According to the Foreword:
" It has been 93 years since THE MERCK MANUAL first appeared in 1899 as a slender
262-page text titled MERCK'S MANUAL OF THE MATERIA MEDICA.
It was expressly designed to meet the needs of general practitioners in selecting medications, noting that
"memory is dangerous" and that even the most thoroughly informed physician needs a
reminder "to make him at once master of the situation and enable him to prescribe exactly
what his judgment tells him is needed for the occasion." It was well received and, by the
6th Edition (1934), THE MERCK MANUAL has become highly valued by medical students
and house staff as well; by the end of World War II the pocket-sized manual was an
established favorite ready-reference book. Today THE MANUAL is the most widely used
medical text in the world. While the book has grown to about 2800 pages, its primary
purpose remains the same - to provide useful clinical information to practicing physicians,
medical students, interns, residents, and health care professionals. "
