Physician's Visiting-List for 1898. Philadelphia: P. Blakiston, Son & Co.
"Forty-seventh year of its publication," quoted from the title-page, speaks in no uncertain voice for any publication. Blakiston's List is as much of a standard in its line as we hope to see Dr. Duhring's new work become. It is of convenient size, and contains a heading for all the bookkeeping details most men need ever do, court decisions to the contrary, notwithstanding. No changes from the '97 edition are noted; they were not needed. The price ranges upward from $1.00.
