. . . . Conspicuous for the amount and excellence of the clinical and practical information which it contains.—British Medical Journal. “Professor M'Call Anderson has produced a work likely to prove very acceptable to the busy practitioner. The sections on treatment are very full. For example. Eczema has 110 pages given to it, and 73 of these pages are devoted to treatment.”—Lancet.
