Excerpt from A Text-Book of Legal Medicine
This volume is prepared and published, primarily, as a help to medical students interested in Legal Medicine, but it is adapted as well to the needs of practitioners who wish to have the latest advances in Medical Jurisprudence at their service.

The departments of Toxicology and of the Mcdico-legal Relations of Psychiatry have been purposely omitted from the volume, inasmuch as they have acquired an importance deserving, in each instance, independent treatment by specialists.
