the derivation or etymology of the
words. In some dictionaries the etymology occupies only a
secondary place, in many cases no derivation being given at
all. In the American Illustrated practically every word is
given its derivation.

Every word has a separate paragraph, thus making it easy to
find a word quickly.

The tables of arteries, muscles, nerves, veins, etc., are of
the greatest help in assembling anatomic facts. In them are
classified for quick study all the necessary information
about the various structures.

Every word is given its definition--a definition that
_defines_ in the fewest possible words. In some dictionaries
hundreds of words are not defined at all, referring the
reader to some other source for the information he wants at
once.

"The American Illustrated Dictionary is admirable. It is so
well gotten up and of such convenient size. No errors have
been found in my use of it."

"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."

In this work the practical application of pathologic facts
to clinical medicine is considered more fully than is
customary in works on pathology. While the subject of
pathology is treated in the broadest way consistent with the
size of the book, an effort has been made to present the
subject from the point of view of the clinician. In the
second part of the work the pathology of individual organs
and tissues is treated systematically and quite fully under
subheadings that clearly indicate the subject-matter to be
found on each page. In this edition the section dealing with
General Pathology has been most extensively revised, several
