 This is volume two of The American System of 

 Obstetrics, completing the wonderfully full series 

 issued from the house of Lea Brothers & Co. dur- 

 ing the past two years. Two magnificent volumes 

 devoted to gynecology, and now two like volumes 

 embracing everything pertaining to obstetrics. 

 These volumes are the contributions of the most 

 eminent gentlemen of this country in these de- 

 partments of the profession. Each contributor 

 presents a monograph upon his special topic, 

 apparently without restriction in space, so that 

 everything in the way of history, theory, methods, 

 and results is presented to our fullest need. The 



structive in every direction of inquiry. The Ob- 

 stetric Gazette, September, 1889. 



There can be but little doubt that this work will 

 find the same favor with the profession that has 

 been accorded to the "System of Medicine by 

 American Authors," and the "System of Gynecol- 

 ogy byAmerican Authors." One is at a loss to know 

 wnat to say of this volume, for fear that just and 

 merited praise may be mistaken for flattery. The 

 subjects of some of the papers are discussed in 

 various works on obstetrics, though not to the full 

 extent that is found in this volume. The papers 

 of Drs. Engelmann, Martin, Hirst, Jaggard and 

 Reeve are incomparably beyond anything that can 

 be found in obstetrical works. Certainly the Edi-

 wise selection of his contributors. Journal of the 

 American Medical Association, Sept. 8, 1888. 



In our notice of the "System of Practical Medi- 

 cine by American Authors," we made the follow- 

 ing statement: "It is a work of which the pro- 

 fession in this country can feel proud. Written 

 exclusively by American physicians who are ac- 

 quainted with all the varieties of climate in the 

 United States, the character of the soil, the man- 

 ners and customs of the people, etc., it is pecul- 

 iarly adapted to the wants of American practition- 

 ers of medicine, and it seems to us that every one 

 of them would desire to have it." Every word 

 thus expressed in regard to the "American Sys- 

 tem of Practical Medicine" is applicable to the 

 " System of Gynecology by American Authors," 

 which we desire now to bring to the attention of 

 our readers. It, like the other, has been written 

 exclusively by American physicians who are 

 acquainted with all the characteristics of American 

 people, who are well informed in regard to the 

 peculiarities of American women, their manners* 

 customs, modes of living, etc. As every practis- 

 ing physician is called upon to treat diseases of 

 females, and as they constitute a class to which 

 the family physician must give attention, and 

 cannot pass over to a specialist, we do not know of 

 a work in any department of medicine that we 

 should so strongly recommend medical men gen- 

 erally purchasing. Cincinnati Med. News, July,1887^ 



THOMAS, T. GAILLAKD, M. D., LL. D., 



Professor of Diseases of Women in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, N. F. 



A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Women. Fifth edition, thoroughly 

 revised and rewritten. In one large and handsome octavo volume of 810 pages, with 266 

 illustrations. Cloth, $5.00; leather, $6.00. 



That the previous editions of the treatise of Dr. 

 Thomas were thought worthy of translation into 

 German, French, Italian and Spanish, is enough 

 to give it the stamp of genuine merit. At home it 

 has made its way into the library of every obste- 



trician and gynaecologist as a safe guide to practice. 

 No small number of additions have been made to 

 the present edition to make it correspond to re- 

 cent improvements in treatment. Pacific Medical 

 and Surgical Journal, Jan. 1881.

It is a pleasure to read a book so thoroughly 

 good as this one. The special qualities which are 

 conspicuous are thoroughness in covering the 

 whole ground, clearness of description and con- 

 ciseness of statement. Another marked feature of 

 the book is the attention paid to the details of 

 many minor surgical operations and procedures, 

 as, for instance, the use of tents, application of 

 leeches, and use of hot water injections. These 



are among the more common methods of treat- 

 ment, and yet very little is said about them in 

 many of the textbooks. The book is one to be 

 warmly recommended especially to students and 

 general practitioners, who need a concise but com- 

 plete resume of the whole subject. Specialists, too 

 will find many useful hints in its pages. Boston
