About This Book

A comprehensive handbook that defines medical jurisprudence and divides it into forensic medicine and medical police, explaining how medical knowledge applies to legal proceedings and public health policy. It treats institutional roles (physicians, surgeons, apothecaries) and practitioner liabilities, then addresses public health topics such as burial, quarantine, contagion, and mortality statistics. The forensic section covers medical evidence in cases of marriage, legitimacy, impotence, sterility, and childbirth, with physiological illustrations on conception, gestation, delivery, and the medical signs used to determine recent parturition and related medico-legal questions.
