ON DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN; including Displacements 



of the Uterus. With original illustrations. Second edition, revised and enlarged. ID 

 one beautifully printed octavo volume of 531 pages, cloth, $4 50. 



From PROF. W. H. BTPORD, of the Riish Medical 

 College, Chicago. 



The book bears the impress of a master hand, and 

 must, as its predecessor, prove acceptable to the pro- 

 fession. In diseases of women Dr. Hodge has estab- 

 lished a school of treatment that has become world- 

 wide in fame. 



Professor Hodge's work is truly an original one 

 from beginning to end, consequently no one can pe- 

 ruse its pages without learning something new. The 

 book, which is by no means a large oue, is divided into 

 two grand sections, so to speak : first, that treating of 

 the nervous sympathies of the uterus, and, secondly, 



chat which speaks of the mechanical treatment of dis- 

 placements of that organ. He is disposed, as a non- 

 Seliever In the frequency of inflammations of the 

 uterus, to take strong ground against many of the 

 highest authorities iu this branch of medicine, and 

 the arguments which he offers in support of his posi- 

 tion are. to say the least, well put. Numerous wood- 

 cuts adorn this portion of the work, and add incalcu- 

 lably to the proper appreciation of the variously 

 shaped instruments referred to by our author. As s 

 contribution to the study of women's diseases, it i o* 

 great value, and is abundantly able to stand on its 

 own merits. .V. Y. Medical Record, Sept. 15, 1868.

As a writer. Dr. West stands, in our opinion, se- 

 eoud only to Watson, the "Macaulay of Medicine;' 

 he possesses that happy faculty of clothing instruc- 

 tion in easy garments ; combining pleasure with 

 profit, he leads his pupils, in spite of the ancient pro- 

 verb, along a royal road to learning. His work is one 

 which will not satisfy the extreme on either side, but 

 It is one that will please the great majority wko are 



, ill convince the student 



that he has committed himself to a candid, safe, and 

 valuable guide. jr. A. Med.-Chirurg Review. 



We have to say of it, briefly and decidedly, that it 

 is the best work on the subject in any language, and 

 that it stamps Dr. West as the facile princeps of 

 British obstetric authors. Edinburgh Med.

Embodying the long experience and personal obser- 

 vation of one of the greatest of living teachers in dis- 

 eases of women, it seems pervaded by the presence 

 of the author, who speaks directly to the reader, and 

 speaks, too, as one having authority. And yet, not- 

 withstanding this distinct personality, there is noth- 

 ing narrow as to time, place, or individuals, in the 

 views presented, and in the instructions given ; Dr. 

 Barnes has been an attentive student, not only of Eu- 

 ropean, but also of American literature, pertaining to 

 diseases of females, and enriched\his own experience 

 by treasures thence gathered ; he seems as familiar, 

 for example, with the writings of Sims, Emmet, Tho- 



countrymen and colleagues, and gives them a credit 

 which must be gratifying to every American physi- 

 cian. Am. Journ. Med. Set., April, 1874. 



Throughout the whole book it is impossible not to 

 feel that the author has spontaneously, conscientious- 

 ly, and fearlessly performed his task. He goes direct 

 to the point, and does not loiter on the way to gossip 

 or quarrel with other authors. Dr. Barnes's book 

 will be eagerly read all over the world, and will 

 everywhere be admired for its comprehensiveness, 

 honesty of purpose, and ability. The Obstet. Journ. 

 of Great Britain and Ireland, March, 1874.
