Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Intended primarily for use on ships where no doctor is carried and it is necessary for laymen to assess and treat injuries and to diagnose and treat ill health. The guide can also be recommended for use in other situations where professional medical advice is not readily available, for example on expeditions. This edition has been comprehensively reviewed and updated, and covers a wide range of authoritative advice. The recommended measures for prevention and treatment can be safely carried out by an intelligent layman.
