The author of this admirable work has long made a 

 study of American climate, from the stand-point of a phy- 

 sician, with a view to ascertaining the most suitable locali- 

 ties for the residence of invalids, believing proper climate 

 to be au almost indispensable factor in the treatment, pre- 

 vention, and cure of many forms of disease. . . . The

 information not to be found elsewhere. Pacific Mod. Jjin:

RECORD-BOOK OF MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS 



For Life Insurance.

In examining for Life Insurance, questions are easily overlooked and the answers to 

 them omitted ; and, as these questions are indispensable, they must be answered before the 

 case can be acted upon, and the examiner is often put to much inconvenience to obtain 

 this information. 



The need has long been felt among examiners for a reference-book in which could be 

 noted the principal points of an examination, and thereby obviate the necessity of a 

 second visit to the applicant when further information is required. 



After a careful study of all the forms of examination blanks now used by Insurance 

 Companies, Dr. J. M. Keating has compiled such a record-book which we are sure will fill 

 this long-felt want. 



This record-book is small, neat, and complete, and embraces all the principal points 

 that are required by the different companies. It is made in two sizes, viz. : No. 1, cover- 

 ing one hundred (100) examinations, and No. 2, covering two hundred (200) examina- 

 tions. The size of the book is 7 x 3f inches, and can be conveniently carried in the 

 pocket.
