The material of this volume, subtitled "A Contemporary Analysis of Illness Produced by Drugs and Other Therapeutic Procedures," first appeared in print as one of the series, Medical Progress, in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1956. Dr. Moser then expanded it into a monograph published in 1959. Now, he has enlisted the collaboration of twelve of his specialist colleagues in the Army Medical Corps to produce a greatly enlarged treatise.
The book retains the format of the Medical Progress article.
