Appearing many years after the first edition in 1971, this revision carries far more clinical experience and allows comment upon nonalcoholic patients--in many of whom the disease was iatrogenic. Much is new: thiamine deficiency and the nervous system, Korsakoff amnesic state, and so-called alcoholic cerebral atrophy. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
