THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON PRESS, LTD.

have pleasure in announcing the publication of the following series which covers the whole field of War Medicine and Surgery

MILITARY MEDICAL MANUALS.

A Series of handy and profusely illustrated manuals translated from the French under the general Editorship of

SIR ALFRED KEOGH, G.C.B., LL.D., M.D., F.R.C.P., Hon. F.R.C.S. Late Director-General Army Medical Service AND Lt.-Gen. T. H. J. G. GOODWIN C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O. Director-General Army Medical Service

Each translation has been made by a practised hand and is edited by a specialist in the branch of surgery or medicine covered by the volume. It was felt to be a matter of urgent necessity to place in the hands of the medical profession a record of the new work and new discoveries which the war has produced, and to provide for everyday use a series of brief and handy monographs of a practical nature. The present series is the result of this aim. Each monograph covers one of the many questions at present of surpassing interest to the medical world, is written by a specialist who has himself been in close touch with the progress which he records in the medicine and surgery of the war. Each volume of the series is complete in itself, while the whole will form a comprehensive picture of the medicine and surgery of the Great War.
