MEIGS ON CHILDREN Just Issued, 



OBSERVATIONS ON 



CERTAIN OF THE DISEASES OF YOUNG CHILDREN, 



BY CHARLES D. MEIGS, M. D., 



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

 Medical College of Philadelphia, &c. &c. 



In one handsome octavo volume of 214 pages. 



While this work is not presented to the profession as a systematic and complete treatise on In- 

 fantile disorders, the importance of the subjects treated of, and the interest attaching to the views 

 and opinions of the distinguished author must command for it the attention of all who are called 

 upon to treat this interesting class of diseases. 



It puts forth no claims as a systematic work, but contains an amount of valuable and useful matter, 

 scarcely to be found in the same space in our home literature. It can not but prove au acceptable offering 

 to the profession at large. N. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



The work before us is undoubtedly a valuable addition to the fund of information which has already been 

 treasured up on the subjects in question. It is practical, and therefore eminently adapted to the general 

 practitioner. Dr. Meigs' works have the same fascination which belongs to himself. Medical Examiner. 



This is a most excellent work on the obscure diseases of childhood, and will afford the practitioner and 

 student of medicine much aid in their diagnosis and treatment. The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. 



We take much pleasure in recommending this excellent little work to the attention of medical practition- 

 ers. It deserves their attention, and after they commence its perusal, they will not willingly abandon it, 

 until they have mastered its contents. We read the work while suffering from a carbuncle, and its fasci- 

 nating pages often beguiled us into forgetfulness of agonizing pain. May it teach others to relieve the afflic- 

 tions of the young. The Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



All of which topics are treated with Dr. Meigs' acknowledged ability and original diction. The work is 

 neither a systematic nor a complete treatise upon the diseases of children, but a fragment which may be con- 

 sulted with much advantage. Southern Medical and Surgical Journal. 



NEW WORK BY DR. CHURCHILL. 

 ON THE 



DISEASES OF INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 



BY FLEETWOOD CHURCHILL, M. D., M. R. I. A., . 



Author of "Theory and Practice of Midwifery," "Diseases of Females," &c. 

 In one large and handsome octavo volume of over 600 pages. 



From Dr. Churchill's known ability and industry, we were led to form high expectations of this work ; nor 

 were we deceived. Its learned author seems to have set no bounds to his researches in collecting informa- 

 tion which, with his usual systematic address, he has disposed of in the most clear and concise manner, so 

 as to lay before the reader every opinion of importance bearing upon the subject under consideration. 



We regard this volume as possessing more claims to completeness than any other of the kind with which 

 we are acquainted. Most cordially and earnestly, therefore, do we commend it to our professional brethren, 

 and we feel assured that the stamp of their approbation will in due time be impressed upon it. 



After an attentive perusal of its contents, we hesitate not to say, that it is one of the most comprehensive 

 ever written uj>on the diseases of children, and that, for copiousness of reference, extent of research, and per- 

 spicuity of detail, it is scarcely to be equalled, and not to be excelled in any language. Dublin Quarterly 

 Journal. 



The present volume will sustain the reputation acquired by the author from his previous works. The 

 reader will find in it full and judicious directions for the management of infants at birth, and a compendious, 

 but clear, account of the diseases to which children are liable, and the most successful mode of treating them. 

 We must not close this notice without calling attention to the author's style, which is perspicuous and 

 polished to a degree, we regret to say, not generally characteristic of medical works. We recommend the 

 work of Dr. Churchill most cordially, both to students and practitioners, as a valuable and reliable guide in 

 the treatment of the diseases of children. Am. Journ. of the Med. Sciences. 



After this meagre, and we know, very imperfect notice, of Dr. Churchill's work, we shall conclude by 

 saying, that it is one that cannot fail from its copiousness, extensive research, and general accuracy, to exalt 

 still higher the reputation of the author in this country. The American reader will be particularly pleased 

 to find that Dr. Churchill has done full justice throughout his work, to the various American authors on this 

 subject. The names of Dewees, Eberle, Condie, and Stewart, occur on nearly every page, and these authors 

 are constantly referred to by the author in terms of the highest praise, and with the most liberal courtesy. 

 The Medical Examiner. 



We know of no work on this department of Practical Medicine which presents so candid and unpreju- 

 diced a statement or posting up of our actual knowledge as this. N. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



Its claims to merit, both as a scientific and practical work, are of the highest order. Whilst we would 

 not elevate it above every other treatise on the same subject, we certainly believe that very few are equal 

 to it, and none superior. Sou them Med. and Surg. Journal.
