Common-Sense about Medicine
January 11, 1917 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "A Layman's Handbook of Medicine, With Special Reference to Social Workers," by Richard C. Cabot. The volume is very satisfactory, not only as a practical survey of medicine, but also as a discussion of many of the fascinating problems of internal medicine. Statements are made concisely concerning known facts, and there is no attempt to set up theories or explanations on insufficient data. Fad and fancy in medicine are swept aside. The book opens with a condensation in forty-five pages of the essential facts of anatomy and physiology told in very simple language.
