Considered one of the best of the single-volume histories of medicine.

Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of Medicine: With Medical Chronology, Bibliographic Data and Test Questions The Test Questions at the end have not been inserted with any pedagogic designs upon the reader; but it is hoped that they may be of use as a means of refreshing the memory, in following up interesting subjects, in setting themes for students, or in quiz zing them. It would be idle or pedantic to suppose that one in dividual reader could be interested in all the points raised. Any one who has had much to do with medical proof-reading might multiply such questions indefinitely. In this instance, they have been carried somewhat beyond the solemn number, one hundred.
