A System of Medicine: Volume Four is a collection of articles written on topics pertaining to the liver, pancreas, ductless glands, and kidneys. Each body part receives its own section within the text and is explored in great deal, from normal functionality to common and rare diseases. Dozens of authors have included articles in this collection, which highlights specific afflictions such as jaundice, congestion, infantilism, nephroptosis, adiposis dolorosa, and more. The book is sparsely illustrated, but does feature images of all of the major body parts discussed and a detailed index concludes the work.
