AN ENTIRELY NEW PHYSICIAN'S VISITING LIST. THE MEDICAL BULLETIN VISITING LIST -OR PHYSICIAN'S CALL RECORD. ARRANGED UPON AN ORIGINAL AND CONVENIENT MONTHLY AND WEEKLY PLAN FOR THE DAILY RECORDING OF PROFESSIONAL VISITS. Frequent Rewriting of Names Unnecessary. THIS VISITING LIST is arranged upon a plan best adapted to the most convenient use of all physicians, and embraces a new feature in recording daily visits not found in any other list, consisting of STUB OR HALF LEAVES IN THE FORM OF INSERTS, a glance at which will suffice to show that as the first week's record of visits is completed the next week's record may be made by simply turning over the stub-leaf, without the necessity of re writing the patients' names. This is done until the month is completed, and the physician has kept his record just as complete in every detail of VISIT, CHARGE, CREDIT, etc., as he could have done had he used any of the old-style visiting lists, and has also SAVED himself three-fourths of the time and labor formerly required in transferring names EVERY week. There are no intricate rulings; everything is easily and quickly understood; not the least amount of time can be lost in comprehending the plan, for it is acquired at a glance. The Three Different Styles Made. The No. 1 Style of this List provides ample space for the DAILY record of seventy (70) different names each month for an entire year (two full pages, thirty-five [35] names to a page, being allowed to each month), so that its size is sufficient for an ordinary practice; but for physicians who prefer a List that will accommodate a larger practice we have made a No. 2 Style, which provides ample space for the daily record of ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE DIFFERENT NAMES (105) each month for an entire year (three full pages being allowed to each month), and for physicians who may prefer a Pocket Record Book of less thickness than either of these styles we have made a No. 3 Style, in which "The Blanks for the Recording of Visits In" have been made into removable sections. These sections are very thin, and are made up so as to answer in full the demand of the largest practice, each section providing ample space for the DAILY RECORD OF TWO HUNDRED AND TEN (210) DIFFERENT NAMES, for one month; or one hundred and five (105) different names daily each month for two months; or seventy (70) different names daily each month for three months; or thirty-five (35) different names daily each month for six months. Four sets of these sections go with each copy of No. 3 Style. Special Features Not Found in Any Other List. In this No. 3 STYLE the PRINTED MATTER, and such matter as the BLANK FORMS FOR ADDRESSES OF PATIENTS, Obstetric Record, Vaccination Record, Cash Account, Births and Deaths Records, etc., are fastened permanently in the back of the book, thus reducing its thickness. The addition of one of these removable sections does not increase the size quite an eighth of an inch. This brings the book into such a small compass that no one can object to it on account of its thickness, as its bulk 14 is VERY MUCH LESS than that of any visiting list ever published. Every physician will at once understand that as soon as a section is full it can be taken out, filed away, and another inserted without the least inconvenience or trouble. This Visiting List contains a Calendar for the last six months of last year, all of this, and next year; Table of Signs to be used in Keeping Accounts; Dr. Ely's Obstetrical Table; Table of Calculating the Number of Doses in a given R, etc., etc.; for converting Apothecaries' Weights and Measures into Grammes; Metrical Avoirdupois and Apothecaries' Weights; Number of Drops in a Fluidrachm; Graduated Doses for Children; Graduated Table for Administering Laudanum; Periods of Eruption of the Teeth; The Average Frequency of the Pulse at Different Ages in Health; Formula and Doses of Hypodermic Medication; Use of the Hypodermic Syringe; Formulæ and Doses of Medicine for Inhalation; Formula for Suppositories for the Rectum; The Use of the Thermometer in Disease; Poisons and their Antidotes; Treatment of Asphyxia; Anti-Emetic Remedies; Nasal Douches; Eye-Washes. Most Convenient Time- and Labor- Saving List Issued. It is evident to every one that this is, beyond question, the best and most convenient time- and labor- saving Physicians' Record Book ever published. Physicians of many years' standing and with large practices pronounce this the Best List they have ever seen. It is handsomely bound in fine, strong leather, with flap, including a pocket for loose memoranda, etc., and is furnished with a Dixon lead-pencil of excellent quality and finish. It is compact and convenient for carrying in the pocket. Size, 4 x 63 inches. IN THREE STYLES-NET PRICES, POST-PAID. No. 1.

"While each page records only a week's visits, yet by an ingenious device of half leaves the names of the patients require to be written but once a month, and a glance at an opening of the book shows the entire visits paid to any individual in a month. It will be found a great convenience."— Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. "Everything about it is easily and quickly understood."-Canadian Practitioner. "Of the many visiting lists before the profession, each has some special feature to recommend it. This list is very ingeniously arranged, as by a series of narrow leaves following a wider one, the name of the patient is written but once during the month, while the account can run for thirty-one -days, space being arranged for a weekly debit and credit summary and for special memoranda, The usual pages for cash account, obstetrical record, addresses, etc., are included. A large amount of miscellaneous information is presented in a condensed form." Occidental Medical Times. "It is a monthly instead of a weekly record, thus obviating the transferring of names oftener than once a month. There is a Dr. and Cr. column following each week's record, enabling the doctor to carry a patient's account for an indefinite time, or until he is discharged, with little trouble."— Indiana Medical Journal. "Accounts can begin and end at any date. Each name can be entered for each day of every month on the same line. To accomplish this, four leaves, little more than one-third as wide as the usual leaf of the book, follow each page. Opposite is a full page for the recording of special memoranda. The usual accompaniments of this class of books are made out with care and fitness." -The American Lancet. "This is a novel list, and an unusually convenient one."-Journal of the Amer. Med. Assoc. "This new candidate for the favor of physicians possesses some unique and useful points. The necessity of rewriting names every week is obviated by a simple contrivance in the make-up of its pages, thus saving much valuable time, besides reducing the bulk of the book."-Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal. "This list is an entirely new departure, and on a plan that renders posting rapid and easy. It is just what we have often wished for, and really fills a long-felt want."-The Medical Waif. "It certainly contains the largest amount of practical knowledge for the medical practitioner in the smallest possible volume, besides enabling the poorest accountant to keep a correct record, and render a correct bill at a moment's notice."Medical Chips.

In our medical colleges the teachers of Obstetrics dwell upon the use of blood-letting (phlebotomy) in cases of puerperal convulsions, and to this method Dr. Michener and his fellows give their unqualified support-not to take a prescribed number of ounces, but to bleed for effect, and from a large orifice. This is plainly and admirably set forth in his book. To bleed requires a cutting instrument,-not necessarily a lancet, for Dr. M. states how in one case a pocket-knife was used and the desired effect produced. Let the young physician gather courage from this little book, and let the more experienced give testimony to confirm its teaching. PROF.

This is the only publication in the English language treating this very important subject in a practical manner. Full instructions are given regarding the mode of applying The Swedish Movement and Massage Treatment in various diseases and conditions of the human system with the greatest degree of effectiveness. Professor Nissen is the best authority in the United States upon this practical phase of this subject, and his book is indispensable to every physician who wishes to know how to use these valuable handmaids of medicine. This manual is valuable to the practitioner, as it contains a terse description of a subject but too little understood in this country. The book is got up very creditably,-N. Y. Med, Jour. The present volume is a modest account of the application of the Swedish Movement and Massage Treatment, in which the technique of the various procedures are clearly stated as well as illustrated in a very excellent manner. -North American Practitioner. This little manual seems to be written by an expert, and to those who desire to know the details connected with 16 the Swedish Movement and Massage we commend the book-Practice. This attractive little book presents the subject in a very practical shape, and makes it possible for every physiciante understand at least how it is applied, if it does not give him dexterity in the art of its application. He can certainly acquire dexterity by following the directions so plainly advised in this book.-Chicago Med. Times. It is so practical and clear in its demonstrations that if you wish a work of this nature you cannot do better than peruse this one.-Medical Brief. (F. A. DAVIS, Medical Publisher, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.A.) JUST READY-THE LATEST AND BEST PHYSICIAN'S ACCOUNTBOOK EVER PUBLISHED. THE PHYSICIAN'S ALL-REQUISITE TIME AND LABOR SAVING Account-Book: BEING A LEDGER AND ACCOUNT-BOOK FOR PHYSICIANS' USE, MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW AND COURTS. DESIGNED BY WILLIAM A. SEIBERT, M.D., PROBAY ROBABLY no class of people lose more money through carelessly kept accounts and overlooked or neglected bills than physicians. Often detained at the bedside of the sick until late at night, or deprived of even a modicum of rest, it is with great difficulty that he spares the time or puts himself in condition to give the same care to his own financial interests that a merchant, a lawyer, or even a farmer devotes. It is then plainly apparent that a system of bookkeeping and accounts that, without sacrificing accuracy, but, on the other hand, ensuring it, at the same time relieves the keeping of a physician's book of half their complexity and two-thirds the labor, is a convenience which will be eagerly welcomed by thousands of overworked physicians. Such a system has at last been devised, and we take pleasure in offering it to the profession in the form of THE PHYSICIAN'S ALL-REQUISITE TIME- AND LABOR SAVING ACCOUNT-Book. There is no exaggeration in stating that this Account-Book and Ledger reduces the labor of keeping your accounts more than one-half, and at the same time secures the greatest degree of accuracy. We may mention a few of the superior advantages of THE PHYSICIAN'S ALLREQUISITE TIME- AND LABOR- SAVING ACCOUNT-BOOK, as follow: First-Will meet all the requirements of the law and courts. Second Self-explanatory; no cipher code. Fourth-No posting; one entry only. time of year, and can be continued indefinitely until every account is filled. Sixth-Absolutely no waste of space. Seventh-One person must needs be sick every day of the year to fill his account, or might be ten years about it and require no more than the space for one account in this ledger. Eighth-Double the number and many times more than the number of accounts in any similar book; the 300-page book contains space for 900 accounts, and the 600-page book contains space for 1800 To all physicians desiring a quick, accurate, and comprehensive method of keeping their accounts, we can safely say that no book as suitable as this one has ever been devised.

(ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, AND ITALIAN.) Specially Arranged for Diagnosis by M. von V. The object of this little work is to meet a need often keenly felt by the busy physician, namely, the need of some quick and reliable method of communicating intelligibly with patients of those nationalities and languages unfamiliar to the practitioner. The plan of the book is a systematic arrangement of questions upon the various branches of Practical Medicine, and each question is so worded that the only answer required of the patient is merely YES or No. The questions are all numbered, and a complete Index renders them always available for quick reference. The book is written by one who is well versed in English, French, German, and Italian, being an excellent teacher in all those languages, and who has also had considerable hospital experience.

To convey some idea of the scope of the questions contained in the Physicians' Interpreter, we append the Index :— . : The work is well done, and calculated to be of great service to those who wish to acquire familiarity with the phrases used in questioning patients. More than this, we believe it would be a great help in acquiring a vocabulary to be used in reading medical books, and that it would furmish an excellent basis for beginning a study of any one of the languages which it includes.-Medical and Surgical Reporter. Many other books of the same sort, with more extensive vocabularies, have been published, but, from their size, and from their being usually devoted to equivalents in English and one other language only, they have not had the advantage which is pre-eminent in this-convenience. It is handsomely printed, and bound in flexible red leather in the form of a diary. It would scarcely make itself felt in one's hip-pocket, and would insure its bearer against any ordinary conversational difficulty in dealing with foreignspeaking people, who are constantly coming into our city hospitals.-New York Medical Journal. In our larger cities, and in the whole Northwest, the physician is constantly meeting with immigrant patients, to whom it is difficult for him to make himself understood, er to know what they say in return. This difficulty will 18 Numbers... .......340-373 ..pages 202-204 be greatly obviated by use of this little work.-The Physician and Surgeon. The phrases are well selected, and one might practice long without requiring more of these languages than this little book furnishes.-Phila, Medical Times. How often the physician is called to attend those with whom the English language is unfamiliar, and many phy sicians are thus deprived of the means, save through an interpreter, of arriving at a correct knowledge on which to base à diagnosis. An interpreter is not always at hand, but with this pocket interpreter in your hand you are able to ask all the questions necessary, and receive the answer in such manner that you will be able to fully comprehend. -The Medical Brief. This little volume is one of the most ingenious aids to the physician which we have seen. We heartily commend the book to any one who, being without a knowledge of the foreign languages, is obliged to treat those who do not know our own language.-St. Louis Courier of Medscine. It will rapidly supersede, for the practical use of the doctor who cannot take the time to learn another language, all other suggestive works.-Chicago Medical Times. (F. A.
