This valuable work, embracing the results of many years of successful experience in the 

 department of which it treats, will prove most acceptable to the entire profession ; while the 

 high standing of the author and his knowledge of the subject combine to make the book the 

 best in the language. It is divided into two parts : the first treating of Ovarian Tumors, their 

 anatomy, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment, except by extirpation ; the second of Ovariot- 

 omy, its history and statistics, and of the operation. Fully illustrated, and abounding with 

 information the result of a prolonged study of the subject, the work should be in the hands of 

 every physician in the country. 



The following are some of the opinions of the press, at home and abroad, of this great 

 work, which has been justly styled, by an eminent critic, " the most complete medical mono- 

 graph on a practical subject ever produced in this country" 



" His opinions upon what others have advised are clearly set forth, and are as interesting 

 and important as are the propositions he has himself to advance ; while there are a freshness, 

 a vigor, an authority about his writing, which great practical knowledge alone can confer." 

 The Lancet. 



41 Both Wells's and Peaslee's works will be received with the respect due to the great repu- 

 tation and skill of their authors. Both exist not only as masters of their art, but as clear and 

 graceful writers. In either work the student and practitioner will find the fruits of rich expe- 

 rience, of earnest thought, and of steady, well-balanced judgment. As England is proud of 

 Wells, so may America well be proud of Peaslee, and the great world of science may be proud 

 of both." British Medical Journal. 



" This is an excellent work, and does great credit to the industry, abih'ty, science, and 

 learning of Dr. Peaslee. Few works issue from the medical press so complete, so exhaustive- 

 ly learned, so imbued with a practical tone, without losing other substantial good qualities." 

 Edinburgh Medical Journal. 



" In closing our review of this work, we cannot avoid again expressing our appreciation of 

 the thorough study, the careful and honest statements, and candid spirit, which characterize it 

 For the use of the student we should give tlie preference to Dr. Peaslee's work, not only 

 from its completeness, but from its more methodical arrangement." American Journal 

 of Medical Sciences. 



" Dr. Peaslee brings to the work a thoroughness of study, a familiarity with the whole 

 field of histology, physiology, pathology, and practical gynaecology, not excelled, perhaps, by 

 those of any man who ever performs the operation." Medical Record. 



" If we were to select a single word to express what we regard as the highest excellence of 

 this book, it would be its thoroughness.' 1 ' 1 New York Medical Journal. 



" We deem its careful perusal indispensable to all who would treat ovarian tumors with a 

 good conscience." American Journal of Obstetrics. 



" It shows prodigal industry, and embodies within its five hundred and odd pages pretty 

 much all that seems worth knowing on the subject of ovarian diseases." Philadelphia Medi- 

 cal Times. 



" Great thoroughness is shown in Dr. Peaslee's treatment of all the details of this very ad- 

 mirable work." .Boston. Medical and Surgical Journal. 



"It is a necessity to every surgeon who expects to treat this disease." Leavenworth 

 Medical Herald. 



" Indispensable to the American student of gynaecology." Pacific Medical and Surgical 

 Journal. 



tt There is not a doubtful point that could occur to any one that is not explained and an- 

 swered in the most satisfactory manner." Virginia Clinical Record. 



" The work is one the profession should prize ; one that every earnest practitioner should 

 possess." Georgia Medical Companion. 



" Dr. Peaslee has achieved a success, and the work is one which no practical surgeon can 

 afford to be without." Medical Investigator.
