D., Fellow of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Philadelphia; Vice-President of the American Pædiatric Society; Ex-President of the Association of Life Insurance Medical Directors. Royal 8vo, 211 pages, with two large half-tone illustrations, and a plate prepared by Dr. McClellan from special dissections; also, numerous cuts to elucidate the text. Price, in Cloth, $2.00 net.

"This is by far the most useful book which has yet appeared on insurance examination, a subject of growing interest and importance. Not the least valuable portion of the volume is Part II., which consists of instructions issued to their examining physicians by twenty-four representative companies of this country. As the proofs of these instructions were corrected by the directors of the companies, they form the latest instructions obtainable. If for these alone the book should be at the right hand of every physician interested in this special branch of medical science."-The Medical News, Philadelphia.

A reliable guide not only for mothers, but also for medical students and practitioners whose opportunities for observing children have been limited.

"The whole book is characterized by rare good sense, and is evidently written by a master hand. It can be read with benefit not only by mothers, but by medical students and by any practitioners who have not had large opportunities for observing children."—American Journal of Obstetrics, July, 1895.

"The best book for the use of the young mother with which we are acquainted.

There

are very few general practitioners who could not read the book through with advantage.”—Archives of Pediatrics, Aug., 1895..

"No better book of its kind has come under our notice for some time. Although intended primarily for mothers and nurses, it will well repay perusal by medical students.”—Birmingham Medical Review, Oct., 1895.

This is one of the best works of its kind that has been presented to the people for many a day.”—Maryland Medical Journal, Aug. 13, 1895.

SAUNDERS'

NEW AID SERIES OF MANUALS.

FOR

STUDENTS AND PRACTITIONERS.

MR. SAUNDERS is pleased to announce the successful issue of several volumes of his NEW AID SERIES OF MANUALS, which have received the most flattering commendations from Students and Practitioners and the Press. As publisher of the STANDARD SERIES OF QUESTION COMPENDS, and through intimate relations with leading members of the medical profession, Mr. Saunders has been enabled to study progressively the essential desiderata in practical "self-helps" for students and physicians.

This study has manifested that, while the published "Question Compends" earn the highest appreciation of students, whom they serve in reviewing their studies preparatory to examination, there is special need of thoroughly reliable handbooks on the leading branches of Medicine and Surgery, each subject being compactly and authoritatively written, and exhaustive in detail, without the introduction of cases and foreign subject-matter which so largely expand ordinary textbooks.

The Saunders Aid Series will not merely be condensations from present literature, but will be ably written by well-known authors and practitioners, most of them being teachers in representative American Colleges. This new series, therefore, will form an admirable collection of advanced lectures, which will be invaluable aids to students in reading and in comprehending the contents of "recommended" works.

Each Manual will further be distinguished by the beauty of the new type; by the quality of the paper and printing; by the copious use of illustrations; by the attractive binding in cloth; and by the extremely low price at which they will be sold.
