IT DEFINES ALL THE NEW WORDS - IT IS UP TO DATE
The American Illustrated Medical Dictionary defines hundreds of the newest terms not defined in any other dictionary - bar none. These new terms are live, active words, taken right from modern medical literature.
It gives the capitalization and pronunciation of all words. It makes a feature of the derivation or etymology of the words. In some dictionaries the etymology occupies only a secondary place, in many cases no derivation being given at all. In the American Illustrated practically every word is given its derivation.
Every word has a separate paragraph, thus making it easy to find a word quickly.
The tables of arteries, muscles, nerves, veins, etc., are of the greatest help in assembling anatomic facts. In them are classified for quick study all the necessary information about the various structures.
Every word is given its definition a definition that defines in the fewest possible words. In some dictionaries hundreds of words are not defined at all, referring the reader to some other source for the information he wants at once.
