BULLETIN OF MEDICAL PUBLICATIONS : W. B. SAUNDERS, PHILADA. 



Now Ready, Volume for 1896. 

 SAUNDERS' 



American Year-Book of Medicine and Surgery 



COLLECTED AND ARRANGED BY EMINENT AMERICAN SPECIALISTS AND TEACHERS, 



UNDER THE EDITORIAL CHARGE OF 



GEORGE M. GOULD, M. D. 



NOTWITHSTANDING the rapid multiplication of medical and surgical works, 

 still these publications fail to meet fully the requirements of the general physician, 

 inasmuch as -he feels the need of something more than mere text-books of well- 

 known principles of medical science. Mr. Saunders has long been impressed with 

 this fact, which is confirmed by the unanimity of expression from the profession 

 at large, as indicated by advices from his large corps of canvassers. 



This deficiency would best be met by current journalistic literature, but 

 most practitioners have scant access to this almost unlimited source of informa- 

 tion, and the busy practiser has but little time to search out in periodicals the 

 many interesting cases, whose study would doubtless be of inestimable value in his 

 practice. Therefore, a work which places before the physician in convenient form 

 an epitomization of this literature by persons competent to pronounce upon 



The Value of a Discovery or of a Method of Treatment 

 cannot but command his highest appreciation. It is this critical and judicial 

 function that will be assumed by the Editorial staff of the " American Year-Book 

 of Medicine and Surgery." 



It is the special purpose of the Editor, whose experience peculiarly qualifies 

 him for the preparation of this work, not only to review the contributions 

 to American journals, but also the methods and discoveries reported in the 

 leading medical journals of Europe, thus enlarging the survey and making the 

 work characteristically international. These reviews will not simply be a series 

 of undigested abstracts indiscriminately run together, nor will they be retro- 

 spective of "news" one or two years old, but the treatment presented will be 

 synthetic and dogmatic, and will include only what is new. Moreover, through 

 expert condensation by experienced writers, these discussions will be 



COMPRISED IN A SINGLE VOLUME OP ABOUT 1200 PAGES. 



The work will be replete with original and selected illustrations skilfully 

 reproduced, for the most part, in Mr. Saunders' own studios established for the 

 purpose, thus ensuring accuracy in delineation, affording efficient aids to a right 

 comprehension of the text, and adding to the attractiveness of the volume. 



Prices: Cloth, $6.5O, net; Half -Morocco, $7.5O, net.
