This is a portion of an encyclopedia of clinical medicine compiled by Langstein, VON Noorden and Schittenhelm. It is typically German in its thoroughness. If one desires a reference book wherein one may find a consideration of all treatments ever recommended for any gastric condition, this work fills the requirement. It is complete. For any other purpose, however, such a compilation is of little value. The treatment of gastric disorders is neither as complicated nor as difficult as this volume would indicate. The known facts of gastric therapy as related to recognizable gastric disease could be given in fewer pages.
