Prof, of the Principles and Practice of Med. and of Clin. Med. in Bellevue Hospital Medical College, N. Y. 



A Treatise on the Principles and Practice of Medicine. Designed for 

 the use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine. Fifth edition, entirely rewritten and 

 much improved. In one large and closely-printed octavo volume of 1150 pages. Cloth,

We cannot conclude this notice without express- not merely a new edition. In making these altera- 



ing our admiration for this volume, which is cer- tions, Flint openly confesses that he has not been 



tainly one of the standard text-books on medicine ; too careful to maintain a character for consistency, 



and we may safely affirm that, taken altogether, it but has endeavored to give his reader his more 



exhibits a fuller and wider acquaintance with re- matured, and, as he believes, more truthful views, 



cent pathological inquiry, than any similar work careless of any discrepancy between them and 



with which we are acquainted, whilst at the same those he formerly advanced. Flint is right; only 



time it shows its author to be possessed of the rare in this way could he produce a work worthy of be- 



faculties of clear exposition, thoughtful discrimi- ing looked upon as a standard. Edinburgh Medical

Flint's Treatise is the work of an accomplished 

 hospital physician, and is remarkable for its mas- 

 terly descriptions of disease. It is a work on clin- 

 ical medicine embodying the experience of a 



of American physicians and students. No one of 

 our medical writers approaches Professor Flint in 

 clearness of diction, breadth of view, and, what we 

 regard of transcendent importance, rational esti- 



lifetime. It has been carefully brought up to the j mate of the value of remedial agents. It is thor- 

 present day, and the additions and alterations have : oughly practical, therefore pre-eminently the book 

 been so great that it is virtually a new work, and i for American readers. St. Louis Clin. Bee., Mar. '81. 



HARTSHORNE, HENRY, M. TJ., 



Late Professor of Hygiene in the University of Pennsylvania. 



Essentials of the Principles and Practice of Medicine. A Handy book 

 for Students and Practitioners. Fifth edition, thoroughly revised and rewritten. In one 

 handsome royal 12mo. volume of 669 pages, with 144 illustrations. Cloth, $2.75 ; half 

 bound, $3.00. Just ready. 



The author of this book seems to have spared no j papers, etc. We cannot but admit that there is a 

 pains to bring it up to the modern standpoint, for , wonderful amount of information contained in this 

 as we turn over its pages we find many subjects I work, and that it is one of the best of its kind that

 before the profession. Certainly amongst books of I An indispensable book. No work ever exhibited 

 its class it^ deserves and has obtained a good posi- j a better average of actual practical treatment than 



' this one; and probably not one writer in our day 

 had a better opportunity than Dr. Hartshorne for 

 condensing all the views of eminent practitioners 



tion. On the whole it is a careful and conscien- 

 tious piece of work, and may be commended. 

 London Lancet, June 24, 1882. 



Within the compass of 600 pages it treats of the 

 history of medicine, general pathology, general 

 symptomatology, and physical diagnosis (including 

 laryngoscope, ophthalmoscope, etc.), general ther- 

 apeutics, nosology, and special pathology and prac- 

 tice. With such a wide range, condensation is, of 

 course, a necessity ; but the author has endeavored 

 to make up for this by copious references to original 



into a 12mo. The numerous illustrations will be 

 very useful to students especially. These essen- 

 tials, as the name suggests, are not intended to 

 supersede the text-books of Flint and Bartholow, 

 but they are the most valuable in affording the 

 means to see at a glance the whole literature of any 

 disease, and the most valuable treatment. Chicago 

 Medical Journal and Examiner, April, 1882. 



WOODBURY, FRANK, M. D., 



Phi/sician to the German Hospital, Philadelphia; late Chief Assistant to the Medical Clinic in Jeffer- 

 son College Hospital, etc.

 of Students and Practitioners. In one royal 12mo. volume, with illustrations. In press. 



BRISTOWE, JOHN SYER, M. &., F. R. C. P., 



Physician and Joint Lecturer on Medicine at St. Thomas' Hospital. 



A Treatise on the Practice of Medicine. Second American edition, revised 

 by the Author. Edited, with additions, by JAMES H. HUTCHIXPON, M.D., physician to the 

 Pennsylvania Hospital. In one handsome octavo volume of 1085 pages, with illustrations. 

 Cloth, $5.00 ; leather, $6.00 ; very handsome half Eussia, raised bands, $6.50. 



The second edition of this excellent work, like 

 the first, has received the benefit of Dr. Hutchin- 

 son's annotations, by which the phases of disease 

 which are peculiar to this country are indicated, 

 and thus a treatise which was intended for British 

 practitioners and students is made more practically 

 useful on this side of the water. We see no reason 

 to modify the high opinion previously expressed 

 with regard to Dr. Bristowe's work, except by add- 

 ing our appreciation of the careful labors of the 

 author in following the latest growth of medical 

 science. Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, Feb. 

 1880. 



faithfully given pathology of abnormal processes,

 diseases not usually considered to belong to theory 

 and practice, as skin diseases, syphilis and insanity, 

 but thev will not be objected to by readers, as he has 

 studied them conscientiously and drawn from the 

 life. Medical and Surgical Reporter, Dec. 20, 1879. 



The reader will find every conceivable subject 

 connected with the practice of medicine ably pre- 

 sented, in a style at once clear, interesting and 

 concise. The additions made by Dr. Hutchmson 

 are appropriate and practical, and greatly add to-
