Description

Excerpt from A Pocket Medical Dictionary: Giving the Pronunciation and Definition of the Principal Words Used in Medicine and the Collateral Sciences The changes in Medical Science, says the Brit ish Medical Journa are so rapid that it is impos sible for the most determined reader of the scien tific pemmican supplied by the journals to keep pace with them. Each step in advance entails a corre sponding enlargement of medical terminology. This necessary evil is aggravated by the new words which many find needful to express their peculiar ideas. From these causes comes the ever-increas ing output of medical dictionaries in recent years. The number of new editions of these that is called for at short intervals shows the keenness of the de mand. That, despite this lively rivalry, over copies of Gould's medical dictionaries have been bought by the profession is a proof that the present edition of The Pocket Pronouncing Medical Dictionary is justified.
