A COMPLETE PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OP 



CHILDREN. Second Edition, revised and greatly enlarged. In one handsome octavo 

 volume of 742 pages, cloth, $5; leather, $6. (Lately Published.) 

 FROM THE PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. 



In presenting to the profession the second edition of his work, the author gratefully acknow- 

 ledges the favorable reception accorded to the first. He has endeavored to merit a continuance 

 of this approbation by rendering the volume much more complete than before. Nearly twenty 

 additional diseases have been treated of, among which may be named Diseases Incidental to 

 Birth Rachitis, Tuberculosis, Scrofula, Intermittent, Remittent, and Typhoid Fevers, Chorea, 

 and the various forms of Paralysis. Many new formulae, which experience has shown to be 

 useful, have been introduced, portions of the text of a less practical nature have been con- 

 densed, and other portions, especially those relating to pathological histology, have been 

 rewritten to correspond with recent discoveries. Every effort has been made, however, to avoid 

 an undue enlargement of the volume, but, notwithstanding this, and an increase in the size of 

 the page, the number of pages has been enlarged by more than one hundred.

The work will be found to contain nearly one-third more matter than the previous edition, and 

 It is confidently presented as in every respect worthy to be received as the standard American 

 text-book on the subject. 



Eminently practical as well as judicious in its 

 teachings. Cincinnati Lancet and Obs., July, 1S72. 



A standard work that leaves little to be desired.

We know of no book on this subject that we can 

 more cordially recommend to the medical student 

 and the practitioner. Cincinnati Clinic, June 29, '72. 



We regard it as superior to any other single work 

 on the diseases of infancy and childhood. Detroit

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF CHILDREN. 



Sixth edition, revised and augmented. In one large octavo volume of nearly 800 closely- 

 printed pages, cloth, $5 25 ; leather, $6 25. 



The present edition, which is the sixth, is fully up 

 to the times in the discussion of all those points in the 

 pathology and treatment of infantile diseases which 

 kave been brought forward by the Germa u and French 



teachers. As a whole, however, the work is the best 

 American one that we have, and in its special adapta- 

 tion to American practitioners it certainly has no 

 equal. New York Med. Record, Marci 2, 1868.

LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OP INFANCY AND CHILD- 

 HOOD. Fifth American from the sixth revised and enlarged English edition. In one large 

 and handsome octavo volume of 678 pages. Cloth, $4 50 ; leather, $5 50. (Just Issued.) 

 The continued demand for this work on both sides of the Atlantic, and its translation into Ger- 

 man, French, Italian, Danish, Dutch, and Russian, show that it fills satisfactorily a want exten- 

 sively felt by the profession. There is probably no man living who can speak with the authority 

 derived from a more extended experience than Dr. West, and his work now presents the results of 

 nearly 2000 recorded cases, and 600 post-mortem examinations selected from a.mong nearly 40,000 

 cases which have passed under bis care. In the preparation of the present edition he has omitted 

 much that appeared of minor importance, in order to find room for the introduction of additional 

 matter, and the volume, while thoroughly revised, is therefore not increased materially in size. 



Of all the English writers on the diseases of chil- I living authorities in the difficult department of medi- 

 dren, there is no one so entirely satisfactory to us as | cal science in which he is most widely known. 

 Dr. West. For years we have held his opinion as I Boston Med. and Surg. Journal. 

 judicial, and have regarded him as one of the highest |

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE WASTING DISEASES OF 



INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD. Second American, from the second revised and enlarged 

 English edition. In one handsome octavo volume, cloth, $2 50. (Lately Issued.) 



This is in every way an admirable book. The 

 modest title which the author has chosen for it scarce- 

 ly conveys an adequate idea of the many subjects 

 upon which it treats. Wasting is so constant an at- 

 tendant upon the maladies of childhood, that a trea- 

 tise upon the wasting diseasesof childrenmust neces 

 garily embrace the consideration of many affections 

 of which it is a symptom ; and this is excellently well 

 done by Dr. Smith. The book might fairly be de- 



scribed as a practical handbook of the common dis- 

 eases of children, so numerous are the affections con- 

 sidered either collaterally or directly. We are 

 acquainted with no safer guide to the treatment of 

 children's diseases, and few works give the insight 

 into the physiological and other peculiarities of chil- 

 dren that Dr. Smith's book does. Brit. Med. Journ.,
