Professor M’Call Anderson’s Treatise, affording, as it does, a complete résumé of the best modern practice, is written—not from the standpoint of the University Professor—but from that of one who, during upwards of a quarter of a century, has been actively engaged both in private and in hospital practice, with unusual opportunities for studying this class of disease, hence the PRACTICAL and CLINICAL directions given are of great value.
Speaking of the practical aspects of Dr. Anderson’s work, the British Medical Journal says:—“Skin diseases are, as is well known, obstinate and troublesome, and the knowledge that there are ADDITIONAL RESOURCES besides those in ordinary use will give confidence to many a puzzled medical man, and enable him to encourage a doubting patient. Almost any page might be used to illustrate the fulness of the work in this respect. . . . The chapter on Eczema, that universal and most troublesome ailment, describes in a comprehensive spirit, and with the greatest accuracy of detail, the various methods of treatment. Dr. Anderson writes with the authority of a man who has tried the remedies which he discusses, and the information and advice which he gives cannot fail to prove extremely valuable.”
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
“Professor M’Call Anderson has produced a work likely to prove VERY ACCEPTABLE to the busy practitioner. The sections on treatment are very full. For example, Eczema has 110 pages given to it, and 73 of these pages are devoted to treatment.”—Lancet.
“Beyond doubt, the MOST IMPORTANT WORK on Skin Diseases that has appeared in England for many years. . . . Conspicuous for the AMOUNT AND EXCELLENCE of the CLINICAL AND PRACTICAL information which it contains.”—British Medical Journal.
“The work may be regarded as a storehouse of FACTS gathered and sifted by one whose opinion is entitled to the highest respect, and we have no hesitation in stating our belief that it has NO EQUAL in this country.”—Edinburgh Medical Journal.
“Essentially a useful book, clear and graphic in description, dogmatic and hopeful on questions of treatment.”—Birmingham Medical Review.
