THE NEW (3d) EDITION 

 THREE EDITIONS IN EIGHTEEN MONTHS 



Three large editions of Dr. Ashton's work have been required in eighteen 

 months. The author takes up each procedure necessary to gynecologic work 

 step by step, the student being led from one step to another, just as in studying 

 any non-medical subject, the minutest detail being explained in language that 

 cannot fail to be understood even at first reading. Nothing is left to be taken for 

 granted, the author not only telling his readers in every instance what 'should be 

 done, but also precisely how to do it. A distinctly original feature of the book is 

 the illustrations, numbering 1057 line drawings made especially under the author's 

 personal supervision from actual apparatus, living models, and dissections on the 

 cadaver. Among the many additions to this edition may be mentioned: Colonic 

 lavage and flushing, Hirst' s operation for vaginismus, Dudley' s treatment for cysto- 

 cele, Montgomery's round ligament operation, Chorio-epithelioma of the Uterus, 

 Passive Incontinence of Urine, and Moynihan's methods for Intestinal Anastomosis. 

 The illustrations also have been carefully studied and many changes made, and 

 a large number of new ones have been introduced. 



Howard A. Kelly, M. D. 



Professor of Gynecology, Johns Hopkins University 



" It is different from anything that has as yet appeared. The illustrations are particularly 

 clear and satisfactory. One specially good feature is the pains with which you describe so 

 many details so often left to the imagination." 



Charles B. Penrose, M. D. 



Formerly Professor of Gynecology in the University of Pennsylvania 



" I know of no book that goes so thoroughly and satisfactorily into all the details of every, 

 thing connected with the subject. In this respect your book differs from the others." 



George M. Edebohls, M. D. 



Professor of Diseases of Women, New York Post-Graduate Medical School 

 " A text-book most admirably adapted to teach gynecology to those who must get theil 

 Itnowledge, even to the minutest and most elementary details, from books."
