CLASSIFIED CATALOGUE 



OF 



MEDICAL AND SURGICAL 



PUBLICATIONS. 



In asking the attention of the profession to the works advertised in the following pages, 

 the publishers would state that no pains are spared to secure a continuance of the confi- 

 dence earned for the publications of the house by their careful selection and accuracy and 

 finish of execution. 



The large number of inquiries received from the profession for a finer class of bindings than is 

 usually placed on medical books has induced us to put certain of our standard publications in 

 half Russia; and, that the growing taste may be encouraged, the prices have been fixed at so small 

 an advance over the cost of sheep as to place it within the means of all to possess a library that 

 shall have attractions as well for the eye as for the mind of the reading practitioner. 



The printed prices are those at which books can generally be supplied by booksellers 

 throughout the United States, who can readily procure for their customers any works not 

 kept in stock. Where access to bookstores is not convenient books will be sent by mail 

 postpaid on receipt of the price, and as the limit of mailable weight has been removed, no 

 difficulty will be experienced in obtaining through the post-office any work in this cata- 

 logue. No risks, however, are assumed either on the money or on the books, and no pub- 

 lications but our own are supplied, so that gentlemen will in most cases find it more con- 

 venient to deal with the nearest bookseller.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1887. 



The American Journal of the Medical Sciences. 



Quarterly, 300-350 pages, with illustrations. Price, $5.00 per annum. 



WITH the year 1886 THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES became 

 in Great Britain the recognized organ of the profession a position similar to 

 that occupied by it in America for sixty-six years. On its announcement, this project for 

 an international journal was welcomed abroad with acclamation, and one hundred and 

 thirty-five of the foremost English practitioners authorized the use of their names 

 as contributors in order to aid in extending over their country the benefits which Ameri- 

 can medicine has enjoyed from the existence of THE JOURNAL during two generations 

 This friendly challenge was accepted by an almost equal -number of Americans, to 

 whose proved ability this country can well afford to entrust her reputation. 



In thus becoming the medium of communication between the two nations distinguished 

 above all others by the practical character of their labors, THE JOURNAL undoubt- 

 edly forms the most efficient factor in medical progress which the world has yet seen. 

 Already this generous spirit of rivalry has proved that the ample space devoted to 

 Original Articles will continue to be filled with a series of contributions unapproachable 

 in value.
