2 SAUNDERS' MEDICAL HAND-ATLASES 



saunders' 

 Medical Hand-Atlases 



¥N planning this series of books arrangements were made with 

 representative publishers in the chief medical centers of the 

 world for the publication of translations of the atlases in thir- 

 teen different languages, the lithographic plates for all being 

 made in Germany, where work of this kind has been brought to 

 the greatest perfection. The enormous ex- 

 pense of making the plates being shared by 

 the various publishers, the cost to each one 

 was reduced approximately to one-tenth.

 Price 



Thus, by reason of their universal translation and reproduction, 

 affording international distribution, tne publishers have been 

 enabled to secure for these atlases the best artistic and profes= 

 sional talent, to produce them in the most elegant style, and 

 yet to offer them at a price heretofore unapproached in cheapness. 

 One of the most valuable features of these 

 atlases is that they offer a ready and satis- 

 factory substitute for clinical observation. 

 Such observation, of course, is available only 

 to the residents in large medical centers;

and even then the requisite variety is seen only after long years 

 of routine hospital work. To those unable to attend important 

 clinics these books will be absolutely indispensable, as presenting 

 in a complete and convenient form the most accurate reproduc- 

 tions of clinical work, interpreted by the most competent of 

 clinical teachers. 



Adopted by 

 U. S. Army 



As an indication of the great practical value 

 of the atlases and of the immense favor with 

 which they have been received, it should be 

 noted that the Medical Department of the U. S. Army has adopted 

 the ' 'Atlas of Operative Surgery " as its standard, and has ordered 

 the book in large quantities for distribution to the various regi- 

 ments and army posts.
