DEAVER'S SURGICAL ANATOMY 



The illustrations, which at the first glance appear as the prominent feature of 

 the book- -but which in reality do not overshadow the text consist of a series of 

 pictures absolutely unique and fresh. They will bear comparison from an artistic point 

 of view with any other work, while from a practical point of view there is no other 

 volume or series of volumes to which they can be compared. When originally an- 

 nounced, the book was to contain two hundred illustrations. As the work of prepara- 

 tion progressed, this number gradually increased to more than four hundred and fifty 

 full-page plates, many of which contain more than one figure. With the exception of 

 a few minor pictures made from preparations in the possession of the author, they have 

 all been drawn by special artists from dissections made for the purpose in the dissecting- 

 rooms of the University of Pennsylvania. Their accuracy cannot be questioned, as 

 each drawing has been submitted to the most careful scrutiny. 



From The Medical Record, New York. 



44 The reader is not only taken by easy and natural stages from the more superficial to the 

 deeper regions, but the various important regional landmarks are also indicated by schematic 

 tracing upon the limbs. Thus the courses of arteries, veins, and nerves are indicated in a way that 

 makes the lesson strikingly impressive and easily learned. No expense, evidently, has been 

 spared in the preparation of the work, judging from the number of full-page plates it contains, not 

 counting the smaller drawings. Most of these have been ' drawn bv .special artists from dissections 

 made for the purpose in the dissecting-rooms of the University of Pennsylvania.' In summing up 

 the general excellences of this remarkable work, we can accord our unqualified praise for the 

 accurate, exhaustive, and systematic manner in which the author has carried out his plan, and we 

 can commend it as a model of its kind, which must be possessed to be appreciated/' 



From The Philadelphia Medical Journal. 



" Many members of the profession to whom Dr. Deaver is well known either personally or by 

 reputation as a surgeon, writer, teacher, and practical anatomist, have awaited the appearance of 

 his Surgical Anatomy with the expectation of finding in it a guide in this difficult branch of medi- 

 cine of much more than ordinary practical value, and their expectations will not be disappointed." 



From The Journal of the American Medical Association. 



" In order to show its thoroughness, it is only necessary to mention that no less than twelve 

 full-page plates are reproduced in order to accurately portray the surgical anatomy of the hand, 

 and it is doubtful whether any better description exists in any work in the English language/' 



From The Southern California Practitioner. 



" Aside from the merit of this great work, it will be a delight to the lover of books. Its gen. 

 eral make-up shows the highest development of the book-making art. The bibliophile, when 

 holding one of these volumes in his hands, would be as careful with it as though he were handling 

 an infant, and to drop it would cause him the keenest pain. The illustrations, the print, and the 

 paper and binding are each and all delightful in themselves, and yet the text is concise and clear, 

 and taken with the illustrations make a remarkably good substitute for the dissecting-room. To 

 have these three volumes on his library shelves will be a source of pride and joy and profit to 

 every practitioner. Dr. Deaver has in these volumes conferred a boon upon the medical profession 

 which has, at least, never been surpassed by any one." 



From The New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal. 



" While the needs of the undergraduate have been fully kept in view, it has been the aim of 

 the author to provide a work which would be sufficient for reference for use in actual practice. We 

 believe the book fulfils both requirements. The arrangement is systematic and the discussion of 

 surgical relations thorough ."
