WEST (CHARLES), M. D., 



Physician to the Hospital for Sick Children, &c. 



LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OF INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD. 



Second American, from the Second and Enlarged London edition. In one volume, octavo, of 

 nearly five hundred pages. (Just Issued.) 



\Ve take leave of Dr. \Yest with great respect for 

 his attainments, a due appreciation of his acute 

 powers of observation, and a deep sei^se of obliga- 

 tion for this valuable contribution to our profes- 

 sional literature. His book is undoubtedly in many 

 respects the best we possess on diseases of children. 

 The extracts we have given will, we hope, satisfy 

 our readers of its value; and yet in all candor we 

 must say that they are even inferior to some other 

 parts, the length of which prohibited our entering 

 upon them. That the book will shortly be in the 

 hands of most of our readers we do not doubt, andjt 

 will give us much pleasure if our strong recommend- 

 ation of it may contribute towards the result. The 

 Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science. 



Dr. West has placed the profession under deep ob- 



upon a subject which almost daily taxes to the ut- 

 most the skill of the general practitioner. He has 

 with singular felicity threaded his way through all 

 the tortuous labyrinths of the difficult subject he has 

 undertaken to elucidate, and has in many of the 

 darkest corners left a light, for the benefit of suc- 

 ceeding travellers, which will never be extinguished. 

 Not the least captivating feature in this admirable 

 performance is its easy, conversational style, which 

 acquires force from its very simplicity, and leaves 

 an impression upon the memory, of the truths it 

 conveys, as clear and refreshing as its own purity. 

 The author's position secured him extraordinary fa- 

 cilities for the investigation of children's diseases, 

 and his powers of observation and discrimination 

 have enabled him to make the most of these great 

 advantages. Nashville Medical Journal.

It possesses the strongest claims to the attention of the medical student and practitioner, from 

 the admirable manner in which the various inquiries in the different branches of pathology are 

 investigated, combined, and generalized by an experienced practical physician, and directly applied

 lieve, in any language, of rational medicine, in its
