MEDICAL EDUCATION AND PRACTICE
IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.

“This book contains a fund of information.... The whole is preceded by an introduction, which is worth the attention of all persons taking a broad interest in medical education.... Some weaknesses in home and foreign regulations are lightly passed over, and it may well be that such a mass of statement will, on experience, be found to be defective at points. But we accept it gratefully, as an attempt to supply a very great want, and we commend some of the reflections of the author on the defects of our own system to all whom it may concern.”—Lancet.

“Here the reader will find information respecting the educational bodies, examinations, and medical laws of every civilised state, and he will also come to the humiliating confession that though there exist a good many time-honoured institutions in the United States, and an anxiety to put matters on a scientific footing in others, yet farther south the condition of medicine is as bad as can possibly be imagined.’ ... But the authorities, and not Dr. Hardwicke, are responsible for this, and we cordially thank him for his decidedly useful addition to our knowledge of medical education in other countries.”—Medical Press and Circular.

“A good deal of information will be found in a useful book entitled, ‘Medical Education and Practice in all Parts of the World,’ by Dr. H. J. Hardwicke.”—British Medical Journal.

“A book which ought to cut the ground from beneath all bogus diploma-dealers.”—Medical Times and Gazette.

“This volume, extending to 202 pages, with double columns, really contains the information which the title-page promises. It must have cost the author a great amount of trouble. It is a useful guide for all entrants to the profession, those especially who contemplate settling in foreign parts. It will do good also indirectly by letting those schools whose education is defective see what other schools are doing, and so be the means of stimulating them to aim at higher things. To be informed, for example, that medical teaching in Japan is already treading on the heels of some of our British schools cannot fail to do good.”—Edinburgh Medical Journal.

“Dr. Hardwicke’s book will prove a valuable source of information to those who may desire to know the conditions upon which medical practice is or may be pursued in any or every country of the world, even to the remotest corners of the earth. The work has been compiled with great care, and must have required a vast amount of labour and perseverance on the part of its author.”—Dublin Medical Journal.

“This work supplies a want long felt.... The chief value of Dr. Hardwicke’s volume, to students, is in the information he gives concerning the rules of practice in other countries, and the possibilities opened up of making a livelihood in them.... To teachers the manual will be invaluable; it will not only inform them of usages abroad, but enable them to glean many useful hints to aid the conduct of their own classes here. We commend the work as a most admirable resumÉ of the state of medical education and practice in the world.”—Students’ Journal.

“This opportune and very useful work ... gives exact and in some instances complete information of the requirements, curriculum, &c. for obtaining a diploma in every part of the world.... Some idea of the labour undertaken by the author may be gathered from the fact that the index contains nearly five hundred references.... The book will be a mine of reference for medical legislators, and will doubtless colour the provisions of the new Medical Act so clamorously demanded in England, and of the Act to which we are about to commit ourselves here.”—Australian Medical Journal.

“A great deal of useful and convenient information is contained in this work in regard to the subjects of which it treats, and the information, as a rule, seems to be fairly accurate and reliable. The part devoted to the United States opens with the Philadelphia Record’s full account of the bogus traffic in that city. The position assigned to this narrative is, perhaps, unnecessarily prominent, but we do not think the exposure of those vile practices can be too minute or widely circulated. This diploma traffic, whether carried on in Pennsylvania, New York, or Massachusetts, was and is a disgrace to us, and we may as well acknowledge it.”—Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, U. S.

“The want of such a book has been long felt by all who take any interest in medical education, and is specially needed at the present time, when the attention of our government has been called to certain abuses, and it is about to introduce reforms. The book is a most exhaustive one, and deserving the attention of all who are in any way interested in the advancement of medical education and reform.”—American Specialist.

“This book, which extends to 202 closely-printed pages, with double columns, is undoubtedly the remarkably comprehensive treatise promised by the title. The labour of the undertaking must have been indeed great, and the author must possess a rare knowledge of his subject to be able to condense such a huge mass of information into a single volume of 202 pages. We can strongly recommend the work as being the only complete treatise on the subject. No portion of the whole world has been omitted, and the author is to be congratulated on the very satisfactory result of his eminently difficult task.”—Family Doctor.

“This work is a valuable manual, of interest not only to medical men, but also to the literary public, who evince at the present day so much enthusiasm in studying the intellectual condition of other nations, chiefly, no doubt, from magazine articles. Medical legislation is, as experience amply proves, one of the latest developments of civilisation.... Let us, for instance, glean from Dr. Hardwicke’s book facts as to the condition of medicine in some parts of the Spanish-American republics.... Let us turn to civilised countries where medical teachers keep step with ‘the march of intellect.’ ... We have still much to learn from Paris, Berlin, and Vienna, yet it is undeniable that the general social and intellectual position of the medical profession is as high in these islands as abroad, where technical education is in many respects better. It is by the young doctor, who finds the profession over stocked in his own country, that Dr. Hardwicke’s manual will be found particularly valuable.”—AthenÆum.

“Those who are about to engage in medical study will do well to consult Dr. Hardwicke’s ‘Medical Education and Practice,’ as an exact knowledge of the relative value of the innumerable medical qualifications would often prevent much after annoyance.”—Westminster Review.

“In this book, says the author, ‘will be contained the conditions under which a medical practitioner may practise his profession, and the requirements for the medical degree at the universities and medical corporations in almost all the civilised countries of the world.’ This promise is kept.... It contains much information not easily accessible, and likely to be useful.”—Chemist and Druggist.

HEALTH RESORTS AND SPAS OF EUROPE.

“We have never yet seen anything that quite equalled the delicious brevity of Dr. Hardwicke’s remarkably curt and incisive little hand-book. In the brief space of 184 pages he introduces us to all the health-resorts and spas of the entire eastern hemisphere, from England to Egypt, and from Madeira to St. Moritz. We are bound to admit that, so far as it is possible to test his information by the light of personal experience, his short paragraphs are thoroughly up to date, even as regards the smallest and most insignificant watering-places.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“Contains, in addition to chapters on the climatic and hygienic treatment of disease, and the properties and uses of various mineral waters, succinct accounts, in alphabetical order, of the different health-resorts and spas of Britain and of the continent of Europe. The exposure, the elevation, the range and limit of temperature, and other amenities of each watering-place, are briefly described; in many cases also an analysis is given of the constituents and properties of the various chalybeate and other springs. In short, a great mass of information, such as invalids are most in quest of, is found in condensed and handy form.”—Scotsman.

“Contains some valuable knowledge of the climatic treatment of diseases, of which all should avail themselves. The usefulness of such a book must appear evident to those who experience the power of climate over the human constitution. It should be bought and studied and will doubtless give beneficial advice.”—Brighton Gazette.

“Ought to be welcomed by the large number of invalids whose daily avocation, as the author justly remarks, consists almost entirely in battling against their formidable foes, ‘weather and insalubrity.’ Dr. Hardwicke has some highly useful observations on the different stages of consumption.... The chapter on the properties and uses of water is also full of excellent hints.... Spa life on the continent is graphically described.... A carefully compiled index greatly enhances the value of this work, which is not to be judged merely by its size.”—Liverpool Mercury.

“The author gives some very practical remarks on the properties and uses of water, hygienic ablutions and baths, and treats of mineral waters and spa life. Succeeding chapters give brief but evidently careful and authentic accounts of the leading health resorts and spas of Europe.”—Yorkshire Post.

“The introductory chapters on the treatment of disease by climate, the properties and uses of water, and on mineral waters and spa life, contain some valuable advice, which invalids will do well to take. Dr. Hardwicke’s work does really supply a want felt by many persons.”—Sheffield Independent.

“A great deal of information is conveyed, and the avoidance of technicalities will be an additional recommendation.”—Bristol Mirror.

“A very handy little manual ... stating clearly and concisely the advantages and disadvantages of the various health resorts and spas.”—Sussex Daily News.

“The ordinary reader will find this little volume far more interesting than is usually the case with books dealing with medicine or medical matters. The subject is one of very great importance, and the author deals with it in a way that will be fully appreciated by non-medical readers. He avoids technicalities, and places before us the salient points very clearly and concisely.”—Rotherham Advertiser.

“This little volume will be welcomed as a guide to the many health resorts in Europe.... The book should have a large demand, for it contains a great deal of information in a little space.”—Doncaster Gazette.

“Will be found very useful by everyone whose health requires either change of air or the use of mineral waters.”—Barnsley Independent.

“As a hand-book to any sufferer desirous of knowing in a general way which are the baths most likely to suit his particular complaint, this volume will be useful.”—Bradford Observer.

“Many useful hints may be derived from this little book, for which valetudinarians will be thankful.”—Christian World.
