✦ Synopsis
William Heinemann. 25s. net. A MOST careful and exhaustive treatise upon the subject by the well-known authors of the treatise on fibrositis. It well deserves a place in the library of every medical nian who is engaged in Workmen's Compensation practice. After introductory chapters dealing with the hstory, legal aspects, psychology, and diagnosis of malingering, the subject is considered in relation to diseases of the nervous system, internal diseases, accidental injuries, infections, and hernia, and it concludes with a section dealing with measures for the restriction of malingering. From a surgical point of view the articles on sprained back and allied conditions, and those on the injuries of the joints, are the most valuable. The whole work is marked by wealth of detail, a high degree of critical judgement, and scholarly finish, and it will prove a most valuable work of reference.
