    AN ENTIRELY NEW PHYSICIANS VISITING LIST. ===== THE Medical Bulletin Visiting List OR PHYSICIAN’S 0ALL PECORD. ARRANGED UPON AN ORIGINAL AND CONVENIENT MONTHLY AND WEEKLY PLAN FOR THE DAILY RECORDING OF PROFESSIONAL VISITS. Frequent Rewriting of Names Unnecessary. This Visiting List is arranged upon a plan best adapted to the most convenient use of all physicians, and embraces a new feature in recording daity visits not found in any other list, consisting of stub or half leaves in the form of inserts, a glance at which will suffice to show that as the first week’s record of visits is completed the next week’s record may be made by simply turning over the stub-leaf, without the necessity of re- writing the patients’ names. This is done until the month is completed, and the physician has kept his record just as complete in every detail of visit, charge, credit, etc., as he could have done had he used any of the old-styde visiting lists, and has also saved himself three-fourths of the time and labor formerly required in transferring names every week. There are no intricate rulings; everything is easily and quickly under- stood ; not the least amount of time can be lost in comprehending the plan, for it is acquired at a glance. The Three Different Styles Made. The No, 1 Style of this List provides ample space for the daily record of seventy (70) different names each month for an entire year (two full pages, thirty-five [35] names to a page, being allowed to each month), so that its size is sufficient for an ordinary practice; but for physicians who prefer a List that will accommodate a larger practice we have made a No, 2 Style9 which provides ample space for the daily record of one hundred and five different names (105) each month for an entire year (three full pages being allowed to each month), and for physicians who may prefer a Pocket Record Book of less thickness than either of these styles we have made a No, 3 Style9 in which “ The Blanks for the Recording of Visits In ” have been made into removable sections. These sections are very thin, and are made up so as to answer in full the demand of the largest practice, each section providing ample space for the daily record of two hundred and ten (210) different names for one month; or one hundred and five (105) different names daily each month for two months; or seventy (70) different names daily each month for three months; or thirty-five (35) different names daily each month for six months. Four sets of these sections go with each copy of No. 3 Style. Special Features Not Found in Any Other List. In this No. 3 Style the printed matter, and such matter as the blank forms for Addresses of Patients, Obstetric Record, Vaccination Record, Cash Account, Births and Deaths Records, etc., are fastened permanently in the back of the book, thus reducing its thickness. The addition of one of these removable sections does not increase the size * quite an eighth of an inch. This brings the book into such a small com- pass that no one can object to it on account of its thickness, as its bulk
