For more than 100 years doctors have been coming to us for advice. Now you can, too.

With contributions from nearly 200 internationally respected medical experts, this fully revised edition offers vital, easy-to-understand information about almost every known medical issue, including:
• AIDS • cancer • eating, digestive, and nutrition disorders • heart disease • mental illness• pediatric care -- including a new chapter on early-childhood development• sexual dysfunction• terminal illness• viruses and infections
...and much more. Featuring original illustrations and diagrams, an A-Z listing of brand-name and generic drugs, and an appendix of medical resources, The Merck Manual -- Home Edition is published as a not-for-profit service by Merck, a world leader in breakthrough medical discoveries with a long commitment to making the world a healthier place.
