This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, edges, and spine of the cover boards. There is some bumping and fraying on the cover boards. The previous owner's stamp is affixed to the first page, the title page, and also, on the top edges. The pages are yellowing and tanning, but the pages are clear of any markings.

"The correct diagnosis of poisonings or of toxic conditions has become increasingly more important. It is not only essential for the prompt and effective treatment of the patient, but in addition it may have other far-reaching consequences. It may be of forensic importance and lead to the detection of a crime, or it may be instrumental in improving inadequate sanitary conditions and thus prevent later cases of a similar nature. The prompt recognition of a toxic condition which is due to the occupational environment may be of considerable economic importance for the patient in that in these cases the treatment of his illness and the resulting loss of gainful activity may be paid for through compensation by state and private insurance agencies...." - Chapter One from Poisoning
