The familiar and popular "Physician's Handbook," now in its sixth edition, is presented with a new format and a completely new set of author-editors. The contents have been arranged in a handier and more logical sequence, and the black-tabbed rapid index makes the various chapters more easily accessible. Additional sections on the theory and use of the electrocardiogram and the radioisotopes are included, and information on the newer antibiotics has been added to the sections on therapy.
