JUST READY A MASTER WORK 

 ILLUSTRATED BY AUGUST HORN AND HERMANN BECKER 



This monumental work, the fruit of over ten years of untiring labors, will 

 remain for many years the last word upon the subject. Written by those men 

 who have brought, step by step, the operative treatment of uterine myoma to 

 such perfection that the mortality is now less than one per cent., it stands out as 

 the record of greatest achievement of recent times. Some idea of the systematic 

 way in which the work has been carried through may be had from the following 

 extract from the preface : 



' ' We started off without any preconceived theories and determined carefully 

 to analyze the cases at our disposal. After several months of indecision as to the 

 best method of handling the subject, we finally adopted the card system. Every 

 history and pathological description was read and each point of importance was 

 underscored. Then a card was made of each point. This card also had the case 

 number and the pathological number. Some cases contained little or nothing of 

 interest ; for other cases, from five to ten cards were necessary. As a result we 

 had several thousand cards. These naturally fell under certain main headings. 

 This gave us a more concrete idea of the material and clearly indicated the 

 chapter classification. The card-index was of the greatest assistance ; in the 

 first place, because it enabled us to get every point of interest, and, secondly, 

 because when a given subject was under discussion it was only necessary to pick 

 out the cards of that group and then select the ten or twenty histories, as the case 

 might be, instead of each time going through sixteen hundred histories, with a 

 strong likelihood of overlooking several cases. ' ' 



The illustrations have been made with wonderful accuracy in detail by Mr. 

 August Horn and Mr. Hermann Becker, whose superb work is so well known 

 that comment is unnecessary. For painstaking accuracy, for attention to every 

 detail, and as an example of the practical results accruing from the association 

 of the operating amphitheater with the pathologic laboratory, this work will stand 

 as an enduring testimonial.
