TAYLOR, EGBERT W., A.M., M.D.,

 dent of the American Dermatological Association. 



A Clinical Atlas of Venereal and Skin Diseases: Including Diagnosis,

 comprising 58 beautifully-colored plates with 213 figures, and 431 pages of text with 85 

 engravings. Complete work just ready. Price per part, $2.50. Bound in one volume,

The completion of this monumental work is a 

 subject of congratulation, not only to the author 

 and publishers, but to the profession at large; 

 indeed it is to the latter that it directly appeals as 

 a wonderlully clear exposition of a confessedly 

 difficult branch of medicine. Good literature has 

 joined hands with good art with highly satisfac- 

 tory results for both. There are altogether 213 

 figures, many of which are life size, and represent 

 the highest perfection of the chromo-litho- 

 graphic art, ana scattered throughout the text are 

 innumerable engravings. Quite a proportion of 

 these illustrations are from the author's own 

 collection, while on the other hand the best 

 atlases of the world have been drawn upon for 

 the most typical and successful pictures of the 

 many different types of venereal and skin dis 

 ease. We think we may say without undue 

 exaggeration that the reproductions, both in color 

 and in black and white, are almost invariably 

 successful. The text is practical, full of thera- 

 peutical suggestions, and the clinical accounts of 

 disease are clear and incisive. Dr. Taylor is, 

 happily, an eminent authority in both departments, 

 and we find as a consequence that the two divis- 

 ions of this work possess an equal scientific and 

 literary merit. We have already passed the limits 



allotted to a notice of this kind, and while we 

 have nothing but praise for this admirable atlas, 

 it must be said in justification that it is more than 

 warranted by the merits of the work itself. 

 The Medical News, Dec. 14, 1889. 



It would be hard to use words which would per- 

 spicuously enough convey to the reader the great 

 value of this Clinical Atlas. This Atlas is more 

 complete even than an ordinary course of clinical 

 lectures, for in no one college or hospital course 

 is it at all probable that all of the diseases herein 

 represented would be seen. It is also more ser- 

 viceable to the majority of students than attend- 

 ance upon clinical lectures, for most of the 

 students who sit on remote seats in the lecture 

 hall cannot see the subject as well as the office 

 student can examine these true to-life chromo-lith- 

 ographs. Comparing the text to a lecturer, it is 

 more satisfactory in exactness and fulness than 

 he would be likely to be in lecturing over a single 

 case. Indeed, this Atlas is invaluable to the gen- 

 eral practitioner, for it enables the eye of the 

 physician to make diagnosis of a given case of 

 skin manifestation by comparing the case with 

 the picture in the Atlas, where will be found also 

 the text of diagnosis, pathology, and full sections 

 on treatment. Virginia Medical Monthly, Dec. 1889. 



JETYDE, J. NEVINS, A. M., M. D., 



Professor of Dermatology and Venereal Diseases in Rush Medical College, Chicago. 



A Practical Treatise on Diseases of the Skin. For the use of Students and 

 Practitioners. New (second) edition. In one handsome octavo volume of 676 pages, 

 with 2 colored plates and 85 beautiful and elaborate illustrations. Cloth, $4.50; leather, $5.50. 



We can heartily commend it, not only as an 

 admirable text-book for teacher and student, but 

 in its clear and comprehensive rules for diagnosis, 

 its sound and independent doctrines in pathology, 

 and its minute and judicious directions for the 

 treatment of disease, as a most satisfactory and 

 complete practical guide for the physician. Ameri- 

 can Journal of the Medical Sciences, July, 1888. 



A useful glossary descriptive 01 terms is given. 

 The descriptive portions of this work are plain 

 and easily understood, and above all are very 

 accurate. The therapeutical part is abundantly 

 supplied with excellent recommendations. The 

 picture part is well done. The value of the work 

 to practitioners is great because of the excellence 

 of the descriptions, the suggestiveness of the 

 advice, and the correctness of the details and the 

 principles of therapeutics impressed upon the 

 reader. Virginia Med. Monthly, May, 1888. 



The second edition of his treatise is like his 

 clinical instruction, admirably arranged, attractive 

 in diction, and strikingly practical throughout. 

 The chapter on general symptomatology is a model 

 in its way; no clearer description of the various 

 primary and consecutive lesions of the skin is to 

 be met with anywhere. Those on general diagno- 

 sis and therapeutics are also worthy of careful 

 study. Dr. Hyde has shown himself a compre- 

 hensive reader of the latest literature, and has in- 

 corporated into his book all the best of that which 

 the past years have brought forth. The prescrip- 

 tions and formulae are given in both common and 

 metric systems. Text and illustrations are good, 

 and colored plates of rare cases lend additional 

 attractions. Altogether it is a work exactly fitted 

 to the needs of a general practitioner, and no one 

 will make a mistake in purchasing it. Medical 

 Press of Western New York, June, 1888.

manual to lie upon the table for instant reference. 

 Its alphabetical arrangement is suited to this use, 

 for all one has to know is the name of the disease, 

 and here are its description and the appropriate 

 treatment at hand and ready for instant applica- 

 tion. The present edition has been very carefully 

 revised and a number of new diseases are de- 

 scribed, while most of the recent additions to 

 dermal therapeutics find mention, and the formu 

 lary at the end of the book has been considerably 

 augmented. The Medical News, December, 1883. 



The third edition of this convenient handbook 

 calls for notice owing to the revision and expansion 

 which it has undergone. The arrangement of skin 

 diseases in alphabetical order, which is the method 

 of classification adopted in this work, becomes a 

 positive advantage to the student. The book is 

 one which we can strongly recommend, not only 

 to students but also to practitioners who require a 

 compendious summary of the present state of 

 dermatology. British Medical Journal, July 2, 1883. 



We cordially recommend Fox's Epitome to those 

 whose time is limited and who wish a handy
