D. APPLE TON & CO.'S MEDICAL WORKS. 



55 



" Dr. Gerster has written a valuable and inter- 

 esting book ; valuable in that it gives the details of 

 anti-parasitic surgery in the hands of an adept and 

 an enthusiastic believer in it, and interesting be- 

 cause it is largely a record of personal experience. 

 The profuseness of the illustrations, and their 

 beauty, add much to the value of the work." 

 Philadelphia Medical Times. 



"... The book may be termed a treatise on 

 operative surgical physiology and pathology, if 

 there be no contradiction in this combination of 

 words. Or, it may be said that the book is a series 

 of illustrative sermons on the text, The surgeon's 

 act determines the fate of a fresh wound, and its 

 infection and suppuration are due to his technical 

 faults of omission and commission. . . ." Jour- 

 nal of the American Medical Association. 



" If ever there was a timely book written this is 

 it. ... We need say nothing more of this volume 

 than we have already said to assure our readers that 

 it is one of remarkable value. If it has its equal 

 anywhere we are not aware of it. If anything is 

 needed to make the author's reputation this book 

 will do it, as it will most surely find its way into 

 every town, village, and hamlet in our broad land. 

 .. . ." North Carolina Medical Journal. 



" This is as beautiful a specimen of the book- 

 maker's art as we have seen. . . . The beauty and 

 abundance of the illustrations which are photo- 

 graphs taken during operation add greatly to the 

 practical value of the work. In a word, it is a 

 book which every physician who does any surgical 

 work ought to have." Buffalo Medical and Surgi- 

 cal Journal. 



A TEXT-BOOK OF DISEASES OF THE SKIN. By 

 JOHN V. SHOEMAKER, A. M., M. D., Professor of Dermatology in the 

 Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia. 



8vo. With Six Chromo-Lithographs and numerous Engravings. 

 Cloth, $5.00; sheep, $6.00. 



" . . . It is a treatise on the skin which we can 

 recommend to every physician as a work of refer- 

 ence, and in which he will find the latest views on 

 pathology and treatment. At the end of the work 

 are a number of formulas, which will prove very 

 valuable as a reference. It is certainly a very com- 

 plete book." Canada Lancet. 



" This is an entirely new work upon diseases of 

 the skin, by one who evidently has had very large 

 observation and experience in those affections. 

 . . . Students and physicians will find it well 



adapted to their wants. A proper study of it will 

 give them a very satisfactory knowledge of skin 

 affections." Cincinnati Medical News. 



"... Dr. Shoemaker's excellent work will be 

 especially acceptable to the profession as being free 

 from cumbrous technicality, and as having been 

 prepared to interest and instruct the practitioner, 

 and not to embarrass him with burdensome details 

 that might make the study and the subject a tax 

 rather than a pleasure." College and Clinical 

 Record. 



ELEMENTS OF THERAPEUTICS AND PRACTICE 



ACCORDING TO THE DOSIMETRIC SYSTEM. By Dr. D'OLIVEIRA 



CASTRO. 



8vo, 488 pp. Cloth, $4.00. 



THE NEW YORK MEDICAL JOURNAL VISITING- 

 LIST AND COMPLETE POCKET ACCOUNT-BOOK. Prepared by 

 CHARLES H. SHEARS, A. M., M. D. 



Price, $1.25. 



This List is based upon an entirely new plan, the result of an effort to do away with 

 the defective method of keeping accounts found in all visiting-lists hitherto published. 

 Each page is arranged for the accounts of three patients, to the number of thirty-one 

 visits each, which may have been made during a current month or may extend over a 

 number of months, according to the frequency of the visits. With the simple system 

 here inaugurated, the practitioner can at a glance, and without the trouble of tracing 

 the narrow columns found in the ordinary lists, ascertain the condition of the account 

 of any patient ; when, and how many visits have been made ; what has been paid, and 

 how much is still due. It is provided with an Index, and is, without doubt, the most 

 perfect Visiting-List ever offered to the profession, as it possesses all the advantages 

 without the objectionable features found in all others. ITS USE CAN BE BEGUN AT 



ANY TIME.
