“Although it is primarily no doubt intended for medical officers, yet
it embraces such a range of important information as must render it of
use to every branch of the service, and even to civilians who want a
book of the kind for handy reference. While he takes the official War
Office regulations and manuals to build upon, and freely lays under
tribute the regulations of every branch of the service, yet the result
is no mere dry compilation of Army Acts and Orders, but a book full of
original and collected matter of a most useful and interesting
character.... The modern army medical officer has no longer, like his
predecessor, to grope about for want of definite instructions; with
his new medical regulations in one pocket, and this volume in the
other, he can safely take up any duty. We heartily congratulate
Surgeon-Major Riordan on his really admirable book; and as his best
reward may he find it, where it deserves to be, in the hands of every
medical officer, whether of the regular or the auxiliary forces.”—_The
British Medical Journal._
“This useful volume is in the nature of a supplement to the War Office
Regulations upon which it is based. It fills in the details which they
necessarily lack, and elucidates and explains them; and it is,
moreover, a comprehensive handbook to all matters which affect the
physical well-being of the soldier.”—_Army and Navy Gazette._
