body is gradually collected by the larger veins, and these
coalescing forming still larger vessels, until they finally trace
themselves into the Right Auricle of the heart.
It is therefore readily seen that “The Nervo-Vascular System of Charts”
offers the following superior advantages:—
1. It is the only arrangement which combines the Three Systems, and yet
each is perfect and distinct in itself.
2. It is the only instance of the Cranial, Spinal, and Sympathetic
Nervous Systems being represented on one chart.
3. From its neat size and clear type, and being printed only upon one
side, it may be tacked up in any convenient place, and is always ready
for freshening up the memory and reviewing for examination.

For the student of anatomy there can possibly be no more concise way
of acquiring a knowledge of the nerves, veins, and arteries of the
human system. It presents at a glance their trunks and branches in the
great divisions of the body. It will save a world of tedious reading,
and will impress itself on the mind as no ordinary _vade mecum_, even,
could. Its price is nominal and its value inestimable. No student
should be without it.—_Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery._
These are three admirably arranged charts for the use of students, to
assist in memorizing their anatomical studies.—_Buffalo Med. and Surg.

This will prove a most entertaining as well as most interesting
treatise upon a disease which frequently falls to the lot of every
practitioner. The work has been written with a special view of
bringing out the features of the disease as it occurs in the
United States. The author has very judiciously arranged the little
volume, and it will offer many pleasant attractions to the
practitioner.—_Nashville Journal of Medicine and Surgery._
While many monographs have been published which have dealt with the
subject of diabetes, we know of none which so thoroughly considers its
relations to the geographical conditions which exist in the United
States, nor which is more complete in its summary of the
symptomatology and treatment of this affection. A number of tables,
showing the percentage of sugar in a very large number of alcoholic
beverages, adds very considerably to the value of the work.—_Medical

_REMONDINO_
History of Circumcision.
FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE PRESENT. MORAL AND PHYSICAL REASONS FOR
ITS PERFORMANCE; WITH A HISTORY OF EUNUCHISM, HERMAPHRODISM, ETC., AND
OF THE DIFFERENT OPERATIONS PRACTICED UPON THE PREPUCE.
By P. C. REMONDINO, M.D. (Jefferson), Member of the American Medical
Association; of the American Public Health Association; Vice-President
of California State Medical Society and of Southern California Medical
Society, etc.
In one neat 12mo volume of 346 pages. Handsomely bound in Extra

A Popular Edition (unabridged), bound in Paper Covers, is also issued.
Price, 50 Cents, net; in Great Britain, 3s.; in France, 3 fr. 60.
Every physician should read this book; he will there find, in a
condensed and systematized form, what there is known concerning
Circumcision. The book deals with simple facts, and it is not a
dissertation on theories. It deals, in plain, pointed language, with the
relation that the prepuce bears to physical degeneracy and disease,
bases all its utterances on what _has_ occurred and on what _is_ known.
The author has here gathered from every source the material for his
subject, and the deductions are unmistakable.
This is a very full and readable book. To the reader who wishes to
know all about the antiquity of the operation, with the views pro and
con of the right of this appendage to exist, its advantages, dangers,
etc., this is the book.—_The Southern Clinic._
The operative chapter will be particularly useful and interesting to
physicians, as it contains a careful and impartial review of all the
operative procedures, from the most simple to the most elaborate,
paying particular attention to the subject of after-dressings. It is a
very interesting and instructive work, and should be read very
liberally by the profession.—_The Med. Brief._
The author’s views in regard to circumcision, its necessity, and its
results, are well founded, and its performance as a prophylactic
measure is well established.—_Columbus Med. Journal._

Italy, of the Old World, does not excel nor even approach this region in
point of salubrity of climate and all-around healthfulness of
environment. This book fully describes and discusses this wonderfully
charming country. The medical profession, who have long desired a

will find in this volume a satisfactory response to this long-felt and
oft-expressed wish.
_ROHÉ_
Text-Book of Hygiene.
A COMPREHENSIVE TREATISE ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF PREVENTIVE
MEDICINE FROM AN AMERICAN STAND-POINT.
By GEORGE H. ROHÉ, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Hygiene in the
College of Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore; Member of the American
Public Health Association, etc.
Every Sanitarian should have Rohé’s “Text-Book of Hygiene” as a work of
reference.
Second Edition, thoroughly revised and largely rewritten, with many
illustrations and valuable tables. In one handsome Royal Octavo volume
of over 400 pages, bound in Extra Cloth.
Price, post-paid, in United States, $2.50, net; Canada (duty paid),
$2.75, net; Great Britain, 14s.; France, 16 fr. 20.
One prominent feature is that there are no superfluous words; every
sentence is direct to the point sought. It is, therefore, easy
reading, and conveys very much information in little space.—_The
Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery._
It is unquestionably a work that should be in the hands of every
physician in the country, and medical students will find it a most
excellent and valuable text-book.—_The Southern Practitioner._
The first edition was rapidly exhausted, and the book justly became an
authority to physicians and sanitary officers, and a text-book very
generally adopted in the colleges throughout America. The second
edition is a great improvement over the first, all of the matter being
thoroughly revised, much of it being rewritten, and many additions
being made. The size of the book is increased one hundred pages. The
book has the original recommendation of being a handsomely-bound,
clearly-printed octavo volume, profusely illustrated with reliable
references for every branch of the subject matter.—_Medical Record._
The wonder is how Professor Rohé has made the book so readable and
entertaining with so much matter necessarily condensed. Altogether,
the manual is a good exponent of hygiene and sanitary science from the
present American stand-point, and will repay with pleasure and profit
any time that may be given to its perusal.—_University Medical
Magazine._

A Practical Manual of Diseases of the Skin.
By GEORGE H. ROHÉ, M.D., Professor of Materia Medica, Therapeutics, and
Hygiene, and formerly Professor of Dermatology in the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore, etc., assisted by J. WILLIAMS LORD,
A.B., M.D., Lecturer on Dermatology and Bandaging in the College of
Physicians and Surgeons; Assistant Physician to the Skin Department in
the Dispensary of Johns Hopkins Hospital.
In one neat 12mo volume of over 300 pages bound in Extra Dark-Blue

Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.25, net; in Great
Britain, 6s. 6d.; in France, 7 fr. 75.
The PRACTICAL character of this work makes it specially desirable for
the use of students and general practitioners.
The nearly one hundred (100) reliable and carefully prepared Formulæ at
the end of the volume add not a little to its practical value.
All the various forms of skin diseases, from Acne to Zoster
(alphabetically speaking), are succinctly yet amply treated of, and the
arrangement of the book, with its excellent index and unusually full
table of contents, goes to make up a truly satisfactory volume for ready
reference in daily practice.
_SENN_
Principles of Surgery.
By N. SENN, M.D., PH.D., Professor of Practice of Surgery and Clinical
Surgery in Rush Medical College, Chicago, Ill.; Professor of Surgery in
the Chicago Polyclinic; Attending Surgeon to the Milwaukee Hospital;
Consulting Surgeon to the Milwaukee County Hospital and to the Milwaukee
County Insane Asylum.
This work, by one of America’s greatest surgeons, is thoroughly
COMPLETE; its clearness and brevity of statement are among its
conspicuous merits. The author’s long, able, and conscientious
researches in every direction in this important field are a guarantee,
of unusual trustworthiness, that every branch of the subject is treated
authoritatively, and in such a manner as to bring the greatest gain in
knowledge to the practitioner and student.

STEPHEN SMITH, M.D., Professor of Clinical Surgery Medical Department
University of the City of New York, writes: “There has long been great
need of a work on the principles of surgery which would fully
illustrate the present advanced state of knowledge of the various
subjects embraced in this volume. The work seems to me to meet this
want admirably.”
FRANK J. LUTZ, M.D., St. Louis, Mo., says: “It seems incredible that
those who pretend to teach have done without such a guide before, and
I do not understand how our students succeeded in mastering the
principles of modern surgery by attempting to read our obsolete
text-books. American surgery should feel proud of the production, and
the present generation of surgeons owe you a debt of gratitude.”
The work is systematic and compact, without a fact omitted or a
sentence too much, and it not only makes instructive but fascinating
reading. A conspicuous merit of Senn’s work is his method, his
persistent and tireless search through original investigations for
additions to knowledge, and the practical character of his
discoveries.—_The Review of Insanity and Nervous Diseases._
After perusing this work on several different occasions, we have come
to the conclusion that it is a remarkable work, by a man of unusual
ability.—_The Canada Medical Record._
The work is exceedingly practical, as the chapters on the treatment of
the various conditions considered are based on sound deductions, are
complete, and easily carried out by any painstaking surgeon.—_Medical
Record._
The book throughout is worthy of the highest praise. It should be
adopted as a text-book in all of our schools.—_University Medical
Magazine._

kept in view, and leave nothing necessary or desirable untouched.
We know of no book of equal learning, thoroughness, and utility
upon the common and important class of cases composed under
Tuberculosis of Bones and Joints. The illustrations are numerous
and good, and the printing and other details of issuing a book
have been attended to with an enterprise and ambition creditable
to the publishers.—_Cleveland Medical Gazette._

The well-known practical usefulness of this eminently standard work is
now greatly increased by the very recent and accurate information it
gives, from a clinical stand-point, concerning the new and useful drugs
introduced to the medical profession since the issue of the first
edition, two years ago; so that it is thoroughly abreast of the progress
of therapeutic science, and hence really indispensable to every student
and practitioner.
REVIEWS OF THE FIRST EDITION.
The value of the book lies in the fact that it contains all that is
authentic and trustworthy about the host of new remedies which have
deluged us in the last five years. The pages are remarkably free from
useless information. The author has done well in following the
alphabetical order.—_N. Y. Med. Record._
In perusing the pages devoted to the special consideration of drugs,
their pharmacology, physiological action, toxic action, and therapy,
one is constantly surprised at the amount of material compressed in so
limited a space. The book will prove a valuable addition to the
physician’s library.—_Occidental Med. Times._
It is a meritorious work, with many unique features. It is richly
illustrated by well-tried prescriptions showing the practical
application of the various drugs discussed. In short, this work makes
a pretty complete encyclopædia of the science of therapeutics,
conveniently arranged for handy reference.—_Med. World._
_SHOEMAKER_
Heredity, Health, and Personal Beauty.
INCLUDING THE SELECTION OF THE BEST COSMETICS FOR THE SKIN, HAIR, NAILS,
AND ALL PARTS RELATING TO THE BODY.
By JOHN V. SHOEMAKER, A.M., M.D., Professor of Materia Medica,
Pharmacology, Therapeutics, and Clinical Medicine, and Clinical
Professor of Diseases of the Skin in the Medico-Chirurgical College of
Philadelphia; Physician to the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital, etc., etc.
The health of the skin and hair, and how to promote them, are discussed;
the treatment of the nails; the subjects of ventilation, food, clothing,
warmth, bathing; the circulation of the blood, digestion, ventilation;
in fact, all that in daily life conduces to the well-being of the body
and refinement is duly enlarged upon. To these stores of popular
information is added a list of the best medicated soaps and toilet
soaps, and a whole chapter of the work is devoted to household remedies.
The work is largely suggestive, and gives wise and timely advice as to
when a physician should be consulted. _This is just the book to place on
the waiting-room table of every physician, and a work that will prove
useful in the hands of your patients._
Complete in one handsome Royal Octavo volume of 425 pages, beautifully

fr.; Half-Morocco, 22 fr.
The book reads not like the fulfillment of a task, but like the
researches and observations of one thoroughly in love with his subject,
fully appreciating its importance, and writing for the pleasure he
experiences in it. The work is very comprehensive and complete in its
scope.—_Medical World._
The book before us is a most remarkable production and a most
entertaining one. The book is equally well adapted for the laity or the
profession. It tells us how to be healthy, happy, and as beautiful as
possible. We can’t review this book; it is different from anything we
have ever read. It runs like a novel, and will be perused until finished
with pleasure and profit. Buy it, read it, and be surprised, pleased,
and improved.—_The Southern Clinic._
This book is written primarily for the laity, but will prove of interest
to the physician as well. Though the author goes to some extent into
technicalities, he confines himself to the use of good, plain English,
and in that respect sets a notable example to many other writers on
similar subjects. Furthermore, the book is written from a thoroughly
American stand-point.—_Medical Record._
This is an exceedingly interesting book, both scientific and
practical in character, intended for both professional and lay
readers. The book is well written and presented in admirable form by
the publisher.—_Canadian Practitioner._

Pharmacology, Therapeutics, and Clinical Medicine, and Clinical
Professor of Diseases of the Skin in the Medico-Chirurgical College of
Philadelphia, etc., etc.
The author concisely concludes his preface as follows: “The reader may
thus obtain a conspectus of the whole subject of inunction as it exists
to-day in the civilized world. In all cases the mode of preparation is
given, and the therapeutical application described seriatim, in so far
as may be done without needless repetition.”
SECOND EDITION, revised and enlarged. 298 pages. 12mo. Neatly bound in

Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.50, net; in Great
Britain, 8s. 6d.; in France, 9 fr. 35.
It is invaluable as a ready reference when ointments or oleates are to
be used, and is serviceable to both druggist and physician.—_Canada
Medical Record._
To the physician who feels uncertain as to the best form in which to
prescribe medicines by way of the skin the book will prove valuable,
owing to the many prescriptions and formulæ which dot its pages, while
the copious index at the back materially aids in making the book a
useful one.—_Medical News._
_SMITH_
Physiology of the Domestic Animals.
A TEXT-BOOK FOR VETERINARY AND MEDICAL STUDENTS AND PRACTITIONERS.
By ROBERT MEADE SMITH, A.M., M.D., Professor of Comparative Physiology
in University of Pennsylvania; Fellow of the College of Physicians and
Academy of the Natural Sciences, Philadelphia; of American Physiological
Society; of the American Society of Naturalists, etc.
This new and important work, the most thoroughly complete in the English
language on this subject, treats of the physiology of the domestic
animals in a most comprehensive manner, especial prominence being given
to the subject of foods and fodders, and the character of the diet for
the herbivora under different conditions, with a full consideration of
their digestive peculiarities. Without being overburdened with details,
it forms a complete text-book of physiology adapted to the use of
students and practitioners of both veterinary and human medicine. This
work has already been adopted as the Text-Book on Physiology in the
Veterinary Colleges of the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. In
one Handsome Royal Octavo Volume of over 950 pages, profusely
illustrated with more than 400 Fine Wood-Engravings and many Colored
Plates.

A. LIAUTARD, M.D., H.F.R.C., V.S., Professor of Anatomy, Operative
Surgery, and Sanitary Medicine in the American Veterinary College, New
York, writes:—“I have examined the work of Dr. R. M. Smith on the
‘Physiology of the Domestic Animals,’ and consider it one of the best
additions to veterinary literature that we have had for some time.”
E. M. READING, A.M., M.D., Professor of Physiology in the Chicago
Veterinary College, writes:—“I have carefully examined the ‘Smith’s
Physiology,’ published by you, and like it. It is comprehensive,
exhaustive, and complete, and is especially adapted to those who desire
to obtain a full knowledge of the principles of physiology, and are not
satisfied with a mere smattering of the cardinal points.”
Dr. Smith’s presentment of his subject is as brief as the status of the
science permits, and to this much-desired conciseness he has added an
equally welcome clearness of statement. The illustrations in the work
are exceedingly good, and must prove a valuable aid to the full
understanding of the text—_Journal of Comparative Medicine and Surgery._
Veterinary practitioners and graduates will read it with pleasure.
Veterinary students will readily acquire needed knowledge from its
pages, and veterinary schools, which would be well equipped for the work
they aim to perform, cannot ignore it as their text-book in
physiology.—_American Veterinary Review._
Altogether, Professor Smith’s “Physiology of the Domestic Animals” is a
happy production, and will be hailed with delight in both the human
medical and veterinary medical worlds. It should find its place,
besides, in all agricultural libraries.—PAUL PAQUIN, M.D., V.S., in the
_Weekly Medical Review_.
The author has judiciously made the nutritive functions the strong point
of the work, and has devoted special attention to the subject of foods
and digestion. In looking through other sections of the work, it appears
to us that a just proportion of space is assigned to each, in view of
their relative importance to the practitioner.—_London Lancet._
_SOZINSKEY_

By THOMAS S. SOZINSKEY, M.D., Ph.D., Author of “The Culture of Beauty,”
“The Care and Culture of Children,” etc.
12mo. Nearly 200 pages. Neatly bound in Dark-Blue Cloth. Appropriately
illustrated with upward of thirty (30) new Wood-Engravings. _No. 9 in
the Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference Series._
Price, post-paid, in United States and Canada, $1.00, net; Great
Britain, 6s.; France, 6 fr. 20.
He who has not time to more fully study the more extended records of the
past, will highly prize this little book. Its interesting discourse upon
the past is full of suggestive thought.—_American Lancet._
Like an oasis in a dry and dusty desert of medical literature, through
which we wearily stagger, is this work devoted to medical symbolism and
mythology. As the author aptly quotes: “What some light braines may
esteem as foolish toyes, deeper judgments can and will value as sound
and serious matter.”—_Canadian Practitioner._
In the volume before us we have an admirable and successful attempt to
set forth in order those medical symbols which have come down to us, and
to explain on historical grounds their significance. An astonishing
amount of information is contained within the covers of the book, and
every page of the work bears token of the painstaking genius and erudite
mind of the now unhappily deceased author.—_London Lancet._
_STEWART_
Obstetric Synopsis.
By JOHN S. STEWART, M.D., formerly Demonstrator of Obstetrics and Chief
Assistant in the Gynæcological Clinic of the Medico-Chirurgical College
of Philadelphia: with an introductory note by WILLIAM S. STEWART, A.M.,
M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Gynæcology in the Medico-Chirurgical
College of Philadelphia.
By students this work will be found particularly useful. It is based
upon the teachings of such well-known authors as Playfair, Parvin, Lusk,
Galabin, and Cazeaux and Tarnier, and contains much new and important
matter of great value to both student and practitioner.
With 42 Illustrations. 202 pages. 12mo. Handsomely bound in Dark-Blue
Cloth. _No. 1 in the Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference Series._
Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.00, net; in Great
Britain, 6s.; France, 6 fr. 20.
DELASKIE MILLER, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics, Rush Medical College,
Chicago, Ill., says:—“I have examined the ‘Obstetric Synopsis,’ by John
S. Stewart, M.D., and it gives me pleasure to characterize the work as
systematic, concise, perspicuous, and authentic. Among manuals it is one
of the best.”
It is well written, excellently illustrated, and fully up to date in
every respect. Here we find all the essentials of Obstetrics in a
nutshell, Anatomy, Embryology, Physiology, Pregnancy, Labor, Puerperal
State, and Obstetric Operations all being carefully and accurately
described.—_Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal._
It is clear and concise. The chapter on the development of the ovum is
especially satisfactory. The judicious use of bold-faced type for
headings and italics for important statements gives the book a pleasing
typographical appearance.—_Medical Record._
This volume is done with a masterly hand. The scheme is an excellent
one. The whole is freely and most admirably illustrated with well-drawn,
new engravings, and the book is of a very convenient size.—_St. Louis
Medical and Surgical Journal._
_ULTZMANN_
The Neuroses of the Genito-Urinary System in the Male.
WITH STERILITY AND IMPOTENCE.
By DR. R. ULTZMANN, Professor of Genito-Urinary Diseases in the
University of Vienna. Translated, with the author’s permission, by
GARDNER W. ALLEN, M.D., Surgeon in the Genito-Urinary Department, Boston
Dispensary.
Full and complete, yet terse and concise, it handles the subject with
such a vigor of touch, such a clearness of detail and description, and
such a directness to the result, that no medical man who once takes it
up will be content to lay it down until its perusal is complete,—nor
will one reading be enough.
Professor Ultzmann has approached the subject from a somewhat different
point of view from most surgeons, and this gives a peculiar value to the
work. It is believed, moreover, that there is no convenient hand-book in
English treating in a broad manner the Genito-Urinary Neuroses.
SYNOPSIS OF CONTENTS.—First Part—I. Chemical Changes in the Urine in
Cases of Neuroses. II. Neuroses of the Urinary and of the Sexual Organs,
classified as: (1) Sensory Neuroses; (2) Motor Neuroses; (3) Secretory
Neuroses. Second Part—Sterility and Impotence. The treatment in all
cases is described clearly and minutely.
Illustrated. 12mo. Handsomely bound in Dark-Blue Cloth. _No. 4 in the
Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference Series._
Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.00, net; in Great
Britain, 6s.; in France, 6 fr. 20.
This book is to be highly recommended, owing to its clearness and
brevity. Altogether, we do not know of any book of the same size which
contains so much useful information in such a short space.—_Medical
News._
Its scope is large, not being confined to the one
condition,—neurasthenia,—but embracing all of the neuroses, motor and
sensory, of the genito-urinary organs in the male. No one who has read
after Dr. Ultzmann need be reminded of his delightful manner of
presenting his thoughts, which ever sparkle with originality and
appositeness.—_Weekly Med. Review._
It engenders sound pathological teaching, and will aid in no small
degree in throwing light on the management of many of the difficult and
more refractory cases of the classes to which these essays especially

By complying with and conforming to (and this is perfectly practicable)
the instructions so clearly, fully, and yet briefly given in this little
volume, absolute security against the disease is assured.
It is written by so experienced and competent an authority—one who has
had actual hand-to-hand conflict with an extensive epidemic—and in such
a clear, succinct style, as to be easily comprehended and made available
by every individual and household.
The following CONDENSED TABLE OF CONTENTS shows the scope and
completeness of the work: Definition; History of Cholera; Cholera in
America; Causes of the Disease; The Disease in Human Beings; The Germ in
the Body; The Disease in Epidemic Form; Symptoms; The Diagnosis of the
Disease; Prognosis; Treatment; Prevention; Method of Handling an
Outbreak of Cholera on Shipboard; Quarantine; Disinfection.
A very thorough and conveniently arranged index adds greatly to the
practical usefulness of the book.
_WITHERSTINE_
The International Pocket Medical Formulary
ARRANGED THERAPEUTICALLY.
By C. SUMNER WITHERSTINE, M.S., M.D., Associate Editor of the “Annual of
the Universal Medical Sciences”; Visiting Physician of the Home for the
Aged, Germantown, Philadelphia; Late House-Surgeon Charity Hospital, New
York.
More than 1800 formulæ from several hundred well-known authorities. With
an Appendix containing a Posological Table, the newer remedies included;
Important Incompatibles; Tables on Dentition and the Pulse; Table of
Drops in a Fluidrachm and Doses of Laudanum graduated for age; Formulæ
and Doses of Hypodermatic Medication, including the newer remedies; Uses
of the Hypodermatic Syringe; Formulæ and Doses for Inhalations, Nasal
Douches, Gargles, and Eye-Washes; Formulæ for Suppositories; Use of the
Thermometer in Disease; Poisons, Antidotes and Treatment; Directions for
Post-Mortem and Medico-Legal Examinations; Treatment of Asphyxia,
Sun-stroke, etc.; Antiemetic Remedies and Disinfectants; Obstetrical
Table; Directions for Ligations of Arteries; Urinary Analysis; Table of
Eruptive Fevers; Motor Points for Electrical Treatment, etc.
This work, the best and most complete of its kind, contains about 275
printed pages, besides extra blank leaves judiciously distributed
throughout the book, affording a place to record and index favorite
formulæ. Elegantly printed, with red lines, edges, and borders; with
illustrations. Bound in leather, with side-flap.
The alphabetical arrangement of the diseases and a thumb-letter index
render reference rapid and easy.
As a _student_, the physician needs it for study, collateral reading,
and, for recording the favorite prescriptions of his professors, in
lecture and clinic; as a _recent graduate_, he needs it as a reference
hand-book for daily use in prescribing; as an _old practitioner_, he
needs it to refresh his memory on old remedies and combinations, and for
information concerning newer remedies and more modern approved plans of
treatment.
No live, progressive medical man can afford to be without it.

_YOUNG_
Synopsis of Human Anatomy.
BEING A COMPLETE COMPEND OF ANATOMY, INCLUDING THE ANATOMY OF THE
VISCERA, AND NUMEROUS TABLES.
By JAMES K. YOUNG, M.D., Instructor in Orthopædic Surgery and Assistant
Demonstrator of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania; Attending
Orthopædic Surgeon, Out-Patient Department, University Hospital, etc.
While the author has prepared this work especially for students,
sufficient descriptive matter has been added to render it extremely
valuable to the busy practitioner, particularly the sections on the
Viscera, Special Senses, and Surgical Anatomy.
The work includes a complete account of Osteology, Articulations, and
Ligaments, Muscles, Fascias, Vascular and Nervous Systems, Alimentary,
Vocal, and Respiratory and Genito-Urinary Apparatus, the Organs of
Special Sense, and Surgical Anatomy.
In addition to a most carefully and accurately prepared text, wherever
possible, the value of the work has been enhanced by tables to
facilitate and minimize the labor of students in acquiring a thorough
knowledge of this important subject. The section on the teeth has also
been especially prepared to meet the requirements of students of
dentistry.
Illustrated with 76 Wood-Engravings. 390 pages. 12mo. Bound in Extra
Dark-Blue Cloth. _No. 3 in the Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference
Series._
Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.40, net; in Great
Britain, 8s. 6d; in France, 9 fr. 25.
Every unnecessary word has been excluded, out of regard to the very
limited time at the medical student’s disposal. It is also good as a
reference-book, as it presents the facts about which he wishes to
refresh his memory in the briefest manner consistent with
clearness.—_New York Medical Journal._
As a companion to the dissecting table, and a convenient reference for
the practitioner, it has a definite field of usefulness.—_Pittsburgh
Medical Review._
The book is much more satisfactory than the “remembrances” in vogue,
and yet is not too cumbersome to be carried around and read at odd
moments—a property which the student will readily appreciate.—_Weekly
Medical Review._

THE BIOGRAPHY OF A GREAT SURGEON.
HISTORY OF THE
Life of D. HAYES AGNEW, M.D., LL.D.
By J. HOWE ADAMS, M.D.
This fascinating life history of one of the world’s greatest surgeons is
_now ready_.
Dr. J. Howe Adams, the author, has been for many years a member of Dr.
Agnew’s family, has had the valuable aid of Mrs. Agnew, and also access
to documents and papers of unusual value and interest that would have
been denied to most writers; so that the biography here presented is
written, as it were, from the inside, and thus made doubly interesting
and valuable as the narrative of the career of an eminent physician,
surgeon, and benefactor of mankind. Royal Octavo, 376 pages, handsomely
printed, with Portraits and other illustrations.
Price, in United States, Extra Cloth, $2.50 net: Half-Morocco, Gilt Top,
$3.50 net, post-paid. In Canada (duty paid), Cloth, $2.75 net;

Professor von Krafft-Ebing’s study of the psychopathology of the sexual
life easily supersedes all previous attempts to treat this important
subject scientifically, and it is sure to commend itself to members of

social and criminal enigmas to which no work in English offers a
solution.

_RANNEY_
Lectures on Nervous Diseases.
FROM THE STAND-POINT OF CEREBRAL AND SPINAL LOCALIZATION, AND THE LATER
METHODS EMPLOYED IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF THESE AFFECTIONS.
By AMBROSE L. RANNEY, A.M., M.D., Professor of the Anatomy and
Physiology of the Nervous System in the New York Post-Graduate Medical
School and Hospital; Professor of Nervous and Mental Diseases in the
Medical Department of the University of Vermont, etc.; Author of “The
Applied Anatomy of the Nervous System,” “Practical Medical Anatomy,”
etc., etc.
It is now generally conceded that the nervous system controls all of the
physical functions to a greater or less extent, and also that most of
the symptoms encountered at the bedside can be explained and interpreted
from the stand-point of nervous physiology.
Profusely illustrated with original diagrams and sketches in color by
the author, carefully selected wood-engravings, and reproduced
photographs of typical cases. One handsome royal octavo volume of 780
pages.

We are glad to note that Dr. Ranney has published in book form his
admirable lectures on nervous diseases. His book contains over seven
hundred large pages, and is profusely illustrated with original
diagrams and sketches in colors, and with many carefully selected
wood-cuts and reproduced photographs of typical cases. A large amount
of valuable information, not a little of which has but recently
appeared in medical literature, is presented in compact form, and thus
made easily accessible. In our opinion, Dr. Ranney’s book ought to
meet with a cordial reception at the hands of the medical profession,
for, even though the author’s views may be sometimes open to question,
it cannot be disputed that his work bears evidence of scientific
method and honest opinion.—_American Journal of Insanity._
STANTON’S
Practical and Scientific Physiognomy;
OR
How to Read Faces.
By MARY OLMSTED STANTON. Copiously illustrated. Two large Royal Octavo
volumes. 1220 pages.
The author, MRS. MARY O. STANTON, has given over twenty years to the
preparation of this work. Her style is easy, and, by her happy method of
illustration of every point, the book reads like a novel and memorizes
itself. To physicians the diagnostic information conveyed is invaluable.
To the general reader each page opens a new train of ideas. (This book
has no reference whatever to phrenology.)
