4Preface
This Handbook of Medicine has been written primarily for students of MBBS, MD and the practicing doctors in the field of general medicine. It has covered all the areas and topics which fall under the spectrum of medicine in the syllabus of medical colleges. There has been a thorough study of the books in this field from which a summary has emerged relating to salient features and observable practice suggestions for doctors in medicine. I have left nothing uncovered with my vast experience and stansing. I feel that this handbook will provide a necessary supplement with existing textbooks for doctors and students. It will be an invaluable addition to medical libraries all over the country and is recommended highly for personal possession. With a distinguished publisher in the field of medicine and at a low price the book is indispensable for all.
