It is

YEARS AGO Writing Paper of ordinary quality was considered good enough generally for polite and select business correspondence in America. MARCUS WARD & Co. succeeded in producing a paper made from the finest material, and placed it before the intelligent American public. From that time "Royal Irish Linen" writing paper became synonymous with all that is considered elegant in correspondence. It grew rapidly in favor, and to-day is deservedly the best-known paper in America's highest circles. At all World's Exhibitions it has been awarded the highest honors, and all the appliances of new machinery and improved methods of manufacture are brought into requisition to maintain the highest standard of excellence. needless to say that owing to its great success, numerous cheap imitations have been placed on the market by unscrupulous makers and dealers, and the prices asked for the cheap stuff is quite as high as should be asked for the genuine "Royal Irish Linen." To avoid all mistakes the name in full is watermarked in each sheet, as may be seen by holding the paper against the light. In any case where the paper is not kept by stationers, samples and prices will be mailed on application to MARCUS WARD & CO. (Limited), 734 Broadway, NEW YORK.

AN ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON HUMAN ANATOMY. New (Second) Edition, Rewritten and Enlarged. Containing 495 Illustrations. By JOSEPH LEIDY, M.D., Professor of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania, etc., etc. 8vo, extra cloth, $6.00; sheep, $6.50.

In the preparation of this great work, Dr. Leidy has given special attention to those parts of the human body, a minute knowledge of which is essential to the successful practitioner of surgery and medicine. The names in most text-books are given in Latin; the author, however, has as far as possible used an English equivalent for such names, the Latin being given in foot notes. Various other improvements, such as long experience has suggested, have also been made in the nomenclature of the science. The illustrations are numerous and largely original, and prepared in the best style of the engraver's art.

As most of the recent text-books of anatomy are very cumbersome, the condensation of this volume is a feature of great merit. The first edition of the work, which has been out of print for many years, was very highly esteemed, and old copies have long commanded extravagant prices. The present edition (entirely rewritten) presents the ripe fruits of Dr. Leidy's experience of many years of successful labor as a teacher and as an original observer and discoverer in anatomical science, and the work will be everywhere recognized as the leading authority on the subjects of which it treats.
