edition, enlarged and thoroughly revised. In one large and handsome octavo volume of 

 800 pages, with 191 illustrations. Cloth, $5 00; leather, $6 00. (Just Issued.) 



The author has taken advantage of the opportunity afforded by the call for another edition of 

 this work to render it worthy a continuance of the very remarkable favor with which it has been 

 received. Every portion has been subjected to a conscientious revision, and no labor has been 

 spared to make it a complete treatise on the most advanced condition of its important subject. 



A work which h:is reached a fourth edition, and is classical without beingpedautic, full in t he details

The call for a new edition of Dr. Barnes's work on the Diseases of Females has encouraged 

 the author to make it even more worthy of the favor of the profession than before. By a rear- 

 rangement and careful pruning space has bpen found for a new chapter on the Gynaecological 

 Relations of the Bladder and Bowel Disorders, without increasing the size of the book, while 

 many new illustrations have been introduced where experience has shown them to be needed. It 

 is therefore hoped that the volume will be found to reflect thoroughly and accurately the present 

 condition of gynaecological science.
