American Illustrated Dictionary Recently Issued New (4th) Edition |
The American Illustrated Medical Dictionary. A new and complete dictionary of the terms used in Medicine, Surgery, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Chemistry, and kindred branches; with over 100 new and elaborate tables and many handsome illustrations. By W. A. Newman Dorland, M. D., Editor of “The American Pocket Medical Dictionary.” Large octavo, nearly 850 pages, bound in full flexible leather. Price, $4.50 net; with thumb index, $5.00 net. Gives a Maximum Amount of Matter in a Minimum Space, and at the Lowest Possible Cost
WITH 2000 NEW TERMS The immediate success of this work is due to the special features that distinguish it from other books of its kind. It gives a maximum of matter in a minimum space and at the lowest possible cost. Though it is practically unabridged, yet by the use of thin bible paper and flexible morocco binding it is only 1¾ inches thick. The result is a truly luxurious specimen of book-making. In this new edition the book has been thoroughly revised, and upward of two thousand new terms that have appeared in recent medical literature have been added, thus bringing the book absolutely up to date. The book contains hundreds of terms not to be found in any other dictionary, over 100 original tables, and many handsome illustrations, a number in colors. PERSONAL OPINIONS Howard A. Kelly, M. D., Professor of Gynecology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. “Dr. Dorland’s dictionary is admirable. It is so well gotten up and of such convenient size. No errors have been found in my use of it.” J. Collins Warren, M.D., LL.D., F.R.C.S. (Hon.), Professor of Surgery, Harvard Medical School. “I regard it as a valuable aid to my medical literary work. It is very complete and of convenient size to handle comfortably. I use it in preference to any other.”
