This completely new unabridged medical dictionary has been compiled by a board of editors with the assistance of more than one hundred contributors, and is designed to be a comprehensive lexicon for all branches of medicine and allied sciences, including medical physics and chemistry, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, veterinary medicine, biology, botany and medico-legal terms. Pronunciation is indicated by a system of phonetic respelling with syllabification. The volume terminates with a series of twenty-two tables requiring 136 pages.
The circumstance that the work is a new entity, compiled by a large group of specialists in the respective fields covered, should guarantee that within its scope, the work is in the highest degree authoritative.
