'The Injured Workman' was written to advise the legal or medical practitioner on the implications of accidents to workmen and related claims under the Workmen's Compensation Acts. As well as throwing an interesting light on both social history and medical practice in the decades before the founding of the National Health Service and the creation of the welfare state, it also includes much practical information on the treatment and possible outcomes of work-related injuries and of some industrial diseases. A rare 1st edition in good condition.
