BUMSTEAD (FREEMAN J.) M. D., 

 Lecturer on Venereal Diseases at the College of Pnysiciana and Surgeons, New York, &e. 



THE PATHOLOGY AND TREATMENT OF VENEREAL DISEASES, 



including the results of recent investigations upon the subject. With illustrations on wood, la 

 one very handsome octavo volume, of nearly 700 pages, extra cloth; $4 00. 



By far the most valuable contribution to this par- 

 ticular branch of practice that has seen the light 

 within the iasc score of years. His clear and accu- 

 rate descriptions of the various forms of venereal 

 disease, and especially the methods of treatment he 

 proposes, are worthy of the highest encomium. In 

 these respects it is better adapted for the assistance 

 of the every-day practitioner than any other with 

 which we are acquainted. In variety of methods 

 proposed, in minuteness of direction, guided by care- 

 ful discrimination of varying forms affd complica- 

 tions, we write down the book as unsurpassed. It 

 is a work which should be in the possession of every 

 practitioner. Chicago Med. Journal. Nov. 1S61. 



The foregoing admirable volume comes to us, em- 

 bracing the whole subject of syphilology, resolving 

 many a doubt, correcting and confirming many an 

 entertained opinion, and in our estimation the best, 

 completes!, fullest monograph on this subject in our 

 language. As far as the author's labors themselves 

 are concerned, we feel it a duty to say that he has 

 not only exhausted his subject, but he has presented 

 to us, without the slightest hyperbole, the best di- 

 gested treatise on these diseases in our language. 

 He has carried its literature down to the present 

 moment, and has achieved his task in a manner 

 which cannot but redound to his credit. British, 

 American Journal, Oct. 1S61. 



We believe this treatise will come to be regarded 

 as high authority in this branch of medical practice, 

 and we cordially commend it to the favorable notice 

 of our brethren in the profession. For our own part, 

 we candidly confess that we have received n-any 

 new ideas from its perusal, as well as modified many 

 views which we have long, and, as we now think, 

 erroneously entertained, on the subject of syphilis. 



To sum up all in a few words, this book is one which 

 no practising physician or medical student can very 

 \vell afford to do without. American Med. Times, 

 Nov. 2, 1861. 



The whole work presents a complete history of 

 venereal diseases, comprising mu?h interesting and 

 valuable material that has been spread through med- 

 ical journals within the last twenty years the pe- 

 riod of many experiment* and investigations on the 

 subject the whole carefully digested by the aid of 

 the author's extensive personal experience, and 



1 offered to the profession in an admirable form. Its 

 completeness is secured by good plates, which are 

 especially full in the anatomy of the genital organs. 

 We have examined it with great satisfaction, and 

 congratulate the medical profession in America on 

 the nationality of a work that may fairly be called 

 original. Berkshire Med. Journal, Dec. 1861. 



One thing, however, we are impelled to say, that 

 we have met with no other book on syphilis, in the 

 English language, which gave so full, clear, and 

 impartial views of the important subjects or, 

 it treats. We cannot, however, refrain from ex- 

 pressing our satisfaction with the full and perspicu- 

 ous manner in which the subject has been presented, 

 and the careful attention to minute details, so use- 

 ful not to say indispensable in a practical ireatiae. 

 In conclusion, if we may be pardoned the use of a 

 phrase now become stereotyped, but which we here 

 employ in all seriousness and sincerity, we do not 

 hesitate to express the opinion that Dr. Bums lead's 

 Treatise on Venereal Diseases is a " work without 



j which no medical library will hereafter be consi- 



I dered complete." Boston Med. and Surg. Journal.

BARCLAY (A. W.), M. D., 



Assistant Physician to St. George's Hospital, kc. 



A MANUAL OF MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS ; being an Analysis of the Signs 



and Symptoms of Disease. Second American from the second and revised London edition. In 

 one neat octavo volume, extra cloth, of 451 pages. $2 50. 



The demand for a second edition of this work shows that the vacancy which it attempts to sup- 

 ply has been recognized by the profession, and that the efforts of the author to meet the want have 

 been successful. The revision which it has enjoyed will render it better adapted than before to 

 afford assistance to the learner in the prosecution of his studies, and to the practitioner who requires 

 a convenient and accessible manual for speedy reference in the exigencies of his daily duties. For 

 this latter purpose its complete and extensive Index renders it especially valuable, offering facilities 

 for immediately turning to any class of symptoms, or any variety of disease. 



The task of composing jmch^ a work is neither an j We hope the volume will have an extensive cir- 

 culation, not among students of medicine only, but 

 practitioners also. They will never regret a faith- 

 ful study of its pages. Cincinnati Lancet. 



An important acquisition to medical literature. 

 It is a work of high merit, both from the vast im- 

 portance of the subject upon which it treats, aod 

 also from the real ability displayed in ; *s elabora- 

 tion. In conclusion, let us bespeak for this volume 

 that attention of every student of our art which it 



easy nor a light one ; but Dr. Barclay has performed 

 it in a manner which meets our most unqualified 

 approbation. He is no mere theorist; he knows his 

 work thoroughly, and in attempting to perform it, 

 has not exceeded his powers. British Med. Journal . 



We venture to predict that the work will be de- 

 servedly popular, and soon become, like Watson's 

 Practice, an indispensable necessity to the practi- 

 tioner. N. A. Med. Journal. 



An inestimable work of reference for the young 

 practitioner and student. Nashville Med. Journal . 



so richly deserves that place in every medical 

 library which it can so well adora.-- Peninsular

of Pathology and Practical Medicine in the N. Y. College of Physicians and Surg sons, <fcc. la 



one octavo volume, of six hundred pages, extra cloth. Price $3 00. 



It is a work of great practical value and interest, [ stood deservedly high since its first publication. It 

 containing much that is new relative to the several will be seen that it has now reached its fourth edi- 

 diseases of which it treats, and, with the additions tion under the supervision of Prof. A. Clark, a gen- 



of the editor, is fully up to the times. The distinct' 

 ive features of the different forms of fever are plainly 

 and forcibly portrayed, and the lines of demarcation 

 carefully and accurately drawn, and to the Ameri- 

 can practitioner is a more valuable and safe guide 

 than any work on fever extant. Ohio Med. and 

 Surg. Journal. 

 This excellent monograph on febrile disease, has 



tleinan who, from the nature of his studies and pur- 

 suits, is well calculated to appreciate and discuss 

 the many intricate and difficult questions in patho- 

 logy. His annotations add much to the interest of 

 the work, and have brought it well up to the condi- 

 tion of the science as it exists at the present day 

 in regard to this class of diseases. Southern Med.
