PNEUMONIA ; its Supposed Connection, Pathological and Etiological, with Au- 

 tumnal Fever?, including an Inquiry into the Existence and Morbid Agency of Malaria. In one 



handsome octavo volume, extra clolh, of 500 pages. 



. A more simple, clear, and forcible exposition of 

 t-he groundless nature and dangerous tendency of 

 certain pathological and etiological heresies, has 

 seldom been presented to our notice. N. Y. Journal 

 of Medicine and Collateral Science. 



This work should be carefully studied by Southern 

 physicians, embodying as it does the reflections of 

 an original thinker and close observer on a subject 

 peculiarly their own. Virginia Med. and Surgical 

 Journal. 



The author had prepared us to expect a treatise 

 from him, by his brief papers on kindred topics in 



the periodical press, and yet in the work before us 

 he has exhibited an amount of industry and learning, 

 research and ability, beyond what we are accustomed 

 to discover in modern medical writers; while his 

 own extensive opportunities for observation and 

 experience have been improved by the most laudable 

 diligence, and display a familiarity witli the whole 

 subject in every aspect, which commands both our 

 respect and confidence. As a corrective of prevalent 

 and mischievous error, sought to be propagated by 

 novices and innovators, we could wish that Dr. Ca 

 Roche's book could be widely read. N. Y. Medical 

 Gazette.

 the same name in other parts of temperate as well as in tropical regions. In two large and 

 handsome octavo volumes. 



The publishers are happy in being able to announce the speedy appearance of this great work. 

 As the result of many years of study and observation, and as a complete resume of all that has been 

 written on the subject, it will at once take its place as the standard authority and work of reference 

 on the important questions brought under consideration.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON DISEASES AND INJURIES OF THE 



EYE. To which is prefixed an Anatomical Introduction explanatory of a Horizontal Section of 

 the Human Eyeball, by THOMAS WHARTON JONES, F. R. S. From the Fourth Revised and En- 

 lars-ed London Edition. With Notes and Additions by ADDINELL HEWSON, M. D., Surgeon to 

 Wills Hospital, &c. &c. In one very large and handsome octavo volume, with plates and numerous 

 wood-cuts. (Nearly Ready.) 



The reputation which this work has universally attained will be enhanced by the present edition. 

 Besides the thorough revision by the author which it has enjoyed in recently passing through the 

 press in London, the additions by the editor will embrace whatever is necessary to adapt it com- 

 pletely to the wants of the American practitioner, constituting it a library of Ophthalmic Medicine 

 and Surgery. 



The treatise of Dr. Mackenzie indisputably holds 

 the first place, and forms, in respect of learning and 

 research, an Encyclopedia unequalled in extent by 

 any other work of the kind, either English or foreign. 

 Dixon on Diseases of the Eye. 



Few modern books on any department of medicine 

 or surgery have met with such extended circulation, 

 or have procured for their authors a like amount of 

 European celebrity. The immense research which 

 it displayed, the thorough acquaintance with the 

 subject, practically as well as theoretically, and the 

 able manner in which the author's stores of learning 

 and experience were rendered available for general 

 use, at once procured for the first edition, as well on 

 the continent as in this country, that high position 

 as a standard work which each successive edition 

 has more firmly established, in spite of the attrac- 

 tions of several rivals of no mean ability. This, the 

 fourth edition, has been in a great measure re- writ- 

 ten ; new matter, to the extent of one hundred and 

 fifty pages, has been added, and in several instances 

 formerly expressed opinions have been modified in 



accordance with the advances in the science which 

 have been made of late years. Nothing worthy of 

 repetition upon any branch of the subject appears to 

 have escaped the author's notice. We consider it 

 the duty of every one who has the love of his profes- 

 sion and the welfare of his patient at heart, to make 

 himself familiar with this the most complete work 

 in the English language upon the diseases of the eye. 

 Med. Times and Gazette. 



The fourth edition of this standard work will no 

 doubt be as fully appreciated as the three former edi- 

 tions. It is unnecessary to say a word in its praise, 

 for the verdict has already been passed upon it by 

 the most competent judges, and " Mackenzie on tike 

 Eye" lias justly obtained a reputation which it is 

 no figure of speech to call world- wide. British and 

 Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review. 



This new edition cf Dr. Mackenzie's celebrated 

 treatise on diseases of the eye, is truly a miracle of 

 industry and learning. We need scarcely say that 

 he has entirely exhausted the subject of his specialty.
