The alphabetical arrangement of the diseases and a thumb-letter index render reference rapid and easy.
As a student, the physician needs it for study, collateral reading, and, for recording the favorite prescriptions of his professors, in lecture and clinic; as a recent graduate, he needs it as a reference hand-book for daily use in prescribing; as an old practitioner, he needs it to refresh his memory on old remedies and combinations, and for information concerning newer remedies and more modern approved plans of treatment.
No live, progressive medical man can afford to be without it.
