The distinctive features of Foster's ‘‘ Mustrated Encyclopedic Medical Dictionary” are as follows: 
It is founded on independent reading, and is not a mere compilation from other medical dictionaries, 
consequently its definitions are more accurate. 
Other medical dictionaries have, it is true, been con- 
sulted constantly in its preparation, but what has been found in them has not been accepted’ unless 
scrutiny showed it to be correct. 
lt states the sources of its information, thus enabling the critical reader to provide himself with 
evidence by which to judge of its accuracy, and also in many instances guiding him in any further study 
of the subject that he may wish to make. 
It is the only work of the kind printed in the English language in which pictorial illustrations are used. 
It tells, in regard to every word, what part of speech it be, and does not define nouns as if they were 
adjectives, and vice versa; and it does not give 
Latin nouns.

It contains more English and Latin major headings than any other medical dictionary printed in 
English or Latin, more French ones than any printed in French, and more 
German ones than any 
printed in German, all arranged in a continuous vocabulary. 
The sub-headings are usually arranged under the fundamental word, making it much more encyclo- 
pedic in character than if the common custom had been followed. 
FOTHERGILL. The Diseases of Sedentary and Advanced Life. 
A Work ror MeEpicau AND Lay Reapers. 
By J. Mitwer Foruereitt, 
M.D., M.R.C. P., Physician to the City of London Hospital for Diseases 
of the Chest (Victoria Park) ; late Assistant Physician to the West Lon- 
don Hospital; Hon. M. D., Rush Medical College, Chicago ; Foreign As- 
sociate Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Small 
8vo. 296 pages. Cloth, $2.00. 
“The book is full of useful and wise hints for 
the physician and lay reader, whether an adult or 
already of advanced years, who may, by digesting 
the instruction he finds within its covers, very ma- 
terially lengthen his life.””—Pacifie Medicat and 
Surgical Journal and Western Lancet. 
“Tt is difficult to select from a book of such all- 
round goodness any special points for notice. It 
must suffice to say that it is such a work as the 
physician may not only read himselt’ but especially 
2 
recommend to such of his more intelligent patrons 
as are poems into the sere and yellow leaf.”— 
Medical Age. : 
“The present work is really a valuable one. 
It covers a ground which is usually but lightl 
touched upon by the ordinary text-book. It is full 
of valuable suggestions, and either the old or you 
physician who may take it up will read it through 
with interest and profit.’—Buffalo Medical and 
Surgical Journal.
