This is a thoroughly revised, updated and enlarged edition of the popular student-friendly textbook on the subject. Now in full colour, with the addition of a large number of colour pictures and introduction of new literature on the concerned law as well as toxic agents, it is the favourite textbook for MBBS students, as well as a handy reference for the professionals in FMT.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
