  The aim of PEARS MEDICAL ENCYCLOPAEDIA is to provide an essential reference book for good health in the home, and to encourage co-operation between patient and doctor. It is not intended to take the place of a doctor's professional care, but to provide the layman (and the student nurse or doctor) with scientific information and helpful advice. As a popular guide, in sickness and in health, it has been an invaluable standby in hundreds of thousands of homes for many years.
