This is a unique and valuable work, and useful to physicians in all parts of the country. It is just such 

 .-a volume as the Medical Profession have stood in need of for many years. We mention a few of the merits 

 it possesses: First. List of all the Health Resorts of the country, arranged according to their climate. 

 -Second. Contains just the information needed by totuisls, invalids, and those who visit summer or winter 

 resorts. Third. The latest and best large railroad map for reference. Fourth. It indicates the climate 

 -each one should select for health. Fifth. The author has traveled extensively, and most of his suggestions 

 are practical in reference to-localities. 



Taken altogether, this is by far the most complete ex- 

 position of the subject of resortfl that has yet been put 

 forth, and it is one that every physician must needs possess 

 intelligent information upon. We predict a large demand 

 •for this useful and attractive book. — Buffalo Med. and 

 Surg. Jour. 



The special chapter on the therapeutics of climate . . 

 is excellent for its precautionary suggestions in the selee- 

 _ bion of climates and local conditions, with reference to 

 " Tcnown pathological indications and constitutional predis- 

 positions. — The Sanitarian. 



It is arranged in such a manner that it will be of "gre"at 

 service to medical men whose duty it often becomes to rec- 

 ommend a health resort. — N. W. Med. Jour. ■ 



A well-arranged map of the United States serves as the 

 frontispiece of the book ; and an almost perfect index is 

 appended, while* between the two is an amount of informa- 

 tion as to places for the health-seeker that cannot be gotten 

 -elsewhere. "We most cordially recommend the book to 

 travelers and to the doctor. — Virginia Med. Monthly. 



This is a work that has long been needed, as there is 

 scarcely a physician who has not had occasion to look up 

 the authorities on climate, elevation, dryness, humidity, 

 •etc ,'etc., of the various health resorts, and has had great 

 -difficulty in finding reliable information. It certainly 



ought, as it deserves, to receive a hearty welcome from the 

 profession.— Medical Advance. 



The book before us is a very comprehensive volume, , 

 giving all necessary information concerning climate, tern- ' 

 perature, humidity, sunshine, and indeed everything neces- 

 sary to be stated for the benefit of the physician or invalid 

 seeking a health resort in the United States. — Southern 

 Clinic. 



This work is extremely valuable, owing to the liberal 

 and accurate manner in which it gives information regard- 

 ing the various resorts on the American continent, without 

 being prejudiced in the least in favor of any particular one, 

 but giving all in a fair manner. . . . All physicians 

 need just such a work, for the doctor is always! asked to 

 give 'information on the subject to his patients. Therefore, 

 it should fitad a place in every physician's library.— The 

 Med. Brief. 



The author of this admirable work has long made a 

 study of American climate, from the stand-point of a phy- 

 sician, with a view to ascertaining the most suitable locali- 

 ties for the residence of invalids, believing proper climate 

 to be an almost indispensable factor in the treatment, pre- 

 vention, and cure of many forms of disease. . ■ . The 

 book evidences careful research and furnishes much useful 

 information not to be found elsewhere.— Pacific Med. Jour.

RECORD-BOOK OF MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS 



For Life Insurance. 



IDesigrn-ed. isyr JOZZJZT JUL. ISIE.A.TIIfcTOS-, ^£.X). 



In examining for Life Insurance, questions are easily overlooked and the answers to 

 -ttrem omitted ; and, as these questions are indispensable, they must be answered before the 

 •ease can be acted upon, and the examiner is often put to much inconvenience to obtain' 

 -this information. 



. The need has long bee"n felt among examiners for a reference-book in which could be 

 noted the principal points of an examination, and thereby obviate the necessity of a 

 second visit to the applicant when further information is required. 



After a careful study of all the forms of examination blanks now used by Insurance 

 Companies, Dr. J. M. Keating has compiled such a record-book which we are sure will fill 

 this long-felt want. 



-This record-book is small, neat, and complete, and embraces all the principal points 

 that are required by the different companies. It is made in two sizes, viz. : No. 1, cover- 

 ing one hundred (100) examinations, and No. 2, covering two hundred (200) examina- 

 tions. The size of the book is 7x3f inches, and can be conveniently carried in the 



pocket. ■
