I he idea of publishing diagrams for the exact record of the location and extent of diseased conditions, tumors, etc., found in the Ear and its connections, originated with Professor Burckhardt-Merian. In September, 1882, he laid the accom- panying series of plates before a society of specialists composed of German and Swiss Aurists which was in session at Basle. They were received with much favor and the Professor was urged to put his work into the hands of a bookseller and thus make it accessible to practitioners and students ; this he did and the book was issued by a publisher in Basle. Thinking that what had proved so useful abroad, would find a place in America, we have reproduced these plates. To use the words of Professor B-M.: " The diagrams are intended to furnish outlines which students and practitioners may use to draw in abnormal con- ditions found in the auditory apparatus. " It is unnecessary to say that the upper plate is the view of the Tympanum contained in Politzer's classical Wall Charts. The middle plate is a transverse section indicating also, the position of the Eustachian Tube. This diagram is especially useful in recording the location of polypi. The lower plate (horizontal) exhibits the Eustachian Tube, Caro- tid Canal, Antrum, Mastoid Cells, Lateral Sinus, etc., and shows at a glance, the anatomical relations so important in disease of the Mastoid Cells." The diagrams for the left ear are marked L; those for the right, R. A. E. WILDE & CO. ;> 8 7 0 3 0 „.-<) ( (5--\ (■? >' (5^; 0-2 54 r THERAPEUTIC GAZETTE. Detroit; Oct. 1882. The publishers have well fulfilled their promise and we take great pleasure in commending it to our readers generally and to the student and young practitioner particularly. THE PHYSICIANS' AND SURGEONS' INVESTIGATOR. Bupfalo, N. Y., Aug. 1882. Wilde's Obstetric plates, trite to nature and beautiful in execution, come to the profession as an ocular teacher of the theme that the "word"-teacher presents. 'While the latter is necessary, yet th«, former leaves an im- pression that strikes so deep that it can not be lost. So far as "picture"- art makes it possible, the different phases of pregnancy, the different stages, presentations and mechanisms of labot, the various instrumental appliances and methods of use, the principal obstetric operations are all seen.in these plates. MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MEDICAL MONTHLY. Memphis, Ten., July, 1882. To the medical student, and more especially to the obstetrician and gynecologist the work is invaluable, as the.plates and accompanying text convey a much better knowledge of the eubjects than can be-gai-ned from any other source. QUARTERLY EPYTOME OF AMERICAN PRACTICAL MEDICINE; AND SURGERY. New York, June, 1882, By reference to the list of sources from which they have been compiled, it will be seen that the whole world of Obstetric literature has been ran- sacked—going back into the. last century—and the work itself shows that the choicest specimens of art by the ablest Gynecological and Obstetric masters have been utilized and aggregated in one grand volume, PACIFIC MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL. San' Francisco, July, 1882. One important consideration will present itself to the purchaser, virr that it« value is permanent, and that it cannot be superceded by "new and improved editions," like didactic and other rnedical publications which, owing to new developments, last but for a'season. NEW YORK MEDICAL RECORD. New York> Sept., r882. It is an admirable atlas, and will doubtless ffnd much favor among general practitioners who do much in .gynecology and obstetrics. NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL JOURNAL. July, 1882. This is a valuable work for reference and study, and will be a welcome volume upon the table of the physician. THE AMERICAN PRACTITIONER. July, 18S1. ' ■ We can confidently advice the purchase of this series as a wise.invest- ment oil the part of any practitioner engaged in obstetrics and diseases of women. It is to be hoped, the publisher will meet with a liberal support from the profession. — ATLAS — — OF — Human Anatomy, - U BY — « DRS.

P. S. CONNER. Prof, op Surgical Anatomy and Clinical Surgery, . Medical College-of Qjuo. The copy of the Atlas of Human Anatomy kindly sent me has been received, and the examination of it*has given me much, pleasare. The plates are exceedingly well drawn and printed. I wish you all success in your enterprise, and heartily recommend "your Atlas to both practi- tioners and students From DR. ROBERTS BARTHOLOW. Philadelphia.^ I have examined the Anatomical plates which you ^ent me. They are anatomically accurate, and are highly finished and artistic. PACIFIC MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL. San Francisco. The plates are scarcely excelled by the real subject, in the vivid impres- sion they convey of structure of the parts represented. With their aid j one can almost study Anatomy quite effectively without directions. CINCINNATI LANCET AND CLINIC. ,1'his work is exceedingly comprehensive. The first part is a most admirable work of art, and stamps the engraver as an artist of rare ability His work is,true to nature, and clearly defines each tissue, organ and part- in a manner that brings before the eye an image of the component parts of the Body. To the student this will prove »o be one of the greatest helps offered him in the ordinarily dry study of Anatomy. To the practitioner and especially to men located in small cities and towns, who cannot have ' recourse to a dissecting-room at will, this must be a work of estimable value. To the city practicioner it wiU be of the greatest assistance. When seen it will at once be appreciated. We heartily recommend the enterprise. JUN .3 ^
