SPECIMENS OF ILLUSTRATIONS. 
“. . . 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 formule, which will prove very 
valuable as a reference. It is certainly a very com- 
plete book.”— Canada Lancet, 
“This is an entirely new work awe 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 profes- 
sion as being free from cumbrous techni- 
eality, 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. 
“ This treatise, by a well-known writer 
and authority upon diseases of the skin, 
will doubtless receive a warm welcome 
from the profession. It is everything a 
text-book should be, concise, clear, ex- 
haustive, and well illustrated. We un- 
hesitatingly recommend it to all physicians 
and_students.”’ — Nashville Dubna of 
Medicine. 
“ Every practitioner has frequent need 
for a concise, practical, and reliable guide 
in the diagnosis and treatment of skin 
diseases—a book free from the cumbrous 
technicalities which oftener mislead than 
instruct. Such is the work before us, ard 
we think our readers will thank us for 
advising them to buy it, if they desire a good 
authority on diseases of the skin.’’— Practice, 
“Of the many works issued in the past few 
years on dermatology, Dr. Shoemaker’s book bids 
fair to rival its predecessors in this particular 
branch of medical science. Every part is quite up 
to the requirements of a modern book of refer- 
ence, and the whole is agreeably stumped with the 
individuality of the author, showing clearly that it 
is not a mere compilation but is the product of an 
original investigator and an experienced observer. 
The excellent work ot’ Appleton & Co. is apparent 
in the binding and typographical part.”— Western 
Medical Reporter. 
“No Liat pea in this country is better fitted, 
by persona expanience, to give the profession a 
text-book on skin diseases than Dr. Shoemaker, 
The work before us is one of great merit, and is a 
complete treatise on the whole subject. It has a 
number of beautifully colored plates illustrating 
the text. No class of diseases is so troublesome as 
that of the skin, and this valuable book will be 
welcomed by the profession.’’—Southern Clinic, 
‘A very careful examination leads to the con- 
clusion that Shoemaker’s ‘ Diseases of the Skin’ is 
destined to become the leading work of its kind in 
America.”—ansas City Medical Index. 
‘For the general practitioner, this is the text- 
book he should adopt for practical purposes. De- 
scriptions are good; diagnostic points between 
diseases bearing a similar phase are clearly made; 
the drawings well delineate the distinctive features 
of special diseases ; and, above all, the therapeutics 
suited io given cases are well indicated.”— Vir. 
ginia Medical Monthly. 
“We shall not be accused of over-patriotic 
zeal if’ we recommend Dr. Shoemaker’s book as 
the preferable one for American physicians: and 
students. His style is simplicity itself, and there- 
in has he scored his greatest success over other 
authors we might name.”—AMedical Record.
