CHURCHILL (FLEETWOOD), M. D. f M. R. I. A., Ac. 



ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN; including those of Pregnancy and Child- 

 bed. A new American edition, revised by the Author. With Notes and Additions, by D. FRAN- 

 CIS CONDIE, M. D., author of "A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children." With nume- 

 rous illustrations. In one large and handsome octavo volume, extra cloth, of 768 pages. $3 00. 

 This edition of Dr. Churchill's very popular treatise may almost be termed a new work, so 

 thoroughly has he revised it in every portion. It will be found greatly enlarged, and completely 

 brought up to the most recent condition of the subject, while the very handsome series of illustra- 

 tions introduced, representing such pathological conditions as can be accurately portrayed, present 

 a novel feature, and afford valuable assistance to the young practitioner. Such additions as ap- 

 peared desirable for the American student have been made by the editor, Dr. Condie, while a 

 marked improvement in the mechanical execution keeps pace with the advance in all other respects 

 which the volume has undergone, while the price has been kept at the former very moderate rate , 



It comprises, unquestionably, one of the most ex- 

 act and comprehensive expositions of the present 

 state of medical knowledge in respect to the diseases 

 of women that has yet been published. Am. Journ. 

 Med. Sciences. 



This work is the most reliable which we possess 

 on this subject; and is deservedly popular with the 

 profession. Charleston Med. Journal, July, 1857. 



We know of no author who deserves that appro- 

 bation, on "the diseases of females," to the same 



extent that Dr. Churchill does. His, indeed, is the 

 only thorough treatise we know of on the subject ; 

 and it may be commended to practitioners and stu- 

 dents as a masterpiece in its particular department.

As a comprehensive manual for students, or a 

 work of reference for practitioners, it surpasses any 

 other that has ever issued on the same subject from 

 the British press. Dublin Quart. Journal.

ELEMENTS OF MEDICINE; a Compendious View of Pathology and Thera- 

 peutics, or the History and Treatment of Diseases. Second edition, revised. In one large and 

 handsome octavo volume, ol 750 pages, extra cloth. $3 75. 



The steady demand which has so soon exhausted the first edition of this work, sufficiently shows 

 that the author was not mistaken in supposing that a volume of this character was needed an 

 elementary manual of practice, which should present the leading principle* of medicine with the 

 practical results, in a condensed and perspicuous manner. Disencumbered of unnecessary detail 

 and fruitless speculations, it embodies what is most requisite for the student to learn, and at the 

 same time what the active practitioner wants when obliged, in the daily calls of his profession, to 

 refresh his memory on special points. The clear and attractive style of the author renders the 

 whole easy of comprehension, while his long experience gives to his teachings an authority every- 

 where acknowledged. Few physicians, indeed, have had wider opportunities for observation and 

 experience, and few, perhaps, have used them to better purpose. As the result of a long life de- 

 voted to study and practice, the present edition, revised and brought up to the date of publication, 

 will doubtless maintain the reputation already acquired as a condensed and convenient American 

 text-book on the Practice of Medicine. 



DRUITT (ROBERT), M.R. C.S., &c. 

 THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MODERN SURGERY. A new 



and revised American from the eighth enlarged and improved London edition. Illustrated with 



four hundred and thirty-two wood-engravings. In one very handsomely printed octavo volume 



of nearly 700 large pages, extra cloth,. $3 50 ; leather, $4 00. 



A work which like DRUITT'S SURGERY has for so many years maintained the position of a lead- 

 ing favorite with all classes of the profession, needs no special recommendation to attract attention 

 to a revised edition. It is only necessary to state that the author has spared no pains to keep the 

 work up to its well earned .reputation of presenting in a small and convenient compass the latest 

 condition of every department of surgery, considered both as a science and as an art; and that the 

 services of a competent American editor have been employed to introduce whatever novelties may 

 have escaped the author's attention, or may prove of service to the American practitioner. As 

 several editions have appeared in London since the issue of the last American reprint, the volume 

 has had the benefit of repeated revisions by the author, resulting in a very thorough alteration and 

 improvement. The extent of these additions may be estimated from the fact that it now contains 

 about one-third more matter than the previous American edition, and that notwithstanding the 

 adoption of a smaller type, the pages have been increased by about one hundred, while nearly two 

 hundred and fifty wood-cuts have been added to the former list of illustrations. 



A marked improvement will also be perceived in the mechanical and artistical execution of the 

 work, which, printed in the best style, on new type, and fine paper, leaves little to be desired as 

 regards external finish ; while at the very low price affixed it will be found one of the cheapest 

 volumes accessible to the profession. 



This popular volume, now a most comprehensive 

 work on surgery, has undergone many corrections, 

 improvements, and additions, and the principles and 

 the practice of the art have been brought down to 

 the latest record and observation. Of the operations 

 in surgery it is impossible to speak too highly. The 

 descriptions are so clear and concise, and the illus- 

 trations so accurate and numerous, that the student 

 can have no difficulty, with instrument in hand, and 

 book by his side, over the dead body, in obtaining 

 a proper knowledge and sufficient tact in this much 

 neglected department of medical education. British 

 and Foreign Medico-Chirurg. Review, Jan. 1360. 



In the present edition the author has entirely re- 



nothing of real practical importance has been omit- 

 ted ; it presents a faithful epitome of everything re- 

 lating t > surgery up to the present hour. It is de- 

 servedly a popular manual, both with the student 

 and practitioner. London Lancet, Nov. 19, 1859. 



In closing this brief notice, we recommend as cor- 

 dially as ever this most useful and comprehensive 

 hand-book. It must prove a vast assistance, not 

 only to the student of surgery, but also to the busy 

 practitioner who may not have the leisure to devote 

 himself to the study of more lengthy volumes 

 London Med. Times and Gazette, Oct. 22, 1859. 



In a word, this eighth edition of Dr. Druitt'a 



written many of the chapters, and has incorporated Manual of Surgery is all that the surgical student 

 the various improvements and additions in modern j or practitioner could desire. Dublin Quaritrijr 

 urgery. On carefully going over it, we find tiiat , Journal of Med. Sciences, Nov. 1S59.
