Nearly one-half of the work is from the pen of the editor, whose reputation is inter- 

 national. The rest is based on contributions from distinguished British and American 

 writers and teachers, not only of gynecology, but also of the cognate subjects of pathol- 

 ogy, bacteriology, neurology, dermatology, general surgery, and internal medicine, 

 unified and blended into a consecutive text. 



" Taken all in all, this book may be said to represent all that is accepted by conser- 

 vative gynecologists, and is a book which can be followed with the most implicit faith 

 by the practitioner." Medical Progress, Louisville, Ky. 



"Students and practitioners will find this text-book a valuable guide in this im- 

 portant field of special work. The book is judiciously illustrated, and the illustrations 

 are especially well drawn and helpful." -Journal of Medical Science, Portland, Me. 



" The work of the editor in properly connecting the labors of the different contribu- 

 tors so that the book would not have the appearance of a collection of monographs 

 has been stupendous. The successful accomplishment of this reflects great credit upon 

 his judgment, industry, and acumen." Western Medical Review, Lincoln, Neb. 



" There are thirty-one contributors, the best talent to be found in the United States, 

 with the result that we have one of the very best works upon gynecology extant. The 

 editor is to be sincerely congratulated on the outcome of his labor, but those who know 

 him best could not but feel that such a book only could be produced by him." New 

 England Medical Monthly, Danbury, Conn. 



" Dr. Reed has placed the profession under obligations to himself for a very valuable 

 text-book of gynecology. For clearness of statement, exhaustiveness of treatment, and 

 fulness of illustration, it is not excelled by any work of its size. The author has suc- 

 ceeded in furnishing a text-book which will be a most valuable working manual for 

 practitioners and students, embracing the best approved developments of gynecology. 

 The work of his associates has been so woven into the text as to give it unity and 

 completeness without repetition." Columbus (Ohio) Medical Journal. 



" This volume is an original work of more than ordinary value, upon a subject which 

 can boast of many distinguished authors. Its great value lies in the fact that it is of 

 composite authorship. Thirty-one contributors have lent their best efforts to the suc- 

 cessful elaboration of this volume, and the list embraces the most widely known names 

 of North America and Great Britain. The editor did his work thoroughly and well, and 

 as a result we have a book whose contents are truly refreshing. It is up to date in every 

 respect, and its preparation was done quickly but not hastily. The different articles 

 are well considered, show much thought in their preparation, and give evidence of large 

 experience and information on the part of their respective authors. The editor has not 

 confined his labors merely to editorial supervision, but he has made many contributions 

 as well, and they are by no means the least important." St. Louis Medical and 

 Surgical Journal.
