About This Item
Oxford: at the Clarendon Press, 1962 8vo (22 cm), XVI, 856 pp, 21 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (price clipped). "The advances made in the field of medicine in recent years have necessitated a complete revision of this work, first published thirty years ago; this has been done by Dr. Underwood with Professor Singer’s detailed approval and co-operation. This edition is virtually a new book. Among the sections which are new or entirely re-written are those dealing with medicine as practiced by the ancient Egyptians and Syrians, certain aspects of medieval medicine, the rise of physiology, tropical medicine, insanity, metabolism, the vitamins, dentistry, drugs, and the statistical and arithmetical aspects of medicine. The illustrations have been completely revised, and the work now includes half-tone plates." (from the blurb)
