From FoRDTCE Barker, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and' Children 

 in Bellevue Hospital Medical College. 

 Some weeks ago I received a copy of your work on the Uterus. I have delayed 

 acknowledging tlie favor until I could give the book a careful perusal. I Lave just 

 finished a thorough reading of it. I feel personally indebted to you, not merely for the 

 copy — which, of course, I should have bought — but for writing the book; and \ think 

 you have laid the Profession in this country under a load of obligation by giving them 

 such a clear, concise, and practical treatise on a class of affections that even now is 

 very little understood by the greater majority. 



From R. A. F. Penrose, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics in the University of Pennsylvania. 



Accept my thanks for the copy of your new work which you so kindly sent me. I 

 have, as yet, not had time to give it the careful study it merits ; but from the super- 

 ficial inspection I have made, I find much that is most valuable. 



From S. G. Hubbard, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics in Yale College, Neio Haven. 



I was gratified by the receipt of your new work on the Uterus, and I thank you sin- 

 cerely for it. I have spent all my leism-e in its examination, and have derived both 

 pleasure and profit from its perusal. It is commendable for its clearness and definite- 

 ness as well as for the great practical common sense which pervades it. I am sure that 

 it will prove a very useful treatise, not only to junior practitioners, but to those also 

 among us who, from not having devoted themselves to the treatment of uterine disease, 

 . as a specialty, have neither time nor opportunity to make original investigations in this 

 department, and are not, therefore, perfectly at home in its practice. ^ 



From James P. White, Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children in the 

 University of Buffalo. 

 I have had time, as yet, to run over but few of the chapters of your work on the 

 Uterus; I am most happy, however, in being able to say that, so far as I have read, it 

 does credit to American authorship. It is concise and brief, and eminently practical. 

 The work was certainly a desideratum, and will be especially useful to practitioners 

 who can illy afford to purchase all or most of the works referred to in your preface. I 

 shall examine it with much interest, and, no doubt, often consult it with profit. 



From G. S. Bedford, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women aud Children 

 in the University of New York. 

 On my return to the city I found on my table "Byford on the Uterus." The next day 

 I commenced perusing it, and have read it from cover to cover. I need not say that, 

 in my judgment, the book enhances your deserved reputation. You have, if my opin- 

 ion be worth anything, given the Profession an excellent work, and one that is sensible 

 and practical. Go on, my dear Doctor, and give us more of your experience. It is 

 what the Profession most needs — the experience of good and ripe minds. 



RECENTLY PUBLISHED, THE SECOND EDITION OF 



Byford's Practice of Medicine and Surgery. 



Applied to the Diseases and Accidents Incident to Women. By W. H. 



* Byford, A.M., M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women 



and Children in the Chicago Medical College, &c., &c. The Second 



Edition, Revised and Enlarged, u'lth Additional Illustrations. One 



volume. Octavo. ......... $5.00 



The rapid sale of the first edition of this book, which was exhaust-ed in a little more 

 than a year, has enabled the author to carefully revise the whole work, add many im- 

 provements, and to make a large addition of nfew matter, without, however, materially 

 increasing the size of the volume. 



This work treats well-nigh all the diseases incident to women, diseases and accidents 

 of the vulva and perineum, stone in the bladder, inflammation of the vagina, menstrua- 

 tion and its disorders, the uterus and its ailments, ovarian tumors, diseases of the mam- 

 mse, puerperal convulsions, phlegmasia alba dolens, puerperal fever, &c. Its scope ia 

 thus of the most extended character, yet the observations are concise, but convey much 

 practical information. — London Lancet.
