I know that many physicians are already in the habit of suggesting the reading of certain books to their patients as an aid to cure, but as yet I have not been able to find where any one has systematically collated this form of literature for use in a therapeutic way. It is not my purpose by any means to attempt to name all the books which are used, or might be used, but I have selected only those with which I have become acquainted, and which have proved of value to me in my professional work. These books I regard as a part of my therapeutic armamentarium.
