“Will be found very useful reading. It will be especially valuable to those who have any family predisposition to skin disease, as there are given a number of very useful hints concerning the preservation of the skin in a healthy condition. There are also contained many good suggestions for keeping school-children free from skin diseases of an infectious or contagious nature. We recommend Dr. Hardwicke’s production as a very cheap and useful treatise.”—_Family Doctor._ “Throws considerable light upon diseases of the skin, and points out the general laws of health which should be observed to prevent such diseases manifesting themselves.”—_Lincolnshire Chronicle._ “This recognised authority on skin diseases has produced a tractate which appears to be the condensation and essence of much observation and practical experience.”—_Sussex County Herald._ “Anyone may understand the treatise, and there is much in it that will tend to correct many mistakes on the subject treated upon.”—_Eastbourne Gazette._ (Remainders only from the Author.) * * * * * Transcriber's Notes Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected.
