BIEIGS ON FEMALES, New andjmproved Edition (Lately Issued,) 



WOMAN; HER DISEASES" ANO THEIR REMEDIES; 



A SERIES OF LETTERS TO HIS CLASS. 



BY C. B. MEIGS, M. B., 



Professor of Midwifery and Diseases of Women and Children in the Jefferson Medical College of 



Philadelphia, &c. &c. 



In one large and beautifully printed octavo volume, of nearly seven hundred large pages. 

 " I am happy to offer to my Class an enlarged and amended edition of my Letters on the Pis- 

 eases of Women ; and I avail myself of this occasion to return my heartfelt thanks to them, and 

 to our brethren generally, for the flattering manner in which they have accepted this fruit of my 

 labor"-- 



The value attached to this work by the profession is sufficiently proved by the rapid ex- 

 haustion of the first edition, and consequent demand for a second. In preparing this the 

 author has availed himself of the opportunity thoroughly to revise and greatly to improve 

 it. The work will therefore be found completely brought up to the day, and in every way 

 worthy of the reputation which it has so immediately obtained. 



Professor Meigs has enlarged and amended this great work, for such it unquestionably is. having passed 

 the ordeal of criticism at home and abroad, but been improved thereby ; for in Ihis new ed.tion the author 

 has introduced real improvements, and increased the value and utiliiy of the book immeasurably. It presents 

 so many novel; bright and sparkling thoughts; such an exuberance of new ideas on almost every pa^e, 

 that we confess ourselves to have become enamored with the book and its author; end cannot withhold 

 our congratulations from our Philadelphia confreres, that such a teacher is in their service. We regret that 

 our limits will not allow of a more extended notice of this work, but mu>t content our.-elves with thus corn- 

 mending it as worthy of diligent perusal by physicians as well as students, who are seekingto be thoroughly 

 instructed in the important practical subjects of which it treats N. Y. Med. Gazette. 



It contains a vast amount of practical knowledge, by one who has accurately observed and retained the 

 experience of many years, and who tells the result in. a free, familiar, and pleasant manner. Dublin Quar- 

 terly Journal. 



There is an off-hand fervor, a glow and a warm-heartedness infecting the effort of Dr. Meigs, which is en- 

 tirely captivating, and which absolutely hurries the reader through from beginning to end. Besides, the 

 book teems with solid instruction, and it shows the very highest evidence of ability, viz., the clearness with 

 which the information is presented. We know of no better test of one's understanding a subject, than the 

 evidence of the power of lucidly explaining it. The most elementary, as well as the obscurest subjects, un- 

 der the pencil of Prof. Meigs, are isolated and made to stand out in such bold relief, as to produce distinct 

 impressions upon the mind and memory of the reader. The Charleston Medical Journal. 



The merits of the first edition of this work were so generally appreciated, and with such a high degree of 

 favor by the medical profession throughout the Union, that we aa* not surprised in seeing a second edition 

 of it It is a standard work on the diseases of females, and in many respects is one of the very best of ita 

 kind in the English language. Upon the appearance of the first edition, we gave the work a cordial recep- 

 tion. and spoke of it in the warmest terras of commendation. Time has not changed the favorable estimate 

 we placed upon it, but has rather increased our convictions, of its superlative merits. But we do not now 

 deem it necessary to say more than to commend this work, on the diseases of women, and the remedies 

 for them, to the attention of those practitioners who have not supplied themselves with it. The most select 

 library would be imperfect without it. The Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



He is a bold thinker, and possesses more originality of thought and style than almost any American writer 

 on medical subjects. If he is not an elegant writer, there is at least a freshness a raciness in his mode of 

 expressing himself that cannot fail to draw the reader after him, even to the close of his work : you cannot 

 nod over his pages; he stimulates rather than narcotises your senses, and the reader cannot lay aside these 

 letters when once he enters into their merits. This, the second edition, is much amended and enlarged, and 

 affords abundant evidence of the author's talents and industry. A^ O. Medical and Surgical Journal. 



The practical writings of Dr. Meigs are second to none. The N. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



The excellent practical directions contained in this volume give it great utility, which we trust will not be 

 lost upon our older colleagues ; with some condensation, indeed, we should think it well adapted for trans- 

 lation into German. Zeitschrift fur die Gesammte Medecin.
