✦ Synopsis

sixty-one well-known American surgeons who have made these branches of surgery their special field.

The book is profusely illustrated with excellent drawings, radiographs, and photomicrographs.

As one would expect with two such expert endoscopists, that section of the book which deals with peroral endoscopy is superbly written and illustrated. The name Chevalier Jackson carries the same respect in England as it does in America in things pertaining to diseases of the ear, nose, and throat.

Like the previous edition, this is an outstanding work and every medical library should have a copy for ready reference.
