GROSS, S. D., M. L>., LL. D., J>. C. L. Oxon., LL. D. 

 Cantab., 



Emeritus Professor of Surgery in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. 

 A. System of Surgery : Pathological, Diagnostic, Therapeutic and Operative. 

 Sixth edition, thoroughly revised and greatly improved. In two large and beautifully- 

 printed imperial octavo volumes containing 2382 pages, illustrated by 1623 engravings. 

 Strongly bound in leather, raised bands, $15 ; half Russia, raised bands, 16. 



His System of Surgery, which, since its first edi- 

 tion in 1859, has been a standard work in this 

 country as well as in America, in "the whole 

 domain of surgery," tells how earnest and labori- 

 ous and wise a surgeon he was. how thoroughly 

 he appreciated the work done by nien in other 

 countries, and how much he contributed to pro- 

 mote the science and practice of surgery in his 

 own. There has been no man to whom America 

 is so much indebted in this respect as the Nestor 

 of surgery. British Medical Journal, May 10, 1884. 



Dr. Gross' System of Surgery has long been the 

 standard work on that subject for students and 

 practitioners. London Lancet, May 10, 1884. 



The work as a whole needs no commendation. 

 Many years ago it earned for itself the enviable rep- 

 utation of the leading American work on surgery, 

 and it is still capable of maintaining that standard. 

 The reason for this need only be mentioned to be 

 appreciated. The author has always been calm 

 and judicious in his statements, has based his con- 

 clusions on much study and personal experience, 

 has been able to grasp his subject in its entirety, 



and, above all, has conscientiously adhered to 

 truth and fact, weighing the evide'nce, pro and 

 con, accordingly. A considerable amount of new 

 material has been introduced, and altogether the 

 distinguished author has reason to be satisfied 

 that he has placed the work fully abreast of the 

 state of our knowledge. Med. Record, Nov. 18, 1882. 

 \Ve regard Gross' System of Surgery not only as 

 a singularly rich storehouse of scientific informa- 

 tion, but as marking an epoch in the literary his- 

 tory of surgery. The present edition has received 

 the most careful revision at the hands of the emi- 

 nent author himself, assisted in various instances 

 by able specialists in various branches. All depart- 

 ments of the vast and ever-increasing literature of 

 the science have been drawn upon for their most 

 recent expressions. The late advances made in 

 surgical practice have been carefully noted, such 

 as the recent developments of Listerism and the 

 improvements in gynaecological operations. In 

 every respect the work reflects lasting credit on 

 American medical literature. Medical and Surgical 

 Reporter. Nov. 11. 1882. 



ASHHTTRST, JOHN, Jr., M. D., 



Professor of Clinical Surgery, Univ. of Penna., Surgeon to the Episcopal Hospital, Philadelphia. 

 The Principles and Practice of Surgery. Third edition, enlarged and re- 

 vised. In one large and handsome octavo volume of 1060 pages, with 555 illustrations. 

 Cloth, $6 ; leather, $7 ; very handsome half Russia, raised bands, $7.50. 



Dr. Ashhurst's Surgery is a condensed treatise 

 covering the whole domain of the science in one 

 manageable volume. The present edition has had 

 a thorough revision. The novelties in surgical 

 practice and th'e recent observations in surgical 

 science have been incorporated, but the size of the 

 volume has not been materially increased. The 

 author's arrangement is perspicuous, and his 

 language correct and clear. An excellent index 

 closes the work .-Med. and Surg. Reporter, Oct. 28,'82. 



The author, long known as a thorough student 

 of surgery, and one of the most accomplished 

 scholars in the country, aims to give in this work 

 "a condensed but comprehensive description of 

 the modes of practice now generally employed in 

 the treatment of surgical affections, with a plain 

 exposition of the principles upon which these 

 modes of practice are based." In this he has so 

 well succeeded that it will be a surprise to the 

 reader to know how much practical knowledge ex- 

 tending over such a wide range of research is com- 



pressed in a volume of this size. This feature of 

 the work must be its best claim for continued 

 popularity with students and practitioners. In 

 fact, in this respect it is without an equal in any 

 language. In the present edition many novelties 

 in surgical practice are introduced, many modifi- 

 cations of previous statements made, and several 

 new illustrations added. Med. Rec., Nov. 18, 1882. 

 It treats in a very thorough and satisfactory 

 manner all the subjects in the various departments 

 of surgery. The medical student and general prac- 

 titioner of medicine will find it admirably adapted 

 to their wants, the former as a text-book, and the 

 latter as a most valuable work of reference when 

 he wishes to refresh his mind and obtain the latest 

 information on any subject of surgery. In revising 

 his work for a third edition, the author has spared 

 no pains to render it worthy of a continuance of 

 the favor with which it has heretofore been re- 

 ceived. We predict an increasing demand for 

 the work. Cincinnati Medical News, Nov., 1882.

BFThis volume is devoted entirely to operative sur- every student should possess one. This work 

 gery, and is intended to familiarize the student does away with the necessity of pondering over 

 with the details of operations and the different larger works on surgery for descriptions of opera- 

 modes of performing them. The work is hand- tions, as it presents in a nutshell what is wanted 

 somely illustrated, and the descriptions are clear by the surgeon without an elaborate search to 

 and well-drawn. It is a clever and useful volume; find it. Maryland Medical Journal, August, 1878.
