SAUNDERS' NEW AID SERIES OF MANUALS. FOR STUDENTS AND PRACTITIONERS. MR. SAUNDERS is pleased to announce that he has ready his NEW AID SERIES OF MANUALS for Students and Practitioners. 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 "selfhelps" 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.
