objective of all these reviews was to ensure accuracy, ade-
quate and relevant coverage of each subject, and simple and
clean exposition. The authors then reworked, modified, and
polished their manuscripts. Almost all of the manuscripts
were revised at least 6 times; 15 to 20 revisions were not un-
common. We believe that no other medical text undergoes
as many reviews and revisions as THE MERCK MANUAL
does.

Owing to the extensive subject matter covered and to a
successful tradition, the style and organization of THE MAN-
UAL have some unique characteristics. Readers are urged to
spend a few minutes reviewing the Guide for Readers (p.
viii), the Table of Contents at the beginning of each section
(indicated by a thumb tab), and the Index (p. 2717). Scrutiny
of the arrangement of subject headings within each section,
of internal headings within a subject discussion, and of bold-
faced terms in the text will reveal a pattern of outlining intend-
ed to aid study of the text.

The foregoing description is a simplified review of the com-
plex and arduous but rewarding 5-year enterprise that culmi-
nated in the presentation of the 16th Edition of THE MERCK
MANUAL. The members of the Editorial Board, special con-
sultants, contributing authors, and in-house staff and their af-
filiations are listed on the pages that follow. They deserve a
degree of gratitude that cannot adequately be expressed
here, but we know they will feel sufficiently rewarded if their
efforts serve your needs.
