Abstract
THE enjoyment with which many readers of the London Hospital Gazette have perused Dr. Ernest Ward's articles will be shared by all who read his book “Medical Adventure”. Written with a literary ability rarely found in medical men, every chapter reveals the author's powers of observing and recording, and, when in lighter vein, his keen sense of humour. His accounts of difficult and amusing situations, of cases common and uncommon, of successes and failures, give a really unique description of a general practitioner's work. His reflections on many problems are most instructive, but are offered with unassuming modesty. To the young practitioner especially this book will prove of great value; from it he will learn lessons as readily as if he had himself experienced Dr. Ward's adventures.
