AMERICAN ILLUSTRATED

MEDICAL DICTIONARY

For Students and Practitioners

A New and Complete Dictionary of the terms used in Medicine, Surgery, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Chemistry, and kindred branches; together with new and elaborate Tables of Arteries, Muscles, Nerves, Veins, etc.; of Bacilli, Bacteria, Micrococci, etc.; Eponymic Tables of Diseases, Operations, Signs and Symptoms, Stains, Tests, Methods of Treatment, etc. By W. A. N. DORLAND, M. D., Editor of the American Pocket Medical Dictionary. Large octavo, nearly 800 pages, bound in full flexible leather. Price, $4.50 net; with thumb index, $5.00 net.

SECOND EDITION, REVISED.

It contains a maximum amount of matter in a minimum
space and at the lowest possible cost.

This book contains double the material in the ordinary students' dictionary, and yet, by the use of a clear, condensed type and thin paper of the finest quality, is only 134 inches in thickness. It is bound in full flexible leather, and is just the kind of a book that a man will want to keep on his desk for constant reference. The book makes a special feature of the newer words, and defines hundreds of important terms not to be found in any other dictionary. It is especially full in the matter of tables, containing more than a hundred of great practical value, including new tables of Tests, Stains and Staining Methods. A new feature is the inclusion of numerous handsome illustrations, many of them in colors, drawn and engraved specially for this book.

"I must acknowledge my astonishment at seeing how much he has condensed within relatively small space. I find nothing to criticise, very much to commend, and was interested in finding some of the new words which are not in other recent dictionaries."-ROSWELL PARK, Professor of Principles and Practice of Surgery and Clinical Surgery, University of Buffalo.

"I congratulate you upon giving to the profession a dictionary so compact in its structure, and so replete with information required by the busy practitioner and student. It is a necessity as well as an informed companion to every doctor. It should be upon the desk of every practitioner and student of medicine."-JOHN B. MURPHY. Professor of Surgery and Clinical Surgery, Northwestern Un

THE

AMERICAN POCKET

MEDICAL DICTIONARY

EDITED BY

W. A. NEWMAN DORLAND, A. M., M. D.,
Assistant Obstetrician to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
THIRD EDITION, REVISED.

Bound in Full Leather, Limp, with Gold Edges. Price, $1.00 net;
with Patent Thumb Index, $1.25 net.

The book is an absolutely new one. It is not a revision of any old work, but it has been written entirely anew and is constructed on lines that experience has shown to be the most practical for a work of this kind. It aims to be complete, and to that end contains practically all the terms of modern medicine. This makes an unusually large vocabulary. Besides the ordinary dictionary terms the book contains a wealth of anatomical and other tables. This matter is of particular value to students for memorizing in preparation for examination.

"This dictionary is, beyond all doubt, the best one among pocket dictionaries."-St. Louis Medical and Surgical Journal.

"This is a handy pocket dictionary, which is so full and complete that it puts to shame some of the more pretentious volumes.”—Journal of the American Medical Association.

"This is the first pocket dictionary worthy of the consideration of the profession. It is just the kind of a book students have needed for many years, for it contains the most modern words, and the definitions are sufficiently ample."Ohio Medical Journal.

"This is one of the handiest little dictionaries for the pocket that we have yet seen.. Its definitions are short, concise, and complete, so that it contains within a small space as many words, satisfactorily defined, as are found in some of the much larger volumes."-American Medico-Surgical Bulletin.

"This is the nicest thing in the way of a pocket dictionary we have seen.' Chicago Clinical Review.
