LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OF INFANCY AND CHILD- 

 HOOD. Fourth American from the fifth revised and enlarged English edition. In one 

 large and handsome octavo volume of 656 closely-printed pages. Extra cloth, $4 50 ; 

 leather, $5 50. (Just issued.) 



This work may now fairly claim the position of a standard authority and medical classic. Five 

 editions in England, four in America, four in Germany, and translations in French, Danish, 

 Dutch, and Russian, show how fully it has met the wants of the profession by the soundness of its 

 views and the clearness with which they are presented. Few practitioners, indeed, have had the 

 opportunities of observation and experience enjoyed by the Author. In his Preface he remarks, 

 " The present edition embodies the results of 1200 recorded cases and of nearly 400 post-mortem 

 examinations, collected from between 30,000 and 40,000 children, who, during the past twenty- 

 six years, have come under my care, either in public or in private practice." The universal favor 

 with which the work has been received shows that the author has made good use of these unusuul 

 advantages. 



Of all the English writers on the diseases of chil- 

 dren, there is no one so entirely satisfactory to us as 

 Dr. West. For years we have held his opinion as 

 judicial, and have regarded him as one of the highest 

 living authorities in the difficult department of medi- 

 cal science in which he is most widely known. His 

 writings are characterized by a sound, practical com- 

 mon sense, at the same time that they bear the marks 

 of the most laborious study and investigation. We 

 commend it to all as a most reliable adviser on many 

 occasions when many treatises on the same subjects 

 will utterly fail to help us. It is supplied with a very 

 copious general index, and a special index to the for- 

 mulae scattered throughout the work. Boston Med. 

 and Surg. Journal, April 26, 1866. 



Dr. West's volume is, in our opinion, incomparably 

 the best authority upon the maladies of children 

 that the practitioner can consult. Withal, too a 

 minor matter, truly, but still not one that should be 

 neglected Dr. West's composition possesses a pecu- 

 liar charm, beauty and clearness of expression, thus 

 affording the reader much pleasure, even independent 

 of that which arises from the acquisition of valuable 

 truths. Cincinnati Jour, of Medicine, March, 1866. 



We have long regarded it as the most scientific and 

 practical book on diseases of children which has yet 

 appeared in this country. Buffalo Medical Journal. 



Dr. West's book is the best that has ever been 

 written in the English language on the diseases of 



infancy and <hildhood. Columbus Review of Mtd. 

 and Surgery. 



To occupy in medical literature, in regard to dis- 

 j eases of children the enviable position which Dr. 

 i Watson's treatise does on the diseases of adults is 

 I now very generally assigned to our author, and his 

 J book is in the hands of the profession everyAvhere as 

 j an original work of great value. Md. and Va. Med. 

 j and Surg. Journal. 



Dr. West's works need no recommendation at this 

 date from any hands. The volume before us, espe- 

 cially, has won for itself a large and well-deserved 

 popularity among the profession, wherever the Eng- 

 lish tongue is spoken. Many years will elapse before 

 it will be replaced in public estimation by any similar 

 treatise, and seldom again will the same subject he 

 discussed in a clearer, more vigorous, or pleasing 

 style, with equal simplicity and power. Charleston 

 Med. Jour, and Review. 



There is no part of the volume, no subject on which 

 it treats which does not exhibit the keen perception, 

 the clear judgment, and the sound reasoning of tlie 

 author. It will be found a most useful guide to tLe 

 young practitioner, directing him in his management 

 of children's diseases in the clearest possible mannf r, 

 and enlightening him on many a dubious pathological 

 point, while the older one will find in it many a sug- 

 gestion and practical hint of great value Brit. Am.

QONDIE (D. FRANCIS), M. D. 



A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF CHILDREN. 



Fifth edition, revised and augmented. In one large octavo volume of over 750 closely- 

 printed pages, extra cloth. $4 50. 



Dr. Condie's scholarship, acumen, industry, and 

 practical sense are manifested in this, as in all his 

 numerous contributions to science. Dr. Holmes' s 

 Report to the American Medical Association. 



Taken as a whole, in our judgment, Dr. Condie's 

 treatise is the one from the perusal of which the 

 practitioner in this country will rise with the great- 

 est satisfaction. Western Journal of Medicine and 

 Surgery. 



We pronounced the first edition to be the best work 



on the diseases of children in the English language, 

 and, notwithstanding all that has been published, we 

 still regard it in that light. Medical Examiner. 



The value of works by native authors on the dis- 

 eases which the physician in called upon to combat 

 will be appreciated by all, and the work of Dr. Con- 

 die has gained for itself the character of a safe guide 

 for students, and a useful work for consultation by 

 those engaged in practice.^. Y. Med. Times.
