SAUNDERS' POCKET MEDICAL LEXICON; or, Dictionary of
Terms and Words used in Medicine and Surgery. By JOHN M.
KEATING, M. D., Editor of "Cyclopædia of Diseases of Children," etc.;
Author of the "New Pronouncing Dictionary of Medicine," and HENRY
HAMILTON, Author of "A New Translation of Virgil's Eneid into English
Verse;" Co-Author of a "New Pronouncing Dictionary of Medicine."
A new and revised edition. 32m0, 282 pages.
Prices: Cloth, 75 cents;
Leather Tucks, $1.00.

This new and comprehensive work of reference is the outcome of a demand for a more modern hand-book of its class than those at present on the market, which, dating as they do from 1855 to 1884, are of but trifling use to the student by their not containing the hundreds of new words now used in current literature, especially those relating to Electricity and Bacteriology.

"Remarkably accurate in terminology, accentuation, and definition."-Journal of American Medical Association.

"Brief, yet complete.... it contains the very latest nomenclature in even the newest departments of medicine."-Medical Record.

SAUNDERS' QUESTION COMPENDS.

Arranged in Question and Answer Form.

THE LATEST, CHEAPEST, AND BEST ILLUSTRATED SERIES OF COMPENDS EVER ISSUED.

Now the Standard Authorities in Medical Literature

WITH

Students and Practitioners in every City of the United States and Canada.

THE REASON WHY

They are the advance guard of "Student's Helps"-that DO HELP; they are the leaders in their special line, well and authoritatively written by able men, who, as teachers in the large col leges, know exactly what is wanted by a student preparing for his examinations. The judgment exercised in the selection of authors is fully demonstrated by their professional elevation. Chosen from the ranks of Demonstrators, Quiz-masters, and Assistants, most of them have become Professors and Lecturers in their respective colleges.

Each book is of convenient size (5×7 inches), containing on an average 250 pages, profusely illustrated, and elegantly printed in clear, readable type, on fine paper.

The entire series, numbering twenty-three subjects, has been kept thoroughly revised and enlarged when necessary, many of them being in their fourth and fifth editions.

TO SUM UP.

Although there are numerous other Quizzes, Manuals, Aids, etc. in the market, none of them approach the "Blue Series of Question Compends;" and the claim is made for the following points of excellence :

1. Professional distinction and reputation of authors.

2. Conciseness, clearness, and soundness of treatment

3. Size of type and quality of paper and binding.

Any of these Compends will be mailed on receipt of price.
