must prove admirably adapted. Complete in all its 

 parts, essentially modern in its teachings, and with 

 demonstrations noted for clearness and precision, 

 it will gain in favor and be recognized as a work 

 of standard merit. The work cannot fail to be 

 popular and is cordially recommended. N. O. 

 Med. and Srirg. Journ.. March, 1880. 



It has been well and carefully written. The 

 views of the author are broad and liberal, and in- 

 dicate a well-balanced judgment and matured 

 mind. \Ve observe no spirit of dogmatism, but 

 the earnest teaching of the thoughtful observer 

 and lover of true science. Take the volume as 



The author is broad in his teachings, and dis- 

 cusses briefly the comparative anatomy of the pel- 

 vis and the mobility of the pelvic articulations. 

 The second chapter is devoted especially to 

 the study of the pelvis, while in the third the 

 female organs of generation are introduced. 

 The structure and development of the ovum are 

 admirably described. Then follow chapters upon 

 the various subjects embraced in the study of mid- 

 wifery. The descriptions throughout the work are 

 plain and pleasing. It is sufficient to state that in 

 this, the last edition of this well-known work, every 

 recent advancement in this field has been brought 

 forward. Physician and Surgeon, Jan. 1880.

The author has designed to place in the hands 

 of the young practitioner a book in which he can 

 find necessary information in an instant. As far 

 as we can see, nothing is omitted. The advice is 

 sound, and the proceedures are safe and practical.

SMITH, J. LEWIS, M. D., 



Clinical Professor of Diseases of Children in the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, N. Y. 



A Treatise on the Diseases of Infancy and Childhood. New (sixth) 

 edition, thoroughly revised and rewritten. In one handsome octavo volume of 867 

 pages, with 40 illustrations. Cloth, $4.50; leather, $5.50 ; half Russia, $6.00. Just ready. 



Rarely does a pleasanter task fall to the lot of 

 the bibliographer than to announce the appearance 

 of a new edition of a medical classic like Prof. J. 

 Lewis Smith's Treatise on the Diseases of Infancy 

 and Childhood. For years it has stood high in the 

 confidence of the profession, and with the addi- 

 tions and alterations now made it may be said to 

 be the best book in the language on the subject of 

 which it treats. An examination of the text fully 

 sustains the claims made in the preface, that "in 

 preparing the sixth edition the author has revised 

 the text to such an extent that a considerable 

 part of the book may be considered new." If the 

 young practitioner proposes to place in his library 

 but one book on the diseases of children, we 

 would unhesitatingly say, let that book be the one 

 which is the subject of this notice. The American 

 Journal of the Medical Sciences, April, 1886. 



No better work on children's diseases could be 

 placed in the hands of the student, containing, as 

 it does, a very complete account of the symptoms 

 and pathology of the diseases of early life, and 

 possessing the further advantage, in which it 



stands alone amongst other works on its subject, 

 of recommending treatment in accordance with 

 the most recent therapeutical views. ritish and 

 Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review. 



It is a pleasure to the busy practitioner inter- 

 ested in the advancement of his profession to 

 meet, fresh from the hands of its author, a medi- 

 cal classic such as Smith on Diseases of Children. 

 Those familiar with former editions of the work 

 will readily recognize the painstaking with which 

 this revision has been made. Many of the articles 

 have been entirely rewritten. The whole work is 

 enriched with a research and reasoning which 

 plainly show that the author has spared neither 

 time nor labor in bringing it to its present ap- 

 proach towards perfection. The extended table of 

 contents and the well-prepared index will enable 

 the busy practitioner to reach readily and quickly 

 for reference the various subjects treated of in the 

 body of the work, and even those who are familiar 

 with former editions will find the improvements 

 in the present richly worth the cost of the work.
