It is so well gotten up and of such convenient size. No errors have been found in my use of it.”—Howard A. Kelly,Professor of Gynecology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. W. B.

THE

With Complete Vocabulary

AMERICAN POCKET

MEDICAL DICTIONARY

EDITED BY W.A. NEWMAN DORLAND, A.M., M.D., Assistant Demonstrator of Obstetrics, University of Pennsylvania. HUNDREDS OF NEW TERMS Bound in Full Leather, Limp, with Gold Edges. Price, $1.00 net; with Patent Thumb Index, $1.25 net.

The book is anabsolutely 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 becomplete, 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 ofanatomical and other tables. This matter is of particular value to students for memorizing in preparation for examination. “I am struck at once with admiration at the compact size and attractive exterior. I can recommend it to our students without reserve.”—James W. Holland, M.D.,of Jefferson Medical College. “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. “We have consulted it for the meaning of many new and rare terms, and have not met with a disappointment. The definitions are exquisitely clear and concise. We have never found so much information in so small a space.”—Dublin Journal of Medical Science. “This is a handy little volume that, upon examination, seems fairly to fulfil the promise of its title, and to contain a vast amount of information in a very small space.... It is somewhat surprising that it contains so many of the rarer terms used in medicine.”—Bulletin Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. W. B. SAUNDERS COMPANY, 925 Walnut St., Phila. London: 9, Henrietta Street, Covent Garden

PREFACE TO SEVENTH EDITION.

In the present—seventh—edition the subject matter, especially as regards the practical part, has been gone over carefully and the necessary corrections and additions made. Nineteen new illustrations have been added, a few of the old ones being eliminated. It is hoped that the continued demand for this compend means a widening interest in the study of diseases of the skin, sufficiently keen as to lead to the desire for a still greater knowledge.

PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION.

Much of the present volume is, in a measure, the outcome of a thorough revision, remodelling and simplification of the various articles contributed by the author to Pepper's System of Medicine, Buck's Reference Handbook of the Medical Sciences, and Keating's Cyclopædia of the Diseases of Children. Moreover, in the endeavor to present the subject as tersely and briefly as compatible with clear understanding, the several standard treatises on diseases of the skin by Tilbury Fox, Duhring, Hyde, Robinson, Anderson, and Crocker, have been freely consulted, that of the last-named author suggesting the pictorial presentation of the “Anatomy of the Skin.” The space allotted to each disease has been based upon relative importance. As to treatment, the best and approved methods only—those which are founded upon the aggregate experience of dermatologists—are referred to. For general information a statistical table from the Transactions of the American Dermatological Association is appended. H.W.S.
