THE SCIENCE AND ART OF SURGERY; BEING A TREATISE ON SURGICAL 



INJURIES, DISEASES, AND OPERATIONS. New and improved American, from the second enlarged 



and carefully revised London edition. Illustrated with over four hundred engravings on wood. 



In one large and handsome octavo volume, of one thousand closely printed pages, extra cloth, 



$4 50; leather, raised bands. $5 25. 



The very distinguished favor with which this work has been received on both sides of the Atlan- 

 tic has stimulated the author to render it even more worthy of the position which it has so rapidly 

 attained as a standard authority. Every portion has been carefully revised, numerous additions 

 have been made, and the most watchful care has been exercised to render it a complete exponent 

 of the most advanced condition of surgical science. In this manner the work has been enlarged by 

 about a hundred pages, while the series of engravings has been increased by more than a hundred, 

 rendering it one of the most thoroughly illustrated volumes before the profession. The additions of 

 the author having rendered unnecessary most of the notes of the former American editor, but little 

 has been added in this country; some few notes and occasional illustrations have, however, been 

 introduced to elucidate American modes of practice. 



It is, in our humble judgment, decidedly the best ; step of the operation, and not deserting him until th 



book of the kind in the English language. Stran 

 that just such books are notoftener produced by p 

 lic teachers of surgery in this country and Great

but no less true than astonishing, that of the many j subject fai'thfully'exhibited

the last fifteen or twenty years as text-books for 



medical students, this is the only one that even ap 



final issue of the case is decided. Sethoscope.

Its value is greatly enhanced by a very copious 

 well-arranged index. We regard this as one of the 

 most valuable contributions to modern surgery. To 

 one entering his novitiate of practice, we regard it 

 the most serviceable guide which he can consult. He 

 will find a fulness of detailleadinghim through every 



plete and perfect, each chapter full and explicit, each 

 ", we can only express out 



estimate of it in the aggregate. We consider it an 

 excellent contribution to surgery, as probably the 



best single volume now extant on the subject, and 

 with great pleasure we add it to our text-books.

Prof. Erichsen's work, for its size, has not been 

 surpassed; his nine hundred and eight pages, pro- 

 fusely illustrated, are rich in physiological, patholo- 

 gical, and operative suggestions, doctrines, details, 

 and processes ; and will prove a reliable resource 

 for information, both to physician and surgeon, in th 

 hour of peril. N. 0. Med. and Surg. Journal.

We regard it, in point both of arrangement and of 

 the marked ability of its treatment of the subjects, 

 as destined to take the first rank in works of this 

 class. So far as our information extends, it has at 

 present no equal. To the practitioner, as well as 

 the student, it will be invaluable in clearing up the 

 diagnosis of doubtful cases, and in shedding light 

 npon difficult phenomena. Buffalo Med. Journal.

 This is an admirable book, and because of its ex-

 those who are ambitious of a thorough knowledge

 It is, what we cannot call every book upon auscul-

 This volume belongs to a class of works which 

 confer honor upon their authors and enrich the do- 

 main of practical medicine. A cursory examination 



spect, indeed, his labors will take precedence, and 

 be the means of inviting to this useful department a 

 more general attention. O. Med. and Surg. Journ. 



We hope these few extracts taken from Dr. Flint's 

 work may convey some idea of its character and 

 importance. We would, however, advise every phy-

We do no f know that Dr. Flint has written any- > fencing to employ the very words of thedistinguished 

 thing which is not first rate ; but this, his latest con- I author, wherever it was possible, we have essayed

 and we trust it will promptly find its way into the 

 hands of every A mei ican student and physician.

With more than pleasure do we hail the advent of

passes all the others. The work is most comprehen- 

 sive in its scope, and most sound in the views it enun- 

 ciates. The descriptions are clear and methodical; 

 the statements are substantiated by facts, and are 

 made with such simplicity and sincerity, that with- 

 out them they would carry conviction. The style 

 is admirably clear, direct, and free from dryness 

 W ith Dr. Walshe's excellent, treatise before us, we 

 have no hesitation in saying that Dr. Flint's book is 

 the best work on the heart in the English language.
