Transparent Anatomical Specimens (SPALTEHOLZ PREPARATIONS)

These exquisite embryological and anatomical specimens, prepared by the Spalteholz method, have excited great admiration wherever demonstrated in our universities, hligh schools, and museums. The specimens are per- fectly transparent and can be viewed either by trans- Mmitted or reflected light. Besides making excellent ex- hibition specimens, they have proved of inestimable value for teaching purposes in Embryology, Physiology and Anatomy, as they show all parts in situ just as they are found in the living animal. Our illustrated leaflet ineludes many preparations of human, pig, cat, rat, and chick specimens.

The doubly-injected cat intestine shown In the illustra- tion clearly demonstrates the course of the blood supply to and from this portion of the digestive tract, the arteries being injected with red and the veins with blue injection mass. Examination with a hand lens discloses the minutest capillaries. We know that these preparations will meet with

FOR VALUE RECEIVED

A GREAT MANY PEOPLE will tell you that the biggest single service that five cents can buy today is a local telephone call. Without question, it is big value . . . and value that steadily grows as new telephones come into your neighborhood.

There are times when telephone service is priceless . . . when the ability to call instantly a doctor, a policeman, or the fire department could not be measured in terms of money.

But it is not alone the emergencies that give the telephone its value. There are the commonplaces of every-day conversation . . . in the home, the shop, the office . . . whenever you wish two-way communica- tion with any one, almost anywhere.

The telephone has become such an every-

day, matter-of-fact convenience-like run- ning water and electricity-that it is natural to take it for granted. It is well to pause occasionally and consider the nation-wide organization of men, money, and materials that makes this vital service possible, and at such low cost.

Here is a system of the public, for the public . . run on the barest margin of profit consistent with service, security, and expansion. A service that grows as the community grows . . . placing within the reach of an increasing number the means to talk back and forth with people in the next block, the next county, a dis- tant state, a foreign country, or on a ship at sea! No other money that you spend can bring you more actual value.
