those which Keats experienced reproduce
es one of Keats poems
1t is in this connection that Kipling puts
hLmSelf on record as an literary critic
when he says:
my throat dried, but dared not gulp
to moisten it lest l should break the spell
that was drawing him nearer and nearer
to the high water mark but two of the

pany, New York and London.
This little volume supplies in brief form
ali practical facts connected with the
study, diagnosis, technique and the med
ico-legal aspect of a postmortem examina-
ton. To the physician the advantage of
the book is apparent. The suddenness of
a call to make a postmortem examination
leaves little time for him to post himself
on the subject 1t Is d as wei
medical library for reference. BY reason
Of it's size, DR.. Schmitt's little manual
can always be slipped into the pocket to

the physician protection from law. 1t is
of great value when he makes a section
and again when he reports upon the case
1t prepares him to give testimony, and
so saves him from the badgering Of attor-
neys and the criticism of the general pub
lie.
On the other hand, it assists the attor-
ney in cross examination, especially upon
the points as to whether the poSt-mortem
was conducted according to law and
whether the diagnosis was correct.

course the plot-what there is of it's
