Abstract: Attractive features of the book are its simple layout and the various practical tips on diagnosis and management, some of them very useful.On the whole the book follows a conventional plan although there is no attempt to explain to the student how to examine the nervous system, a subject which Dr Sutherland, quite rightly, regards as too important to be compressed into the introductory chapters of a short textbook.The lack of illustrations is perhaps a fault but it is clear that it is intended that the book should be a summary.However, most students find illustrations particularly useful in understanding difficult points.Although in many ways satisfactory it is doubtful whether this volume will supersede the better known textbooks in the United Kingdom.
