CHELIUS 1 SYSTEM OF SURGERY. 



A SYSTEM OF SURGERY. 



BY J. M. CHELIUS, 



Doctor in Medicine and Surgery, Public Professor of General and Ophthalmic Surgery, etc. etc. in the 



University of Heidelberg. 



TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN, 

 AND ACCOMPANIED WITH ADDITIONAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS, 



BY JOHN F. SOUTH, 



SURGEON TO ST. THOMAS' HOSPITAL. 



(&iteb, mill) Hefmnce to American OVnttjorities, 



BY GEORGE W. NORRIS, M.D. 



To be complete in Three large Octavo Volumes of about Six Hundred very large pages each, or 

 in Seventeen Numbers at Fifty Cents. 



The completion of this great work has been delayed by the very numerous and important 

 additions of the translator: it is now, however, in a state to enable the publishers to pro- 

 mise its conclusion by the first of March, 1847. 



It is unnecessary to call the attention of the profession to this important work. The 

 names which are associated in it, and the unanimous testimony borne by the medical press 

 to its excellence are sufficient to prove its great value. For fullness and completeness it is 

 unapproached by any work of the kind now before the profession, and it may, indeed, be 

 said to be the only real SYSTEM OF SURGERY, embracing both the Principles and Practice, that 

 has appeared since the days of Hunter. The consideration which it has long enjoyed abroad 

 may be estimated from the fact of its having passed through six editions in Germany, and its 

 having been translated into no less than seven languages. 



"Judging from a single number only of this work, we have no hesitation in saying that, if the re- 

 maining portions correspond at all with the first, it will be by far the most complete and scientific Sys- 

 tem of Surgery in the English language. We have, indeed, seen no work which so nearly comes up 

 to our idea of what such a production should be, both as a practical guide and as a work of reference, 

 as this; and the fact that it has passed through six editions in Germany, and been translated into seven 

 languages, is sufficiently convincing proof of its value. It is methodical and concise, clear and accu- 

 rate; omitting all minor details and fruitless speculations, it gives us all the information we want in 

 he shortest and simplest form." New York Journal of Medicine.

In One very neat Octavo Volume of about Five Hundred and Fifty Pages. 



In presenting this work to the American profession for the third time, but little need be 

 said to solicit for it a continuation of the favor with which it has been received. The me- 

 rits which have procured it this favor, its clearness, conciseness, and its excellent arrange- 

 ment, will continue to render it the favorite text-book of the student who wishes in a 

 moderate space a compend of the principles and practice of Surgery.
