A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF CHILDREN. 



Sixth edition, revised and augmented. In one large octavo volume of nearly 800 closely- 

 printed pages, extra cloth, $5 25 ; leather, $6 25. (Now Ready.) 



From the Author 's Preface. 



In preparing for the press this sixth edition of his treatise on the Diseases of Children, the great 

 aim of the author has been to present a complete and faithful exposition of the pathology and 

 therapeutics of the maladies incident to the earlier stages of existence. The entire work has 

 undergone a careful and thorough revision ; while in the different sections has been incorporated 

 every important observation in reference to the diseases of which they treat, that has been re- 

 corded since the appearance of the last edition. Every effort has been made, and every available 

 source of information sought after, to render the treatise a reliable and useful guide to the actual 

 state of medical knowledge in reference to all those diseases which either exclusively or most usu- 

 ally occur between birth and puberty diseases which form, in some degree, a class apart from 

 those of the adult and demand for their cure a particular plan of treatment. 



Dr. Condie has been one of those who have per-; days by wandering through its pages, and at the same 

 formed such a service satisfactorily, and, as a result, ' 

 his popular, comprehensive, and practical work has 

 received that high compliment of approval on the 

 part of his brethren, which several editions incontes- 

 tably set forth. The present edition, which is the 

 sixth, is fully up to the times in the discussion of all 

 those points in the pathology and treatment of infan- 

 tile diseases which have been brought forward by the 

 German and French teachers. As a whole, however, 

 the work is the best American one that we have, and 



time to be able to recommend it to the youngest mem- 

 bers of the profession, as well as to those who have 

 the older editions on their shelves. St. Louis Ned. 

 Reporter, Feb. 15, 1868. 



The work of Dr. Condie is unquestionably a very 

 able one. It is practical in its character, as its title 

 imports ;. but the practical precepts recommended in 

 it are based, as all.practice should be, upon a familiar 

 knowledge of disease. The opportunities of Dr. Con- 

 in its special adaptation to Amencan'practftTon"er~sTt ! die for the practical study of the diseases of children 

 certainly has no equal. New York Med. Record, bave been great, and his work is a proof that they have 

 March 2 1868 no * been thrown away. He has read much, but ob- 



, served more ; and we think that we may safely say 



No other treatise on this subject is better adapted that the American student canuot find, in his own 

 to the American physician. Dr. Condie has long stood I i anguage a b et t e r book upon the subject of which it 

 before his countrymen as one peculiarly pre-eminent ' 

 in this department of medicine. His work has been 

 so long a standard for practitioners and medical stu- 

 dents that we do no more now than refer to the fact 

 that it has reached its sixth edition. We are glad 



treats. Am. Journal Medical Sciences. 



We pronounced the first edition to be the best work 

 on the diseases of children in the English language, 

 and, notwithstanding all that has been published, we 

 once more to refresh the impressions of our earlier still regard it in that light. Medical Examiner.

A COMPLETE PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF 



CHILDREN. In one large octavo volume of about 650 pages. (Nearly Ready.) 

 The object of the author has been to present within a moderate compass a complete but concise 

 account of the pathology and therapeutics of the diseases incident to infancy and childhood, as 

 viewed from the standpoint of the most advanced condition of medical science. The unusual 

 opportunities which he has enjoyed of clinical observation in public and private practice cannot 

 fail to render the work one of great practical value.

Of all the English writers on the diseases of chil- 

 dren, there is no one so entirely satisfactory to us as 

 Dr. West. For years we have held his opinion as 

 judicial, and have regarded him as one of the highest 

 living authorities in the difficult department of medi- 

 cal science in which he is most widely known. His 

 writings are characterized by a sound, practical com- 

 mon sense, at the same time that they bear the marks 

 of the most laborious study and investigation. We 

 commend it to all as a most reliable adviser on many 

 occasions when many treatises on the same subjects 

 will utterly fail to help us. It is supplied with a very 

 copious general index, and a special index to the for- 

 muhe scattered throughout the work. Boston Med. 

 and Surg. Journal, April 26, 1866. 



Dr. West's volume is, in our opinion, incomparably 

 the best authority upon the maladies of children 

 that the practitioner can consult. Withal, too a 

 minor matter, truly, but still not one that should be 

 neglected Dr. West's composition possesses a pecu- 

 liar charm, beauty and clearness of expression, thus 



affording the reader much pleasure, even independent 

 of that which arises from the acquisition of valuable 

 truths. Cincinnati Jour, of Medicine, March, 1866. 

 We have long regarded it as the most scientific and 

 practical book on diseases of children which has yet 

 appeared in this country. Buffalo Medical Journal. 



Dr. West's book is the best that has ever been 

 written in the English language on the diseases of 

 infancy and childhood. Columbus Review of Med. 

 and Surgery. 



There is no part of the volume, no subject on which 

 it treats which does not exhibit the keen perception, 

 the clear judgment, and the sound reasoning of the 

 author. It will be found a most useful guide to the 

 young practitioner, directing him in his management 

 of children's diseases in the clearest possible manner, 

 and enlightening him on many a dubious pathological 

 point, while the older one will find in it many a sug- 

 gestion and practical hint of great value. Brit. Am.
