Philadelphia. PUBLISHERS' PREFACE. 
This little book has been prepared by a medical 
man, a teacher and a writer/ of experience, with 
special reference to the actual wants of the medical 
student. By its help the student can successfully 
quiz himself on all the important branches, or review 
any one subject in which he feels himself to be par- 
ticularly deficient. 
As a rule the questions have been selected with 
regard to their bearing upon practical medicine, and 
are those most likely to be asked in the quiz-class or 
examination-room; at the same time there are, 
throughout the book, many unusual ones, thus giving 
the student a wide range of thought, and making 
him generally conversant with all points connected 
with the matter in hand. 
In self-examination it is of great importance that 
the questions and replies should not be given in the 
same place; if they are, the student is tempted to

publishers' preface. 
slur over those he is unable to answer, or to cheat 
himself into the belief that he knows the answer 
before he reads it. There is also the tendency to 
learn by rote without the exercise of the understand- 
ing, so that, should the question be put in a different 
way the reply could not be given. To avoid these 
errors, and, should he wish it, to still refer the 
student to the correct reply, a system of references 
(explained on page viii) has been adopted, by which 
the student, with the least expenditure of time and 
trouble, can look up the subject in a standard book, 
and thus impress it firmly upon his mind. 
In order that future editions may be increased in 
usefulness, and adapted even more closely to the 
lines of study generally pursued, the publishers in 
vite suggestions and criticisms from all those students 
who use the book. CONTENTS.

Explanatory Note.-The correct replies to the fol- 
lowing questions will be found in the above books, the 
figures or letters after each question referring first to the 
number of the volume in the above list, then to the page. 
For example, the correct reply to the second question 
(a-35 ; 1-9) will be found on page 35 of Gray's Anatomy, 
and on page 9 of Potter's Compend of Anatomy. The 
majority of references have been made in Blakiston's 
Quiz-Compends, because almost all students use these 
books, and the replies are there given in the most concise 
and complete manner. The Student will also find much 
additional information by referring to Gould's Diction- 
ary for definitions of all important words, and by con- 
sulting the tables of the muscles, arteries, nerves, ganglia, 
etc., contained therein.

1891-92. SPECIAL NOTICE. 
In preparing, revising and improving Blakiston's 
? Quiz-Compends ? the particular wants of the student 
have always been kept in mind. 
Careful attention has been given to the construction of 
each sentence, and while the books will be found to con- 
tain an immense amount of knowledge, in small space, 
they will likewise be found easy reading; there is no 
stilted repetition of words; the style is clear, lucid and 
distinct. The arrangement of subjects is systematic 
and thorough; there is a reason for every word. 
No series of books are so well suited for the purpose 
intended. They contain everything likely to be touched 
upon in any ordinary course of lectures, and by their 
proper use no student need fail to become proficient. 
The strongest point in their favor is, perhaps, the fact 
that each book, except the four new ones, has had the 
benefit of being revised, several of them as often as four 
times. By revising we do not mean simply reprinted 
with a new date on the title page, but a studied effort, on 
the part of each author, to make his book more useful to 
the student, by rewriting whole sections, inserting new 
material and illustrations, and rearranging wherever his 
extended experience suggests improvements. 
The Illustrations, of which there are over four 
hundred, have been made a special feature; many of them 
were drawn or prepared on purpose to illustrate important 
points. The Sixteen Lithographed Charts of 
the nerves and arteries, added to the new edition of 
"Anatomy," are unique in their conception, and (see 
page 3) will be found of great value to the student by 
enabling him to firmly fix. in his mind these very intri- 
cate parts of the Anatomy. 
The price of each book is one dollar ($1.00). There 
has been no advance in price, though several have been 
increased to twice the original size, and contain double 
the number of engravings. BLAKISTON'S ? QUIZ-COMPENDS ?

No. 1. ANATOMY. 5th Edition. 117 Illustra- 
tions, and 16 Lithograph Plates. 
A Compend of Human Anatomy, including the 
Viscera. {Based on Gray.) By Saml. 0. L. Potter, 
m.a., m.d., m.r.c.p. (Lond.), late A. A. Surg. U. S. 
Army; Professor of the Practice of Medicine, Cooper 
Medical College, San Francisco. Revised and En- 
larged. 12mo.

Interleaved, for the addition of notes, 1.25 
*** An Appendix has been added to this edition, con- 
taining 16 Lithographic Plates of the Arterial and Ner- 
vous Systems, with explanatory tables that will be found 
exceedingly useful and practical. We would call special 
attention to these tables, as being entirely original in 
design and arrangement, giving graphic views of the 
most difficult part of Human Anatomy, and including 
anastomoses (the arteries) and distribution (the arteries 
and nerves); a thing never before shown completely in 
tabular form. The different types are so arranged as to 
grade the branches according to relative importance, and 
by the systematic and ingenious use of brackets with 
various types, the tables are veritable pictures themselves 
of their objects. 
As ilhistrations, refer to the Circle of Willis (p. 240), 
and the second Cranial Nerve (p. 258). In the latter, 
each fibre is followed out from its origin in the basal 
cerebrum to its retinal or other distribution, and the 
retinal supply is delineated as clearly as by pages of 
descriptive text. 
Again on p. 268, the Spinal Nerves. Each pair is fol- 
lowed from the centre of the table both ways, to the left 
for the posterior division, to the right for the anterior 
division, outwards to the final distribution of each set in 
the muscles or integument. 4

POTTER'S ANATOMY-.-Continued. 
Dr. Potte'-'s power of condensation and argument, have 
never been displayed to such advantage as in these tables, 
which must take their proper place as the best of all 
attempts of the kind, even in the restricted space of 
pages the size of which was previously determined, and 
to which the tables had to conform. 
The plates are equally original, having been made from 
new drawings by Dr. Potter's own hand; they are graphic 
delineations, and being diagrammatic, do not represent 
the exact forms or proportion of the parts thus shown. 
If colored by hand, by the student, as may be done with 
very little trouble, their value will be greatly increased. 
From The Edinburgh Medical Journal. 
" This is, in its way, a wonderful little book, com- 
prising within its pages a more or less complete account 
of every part of the human body, not even omitting the 
histology of the tissues and organs." 
From The Canada Lancet. 
" Contains many useful hints and aids to memory not 
found in ordinary works." 
From The North Carolina Medical Journal. 
" The arrangement is well calculated to facilitate accu- 
rate memorizing, and the illustrations are clear and 
good."

pecially full and a number of valuable prescriptions have 
been incorporated. Reference has been made to the 
latest writings and teachings of Drs. Flint, Roberts, 
Loomis, Bartholow, DaCosta, etc. Dr. Hughes' long 
experience as demonstrator of clinical medicine 
under the last named famous professors has given 
him unrivaled opportunities for the preparation of 
a book of this character. The fourth edition has 
been much improved.

From Edward T. Bruen, M.D., late Assistant Professor of 
Clinical Medicine, Medical Dep't, University of Penn-

Clinical Medicine, now Lecturer on Materia Med tea, 
Rush Medical College, Chicago. 
" Meets with my hearty approbation as a substitute for 
the ordinary note books almost universally used by 
medical students. It is concise, accurate, well ar-

From The Medical and Surgical Reporter. 
" This is an admirable compend of physiology, includ- 
ing enough of anatomy to fit it especially for the use of 
students of medicine. It has been prepared by one who 
is fully fitted by his work as Demonstrator in the Jeffer- 
son Medical College, and as Professor of Physiology in 
the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery, and by his 
experience as quiz-master, to compile such a book, and it 
has proved its utility by the acceptance it has already 
found. Its style is clear and distinct, its teachings are 
sound, and it is well suited to the purpose for which it 
is intended." 
From The Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal. 
" Supplies a real want among students. It is a true 
compend." 
From C. L. Ford, M.D., Professor of Anatomyand Bean

can at once familiarize himself with the source, compo- 
sition, preparation, doses, physiological action, thera- 
peutics, etc., of all the innumerable drugs, both officinal 
and unofficinal. Following the description of each 
drug, there is a list of diseases in the treatment of 
which it is particularly indicated. 
From J. S. B. Alleyne, M.D., Dean of the Faculty and Pro- 
fessor of Therapeutics and Materia Medica, St. Louis 
Medical College. 
" I find it an admirable digest of the works referred to 
in the preface, and as such a great aid to the student and 
practitioner." 
From The Polyclinic. 
" Dr. Potter has gathered together much that will be 
of service to students preparing for their examinations. 
. . . The physiological actions of drugs are well de- 
scribed. . . . Summaries of the diseases for which each 
drug is used are given. . . . The chapter on incom-

" The book is written in a clear and forcible style, and 
every word it contains has reason for its insertion; a 
large proportion is devoted to refraction. This is as it 
should be, as refraction is rapidly becoming a subject in 
which the general practitioner should be able to make a 
diagnosis at least. The chapter upon operations is clear, 
concise and accurate." 
From Dr. E. L. Holmes, Professor of Diseases of the Eye,

From The American Practitioner and News. 
" The little work before us, of which two editions have 
already been sold, has been rewritten and adapted to the 
antiseptic views which are held by nearly all surgeons 
of distinction. The subject-matter is well proportioned 
in the work, and full as much is embraced as is required 
in a compend intended to be used for examinations and 
in quizzing." 
From The Southern California Practitioner. 
" Dr. Horwitz has prepared a remarkably concise and 
complete summary of surgery. The student, in the 
anxious time immediately preceding examination, will 
feel grateful to him. A reference to the pages on anti- 
sepsis, will show how conscientiously the laborious task 
has been done." 12

" This is one of the best of the excellent series of quiz-

Endeavored to place in small compass a large amount of 
matter, and by great condensation of text, with the ex- 
pr<«sion of the properties of groups of bodies in the 
tai*'!lar form, he has succeeded. The work embraces a 
rar\ge of subjects so wide as to make it useful to the 
student in following a course of lectures in medical 
chemistry, while sufficient attention is given to manipu- 
htion and the more practicable tests to fit it admirably 
for service as a laboratory manual."
