Arthritis, Fibrositis and Gout: A Handbook for the General Practitioner

The literature on rheumatic diseases is enormous; yet the whole subject seems to be shrouded in a fog, while treatment furnishes the most lucrative field for quackery of every kind. The differentiation and nomenclature of the conditions commonly grouped together under the designation ' rheumatic' still furnishes the ground for differences of opinion which only bewilder a general practitioner. Dr. Buckley should be congratulated for bringing oul this little book which is very complete, practical and readable. It dispenses with the historical and controversial matter as far as possible, and gives a clear and concise picture of the various disabling conditions of articular origin with reference to aetiology, pathology, clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment.
