HENRY C. LEA'S SON & Co.'s PUBLICATIONS Surgery. 



HOLMES, TIMOTHY, M. A., 



Surgeon and Lecturer on Surgery at St. George's Hospital, London. 



A System of Surgery ; Theoretical and Practical. IN TREATISES BY 

 VAEIOUS AUTHORS. AMERICAN EDITION, THOROUGHLY REVISED AND RE-EDITED 

 by JOHN H. PACKARD, M. D., Surgeon to the Episcopal and St. Joseph's Hospitals, 

 Philadelphia, assisted by a corps of thirty-three of the most eminent American surgeons. 

 In three large and very handsome imperial octavo volumes containing 3137 double- 

 columned pages, with 979 illustrations on wood and 13 lithographic plates, beautifully 

 colored. Price per volume, cloth, $6.00 ; leather, $7.00 ; half Russia, $7.50. Per set, cloth, 

 $18.00 ; leather, $21.00 ; half Russia, $22.50. Sold only by subscription. 



VOLUME I. contains GENERAL PATHOLOGY, MORBID PROCESSES, INJURIES IN GEN- 

 ERAL, COMPLICATIONS OF INJURIES AND INJURIES OF REGIONS. 



VOLUME II. contains DISEASES OF ORGANS OF SPECIAL SENSE, CIRCULATORY SYS- 

 TEM, DIGESTIVE TRACT AND GENITO-URINARY ORGANS. 



VOLUME III. contains DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS, BONES, JOINTS AND 

 MUSCLES, DISEASES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, GUNSHOT WOUNDS, OPERATIVE AND 

 MINOR SURGERY, AND MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS (including an essay on HOSPITALS). 



This great work, issued some years since in England, has won such universal confi- 

 dence wherever the language is spoken that its republication here, in a form more 

 thoroughly adapted to the wants of the American practitioner, has seemed to be a duty 

 owing to the profession. To accomplish this, each article has been placed in the hands of 

 a gentleman specially competent to treat its subject, and no labor has been spared to bring 

 each one up to the foremost level of the times, and to adapt it thoroughly to the practice 

 of the country. In certain cases this has rendered necessary the substitution of an entirely 

 new essay for the original, as in the case of the articles on Skin Diseases, on Diseases of 

 the Absorbent System, and on Anaesthetics, in the use of which American practice differs 

 from that of England. The same careful and conscientious revision has been pursued 

 throughout, leading to an increase of nearly one-fourth in matter, while the series of 

 illustrations has been nearly trebled, and the whole is presented as a complete exponent 

 of British and American Surgery, adapted to the daily needs of the working practitioner. 



In order to bring it within the reach of every member of the profession, the five vol- 

 umes of the original have been compressed into three by employing a double-columned 

 royal octavo page, and in this improved form it is offered at less than one-half the price of the 

 original. It is printed and bound to match in every detail with Reynolds' System of Medi- 

 cine. The work will be sold by subscription only, .and in due time every member of the 

 profession will be called upon and offered an opportunity to subscribe. 



The authors of the original English edition are 

 men of the front rank in England, and Dr. Packard 

 has been fortunate in securing as his American 

 coadjutors such men as Bartholow, Hyde, Hunt, 

 Conner, Stimson, Morton, Hodgen, Jewell and 

 their colleagues. As a whole, the work will be 

 solid and substantial, and a valuable addition to 

 the library of any medical man. It is more wieldly 

 and more useful than the English edition, and with 

 its companion work " Reynolds' System of Medi- 

 cine " will well represent the present state of our 

 science. One who is familiar with those two works 

 will be fairly well furnished head-wise and hand- 

 wise. The Medical News, Jan. 7, 1882. 



Great credit is due to the American editor and 

 his co-laborers for revising and bringing within 

 easy reach of American surgeons a work which has 

 been received with such universal favor on the 

 other side of the Atlantic as Holmes' System of 

 Surgery. With regard to the mechanical execu- 

 tion of the work, neither pains nor money seem 

 to have been spared by the publishers. Med. and 

 Surq. Reporter, Sept, 14, 1881. 



This work is cyclopsedic in character, and every 

 subject is treated in an exhaustive manner. It is 

 especially designed for a reference book, which 

 every practising surgeon should have under hand 

 in cases which require more than ordinary knowl- 

 edge. Chicago Med. Journ. and Exam., Feb. 1882. 



HAMILTON, FRANK H., M. D., LL. D., 



Surgeon to Bellevue Hospital, New York. 



A Practical Treatise on Fractures and Dislocations. Seventh edition, 

 thoroughly revised and much improved. In one very handsome octavo volume of about 

 1000 pages, with about 375 illustrations. Cloth, $5.50 ; leather, $6.50 ; very handsome 

 half Russia, open back, $7.00. Shortly. 



So exalted is the position universally accorded to this now classic work that during 

 its twenty-five years' existence, no attempt has been made to occupy the ground it so ably 

 covers. It therefore continues to hold its place as the only complete work in any lan- 

 guage on Fractures and Dislocations, and its translation into French and German is a 

 well-deserved recognition of its merit. This edition has been subjected to a thorough 

 revision both in text and illustrations, and will doubtless maintain its position as the 

 standard authority on its subject.
