A Pictorial History of Medicine

RICHARD H. SHRYOCK

Dr. Bettmann has at last provided us with a pictorial history of medicine which is comprehensive in scope, rich in its illustrations, and generally sound in its running commentaries. Anyone who will consider the difficulties inherent in each of these connections, will recognize the extraordinary nature of the achievement.

With regard to scope, the work covers the entire story of Western medicine from the Egyptian period to the end of the Nineteenth Century. Moreover, it includes the social and professional, as well as the scientific history. Since the text is secondary to the illustrations, rather than the reverse as in most histories, content is divided into units with appropriate headings.
