 delphia ; Vice-President of the American Paediatric Society ; Ex-President

 pages, with two large half-tone illustrations, and a plate prepared by Dr. 

 McClellan from special dissections ; also, numerous cuts to elucidate the text. 

 Price, in Cloth, $2.00 net. 



" This is by far the most useful book which has yet appeared on insurance examination, a sub- 

 ject of growing interest and importance. Not the least valuable portion of the volume is Part II., 

 which consists of instructions issued to their examining physicians by twenty-four representative 

 companies of this country. As the proofs of these instructions were corrected by the directors of 

 the companies, they form the latest instructions obtainable. If for these alone the book should be 

 at the right hand of every physician interested in this special branch of medical science." The 

 Medical News, Philadelphia.

 ratum with those intrusted with the management of hospitals and the instruction

 who desires to acquire a practical working knowledge of the care of the sick and 

 the hygiene of the sick-room.
