 Collecting together the vast amount of material daily accumulating in this important and ra- 

 pidly improving department of medical science, the value of the information which it pre- 

 sents to the subscriber may be estimated from the character of the gentlemen who have already

 BENNET, THOI^AS CHAMBERS, FLEETWOOD CHURCHILL, MATTHEWS DUNCAN, GRAILY HEWITT, 

 BRAXTON HICKS, ALFRED MEADOWS, W. LEISHMAN, ALEX. SIMPSON, TYLER SMITH, EDWARD J. 

 TILT, SPENCER WELLS, &c. <fcc. ; in short, the representative men of British Obstetrics and Gynae- 

 cology. 



In order to render the OBSTETRICAL JOURNAL fully adequate to the wants of the American 

 profession, each number contains a Supplement devoted to the advances made in Obstetrics and 

 Gynaecology on this side of the Atlantic. This portion of the Journal is under the editorial 

 charge of Dr. WILLIAM F. JENKS, to whom editorial communications, exchanges, books for re- 

 view, Ac., may be addressed, to the care of the publisher. 



**.* Complete sets from the beginning can no longer be furnished, but subscriptions can com- 

 mence with January, 1875, or with Vol. II., April, 1874. 



fTHOMAS (T. GAILLARD),M.J)., 



Professor of Obstetrics, &c., in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, N. T., &c. 



A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN. Fourth 



edition, enlarged and thoroughly revised. In one large and handsome octavo volume of 

 800 pages, with 191 illustrations. Cloth, $5 00; leather, $6 00. (Now Ready.) 

 The author has taken advantage of the opportunity afforded by the call for another edition of 

 this work to render it worthy a continuance of the very remarkable favor with which it has been 

 received. Every portion has been subjected to a conscientious revision, and no labor has been 

 spared to make it a complete treatise on the most advanced condition of its important subject. 



A few notices of the previous editions are subjoined : 



No general practitioner can afford to be without 

 it. St. Louis Mud. and Surg. Journal, May, 1872. 



Professor Thomas fairly took the Profession of the 

 United States by storm when his book first made its 

 appearance early in IS'.iS. Its reception was simply 

 enthusiastic, notwithstanding a few adverse criti- 

 cisms from our transatlantic brethren, the first large 

 edition was rapidly exhausted, and in six mouths a 

 second one was issued, and in two years a third one 

 was announced and published, and we are now pro- 

 mised the fourth. The popularity of this work was 

 not ephemeral, and its success was unprecedented in 

 the annals of American medical literature. Six years 

 is a long period in medical scientific research, but 

 Thomas's work on "Diseases of Women" is still the 

 leading native production of the United States. The 

 order, the matter, the absence of theoretical disputa- 

 tU-eness, the fairness of statement, and the elegance 

 of diction, preserved throughout the entire range of 

 the book, indicate that Professor Thomas did not 

 overestimate his powers when he conceived the idea 

 and executed the work of producing a new treatise 

 upon diseases of women. PROF. PALLEX, in Louis- 

 mile Med. Journal, Sept. 1874. 



Briefly, we may say that we know of no book 

 which so completely and concisely represents the 

 present state of gynaecology; none so full of well- 

 digested and reliable teaching ; none which bespeaks 

 an author more apt in research and abundant in re- 

 sources. N. Y. Med. Record, May 1, 1872. 



Its able author need not fear comparison between 

 it and any similar work in tlie English language; 

 nay more, as a text-hoek for students and as a guide 

 for practitioners, we believe it is unequalled. If 

 either student or practitioner can get but ^ne book 

 on diseasesof women, that hook should be "Thomas." 

 Amer. Jour. Med. Sciences, April, ' 872 



To students we unhesitatingly recommend it as 

 the best text-book on diseases of females extant. 

 Sf. Louis Med. Reporter, June, 1869. 



Of all the army of books that nave appeared of late 

 years, on the diseases of the uterus and its appendages, 

 we know of none that is so clear, comprehensive, and 

 practical as this of Dr. Thomas', or one that we should 

 more emphatically recommend to the young practi- 

 tioner, as his guide. California Med. Gazette) June, 

 1869. 



It would he superfluous to give an extended review 

 of what is now firmly established as the American 

 text-hook of Gynaecology. N. Y. Med. Gazette, July 

 17, 1869. 



This is a new and revised edition of a work which 

 we recently noticed at some length, and earnestly

no hesitation in recommending Dr. Thomas's work as 

 one of the most complete of its kind ever published. 

 It should be in the possession of every practitioner 

 for reference and for study. London Lancet, April 

 27, 1872. 



We are free to say that we regard Dr. Thomas the 

 best American authority on diseases of women. 

 Cincinnati Lancet and' Observer, May, 1S72. 



Lancet, Aug. 



It is so short a time since we gave a full review of 

 the first edition of this book, that we deem it only 

 necessary now to call attention to the second appear- 

 ance of the work. Its success has been remarkable, 

 and we can only congratulate the author on the 

 brilliant reception his book has received./?". Y.-Med.
