This little book is an excellent review of current literature relative to the physiology and diseases of muscles as opposed to neural structures. It contains very well-condensed accounts of each of the well-described diseases of muscle with a sufficient consideration of what is known of their physiologies to be a guide to treatment.
For persons interested in the study of muscle physiology and diseases a full bibliography follows each chapter and forms a very valuable contribution.
The first chapter on the physiology of muscle is by R. G. Williams and the description of the diseases and their treatments by Dr. Murphy.
