From the rear cover

"The most important theoretical text in the huge corpus of traditional Chinese medical literature."--Science

"Veith has created a charming, yet scholarly work; her detailed, solidly documented early chapters provide insight that makes reading the dialogues rewarding and meaningful. All else that is needed is a comfortable chair and a few quiet hours."--Archives of Internal Medicine

"This classic is a work of the greatest significance for the general reader interested in sinological matters as well as for physicians. . . . It provides insight into the nature of the Chinese civilization and an aspect of the modern problems of that civilization. . . . This is a beautiful book."--California Medicine
