A SYSTEM OF SURGERY: Pathological, Diagnostic, Therapeutic, 



and Operative. Illustrated by upwards of Fourteen Hundred Engravings. Fifth edition, 

 carefully revised, and improved. In two large and beautifully printed imperial octavo vol- 

 umes of about 2300 pages, strongly bound in leather, with raised bands, $15. ( Just Issued.) 

 The continued favor, shown by the exhaustion of successive large editions of this great work, 

 proves that it has successfully supplied a want felt by American practitioners and students. In the 

 present revision no pains have been spared by the author- to bring it in every respect fully up to 

 the day. To effect this a large part of the work has been rewritten, and the whole enlarged by 

 nearly one-fourth, notwithstanding which the price has been kept at its former very moderate 

 rate. By the use of a close, though very legible type, an unusually large amount oi matter ie 

 condensed in its pages, the two volumes containing as much as four or five ordinary octavos. 

 This, combined with the most careful mechanical execution, and its very durable binding, renders 

 it one of the cheapest works accessible to the profession. Every subject properly belonging to the 

 domain of surgery is treated in detail, so that the student who possesses this work' may be said to 

 have in it a surgical library. A few notices of the previous edition are subjoined : 



It must long remain the most comprehensive work 

 on this important part of medicine. Boston Medical 

 and Stirgical Journal, March 23, 1865. 



We have compared it with most of our standard 

 works, such as those of Erichsen, Miller, Fergusson, 

 Syme, and others, and we must, in justice to our 

 author, award it the pre-eminence. As a work, com- 

 plete in almost every detail, no matter how minute 

 or trifling, and embracing every subject known in 

 the principles and practice of surgery, we believe it 

 stands without a rival. Dr. Gross, in his preface, re- 

 marks "my aim has been to embrace the whole do- 

 main of surgery, and to allot to every subject its 

 legitimate claim to notice;" and, we assure our 

 readers, he has kept his word. It is a work which 

 we can most confidently recommend to our brethren, 

 for its utility is becoming the more evident the longer 

 It is upon the shelves of our library. Canada Med. 

 Journal, September, 1865. 



The first two editions of Professor Gross' System of 

 Surgery are so well known to the profession, and so 

 highly prized, that it would be idle for us to speak in 

 praise of this work. Chicago Medical Journal, 

 September, 1865. 



We gladly indorse the favorable recommendation 

 of the work, both as regards matter and style, which 

 we made when noticing its first appearance. British 

 and Foreign Medico- Chirurgical Review, Oct. 1865. 



The most complete work that has yet issued from 

 the press on the science and practice of surgery. 

 London Lancet. 



This system of surgery is, we predict, destined to 

 take a commanding position in our surgical litera- 

 ture, and be the crowning glory of the author's well 

 earned fame. As an authority on general surgical 

 subjects, this work is long to occupy a pre-eminent 

 place, not only at home, but abroad. We have no

hesitation in pronouncing it without a rival in onr 

 language, and equal to the best systems of surgery in 

 any language.^. Y. Med. Journal. 



Not only by far the best text-book on the subject, 

 as a whole, within the reach of American students, 

 but one which will be much more than ever likely 

 to be resorted to and regarded as a high authority 

 abroad. Am. Journal Med. Sciences, Jan. 1865. 



The work contains everything, minor and major, 

 operative and diagnostic, including mensuration and 

 examination, venereal diseases, and uterine manipu- 

 lations and operations. It is a complete Thesaurus 

 of modem surgery, where the student and practi- 

 tioner shall not seek in vain for what they desire. 

 San Francisco Med. Press, Jan. 1865. 



Open it where we may, we find sound practical in- 

 formation conveyed in plain language. 'This book i 

 no mere provincial or even national system of sur- 

 gery, but a work which, while very largely indebted 

 to the past, has a strong claim on the gratitude of tha 

 future of surgical science. Edinburgh Med. Journal, 

 Jan. 1865. 



A glance at the work is sufficient to show that the 

 author and publisher have spared no labor in making 

 it the most complete "System of Surgery" ever pub- 

 lished in any country. St. Louis Med. and Surg. 

 Journal, April, 1865. 



A system of surgery which we think unrivalled in 

 our language, and which will indelibly associate his 

 name with surgical science. And what, in our opin- 

 ion, enhances the value of the work is that, while the 

 practising surgeon will find all that he requires in it, 

 it is at the same time one of the most valuable trea- 

 tises which can b put into the hands of the student 

 seeking to know the principles and practice of this 

 branch of the profession which he designs subse- 

 quently to follow. The Brit. Am.Journ., Montreal.
