OX THE NATURE, SIGNS, AND TREATMENT OF CHILDBED 



FEVER. In a Series of Letters addressed to the Students of his Class. In one handsome 

 octavo volume, of three hundred and sixty-five pages. (Now Ready.) 



This book will add more to his fame than either 

 of those which bear his name, indeed we doubt 

 whether any material improvement will be made on 

 the teachings of this volume for a century to come, 

 since it is so eminently practical, and based on pro- 

 found knowledge of the science and consummate 

 skill in the art of healing, and ratified by an ample 

 and extensive experience, such as few men have the 

 industry or good fortune to acquire. N. Y. Med. 

 Gazette. 



The instructive and interesting author of this 

 work, whose previous labors in the department of 

 medicine which he so sedulously cultivates, have 

 placed liis countrymen under deep and abiding obli- 

 gations, again challenges their admiration in the 

 fresh and vigorous, attractive and racy pages before 

 HS. It is a delectable book. * * # This treatise 

 upon child-bed fevers will have an extensive sale, 

 being destined, as it deserves, to find a place in the 

 library of every practitioner who scorns to lag in the 

 rear of his brethren. Nashville Journal of Medi- 

 cine and Surgery.

WOMAN : HER DISEASES AND THEIR REMEDIES. A Series of Lee- 



tures to his Class. Third and Improved edition. In one large and beautifully printed octavo 



volume. (Just Issued. Revised and enlarged to 1854.) pp. 672. 



The gratifying appreciation of his labors, as evinced by the exhaustion of two large impressions 

 of this Vork within a few years, has not been lost upon the author, who has endeavored in every 

 way to render it worthy of the favor with which it has been received. The opportunity thus 

 afforded fora second revision has been improved, and the work is now presented as in every way 

 superior to its predecessors, additions and alterations having been made whenever the advance of 

 science has rendered them desirable. The typographical execution of the work will also be found 

 to have undergone a similar improvement and the work is now confidently presented as in every 

 way worthy the position it has acquired as the standard American text-book on the Diseases of 

 Females'. 



It contains a vast amount of practical knowledge, 

 by one who has accurately observed and retained 

 the experience of many years, and who tells the re- 

 sult in a free, familiar, and pleasant manner. Dub- 

 lin Quarterly Journal. 



There is an off-hand fervor, a glow, and a warm- 

 heartedness infecting the effort of Dr. Meigs, which 

 is entirely captivating, and which absolutely hur 



such bold relie.f, as to produce distinct impressrons 

 upon the mind and memory of the reader. The 

 Charleston Med. Journal. 



Professor Meigs has enlarged and amended this 

 great work, for such it unquestionably is, having 

 passed the ordeal of criticism at home and abroad, 

 but been improved thereby ; for in this new edition 

 the author has introduced real improvements, and 



ries the reader through from beginning to end. Be- increased the value and utility of the book im- 

 sides, the book teems with solid instruction, and measurably. It presents so many novel, bright, 



it shows the very highest evidence of ability, viz., 

 the clearness with which the information is pre- 

 sented. \Ve know of no better test of one's under- 

 standing a subject than the evidence of the power 

 of lucidly explaining it. The most elementary, as 

 well as the obscurest subjects, under the pencil of 

 Prof. Meigs, are isolated and made to stand out in 



and sparkling thoughts; such an exuberance of new 

 ideas on almost every page, that we confess our- 

 selves to have become enamored with the book 

 and its author ; and cannot withhold our congratu- 

 lations from our Philadelphia confreres, that such a 

 teacher is in their service. N, Y. Med. Gazette.

OBSTETRICS : THE SCIENCE AND THE ART. Second edition, revised 



and improved. With one hundred and thirty-one illustrations. In one beautifully printed octavo 

 volume, of seven hundred and fifty-two large pages. (Lately Published.) 



The rapid demand for a second edition of this work is a sufficient evidence that it has supplied 

 a desideratum of the profession, notwithstanding the numerous treatises on the same subject which 

 have appeared within the last few years. Adopting a system of his own, the author has combined 

 the leading principles of his interesting and difficult subject, with a thorough exposition of its rules 

 oaf practice, presenting the results of long and extensive experience and of familiar acquaintance 

 with all the modern writers on this department of medicine. As an American Treatise on Mid- 

 wifery, which has at once assumed the position of a classic, it possesses peculiar claims to the at- 

 tention and study of the practitioner and student, while the numerous alterations and revisions 

 which it has undergone in the present edition are shown by the great enlargement of the work, 

 which is not only increased as to the size of the page, but also in the number.

A TREATISE ON ACUTE AND CHRONIC D^SEASllS OF THE NECK 



OF THE UTERUS. With numerous plates, drawn and colored from nature in the highest 

 style of art. In one handsome octavo volume, extra cloth. 



The object of the author in this work has been to present in a small compass the practical results 

 of his long experience in this important and distressing class of diseases. The great changes intro- 

 duced into practice, and the accessions to our knowledge on the subject, within the last few years, 

 resulting from the use of the metroscope, brings within the ordinary practice of every physician 

 numerous cases which were formerly regarded as incurable, and renders of great value a work like 

 the present combining practical directions for diagnosis and treatment with an ample series of illus- 

 trations, copied accurately from colored drawings made by the author, after nature.
