Camac's "Epoch-Making Papers"

 (Harvey), Percussion (Auenbrugger), Aus- 

 cultation (Laennec), Anesthesia (Morton), 

 Puerperal Fever (Holmes), Vaccination 

 (Jenner). The portrait of Auenbrugger was

 from the print department of one of the large 

 European Museums. Included also is an 

 autograph letter from the late Sir Joseph 

 Lister. 



Octavo of 43S pages, with portraits. Collected 

 and arranged by C. N. B. Camac, M.D. $4.00 net. 



Keen's Addresses 



Dr. Keen has collected here some of the most 

 important of his addresses, all delivered upon 

 important occasions. These papers possess 

 much historic as well as scientific value. As 

 the Journal of the American Medical Associa- 

 tion says, "Those who know the author need 

 not be told that each paper contains import- 

 ant information or good sound advice or 

 both." Dr. Keen's strong personality is felt 

 on every page. 



By W. W. Keen, M.D., LL.D., Hon. F.R.C.S. 

 (Eng. and Edin.). Octavo of 441 pages. Cloth, 

 $3-7S net. 



In these two handsome volumes you get the 

 biography of every medical worthy who has 

 lived in the United States or Canada between 

 1610 and 1910. In all, some twelve hundred 

 biographies are included — and many rare 

 portraits. The Introduction of some 80 pages 

 will prove extremely interesting as an ad- 

 mirable sketch of American medical history. 

 You get three hundred years of medical 

 progress — and its makers. 

 Two octavos, averaging 525 pages each. By 

 Howard A. Kelly, M.D. Per set: Cloth, $10.00 

 net; Half Morocco, $13.00 net. 



Morris' Essays

 his essays, all written in a most interesting 

 yet instructive style. They are : The Hand

Fenger Memorial Volumes 



These volumes give you all the important 

 papers written by the late Christian Fenger, 

 for many years professor of surgery at Rush 

 Medical College. Not only the papers pub- 

 lished in English are included, but also those 

 that originally appeared in Danish, German, 

 and French. The Johns Hopkins Hospital 

 Bulletin says: "His ability was marked and 

 this collection of papers shows the breadth 

 of his knowledge and interest in his work."
