A Textbook of Medicine

edited by RUSSELL L. CECIL, M.D., Sc.D., Professor of Clinical Medicine Emeritus, Cornell University, New York and ROBERT F. LOEB, M.D., Sc.D., D. Hon. Causa, LL.D., Bard Professor of Medicine, Columbia University, New York. Associate Editors: ALEXANDER B. GUTMAN, WALSH McDERMOTT AND HAROLD G. WOLFF. Ninth Edition: 1,786 pp., illustrated, with many in color. Philadelphia, London: W. B. Saunders Company, 1955, $15.00

The ninth edition of this standard Textbook of Medicine can be highly recommended. For those who do not have one of the later editions and who wish to remain familiar with advances in the field of Internal Medicine, this latest volume is essential. In recent years so much new information has become available that even such a complete text as this can do no more than "hit the high spots," especially where the less common clinical conditions are concerned. This edition, however, maintains a good balance in coverage of material, yet gives adequate attention to all but the most esoteric conditions. The key references at the end of each article will prove helpful to the reader. The reviewer was pleased to note that almost every list contained at least one recent reference article, which indicates that the authors must have been revising their copy until the moment the book went to press.
