Price's Textbook of Medicine

THERE are two types of textbook of medicine. The one deals primarily with principles and omits detail, while the other consists largely of factual information. Both types are necessary. Price's Textbook of Medicine falls into the latter category and is an excellent book of its type. The new edition is extensively rewritten and the new sections are in most cases a considerable improvement on those they replace. May I suggest for future editions that one to four selected references at the end of each sub-section would considerably enhance the usefulness of this book. G. M. B.
