From the Preface. 



" This work was undertaken with the conviction that a treatise, such as that which the Author 

 hn? aimed to prepare, was needed as a text-book for the American student, and as a book of 

 reference for the busy practitioner. 



"No department of medicine has made greater advances within the last few years than Gyne- 

 cology ; yet the record of its progress is, for the most part, to be found only in special monographs, 

 journals, transactions of societies, <fcc., and is thus inaccessible to the mass of the profession in 

 this country. It has, therefore, seemed to the author that a volume which should, within a 

 limited space, present the latest aspect of the subject in a systematic form, could scarcely fail to 

 prove useful, while his position for the last thirteen years as a teacher in this department has 

 encouraged him, in the hope that his familiarity with the needs of the student may, to some extent, 

 have fitted him to undertake the task." 



The best text-book for students, and a perfect vade 

 mecum to the gynecologist. N. Y. Journal of Obstet- 

 rics, May, 1868. 



We have recently been almost flooded by works 

 from American sources on the allied subjects of ob- 

 stetrics and gynecology. Nor has quantity alone been 

 the most noticeable feature connected with them, for 

 their quality has invariably been of the highest. Dr. 

 Thomas's work is no exception to this rule ; it is pre- 

 eminently sound and practical, evincing much re- 

 search and great clinical experience. It is further 

 illustrated by upwards of two hundred engravings, 

 some of them of great value. London Med. Times 

 and Gaz., April 25, 1868. 



The book of Prof. Thomas is well calculated to do 

 away with this latter objection, and to accomplish 

 more towards the establishment of a rational system 



completeness, a clearness and simplicity, to be found 

 in no other book on the same subject within our 

 knowledge ; its views on uterine pathology are, to 

 our mind, more consQnant with reason aud common 

 sense than any other we have seen. Enjoying fine 

 opportunities in an extensive field of observation. Dr. 

 Thomas, as an author, has fully sustained his high 

 reputation as a teacher. We have no hesitation in 

 strongly recommending it to the profession as the best 

 exposition yet published of the subjects of which it 

 treats. Atlanta Med. and Surg. Journal, April, '68. 

 In no work with which we are acquainted, is there 

 to be found so full and complete an exhibit of the im- 

 proved means of diagnosis of the obscure subjects of 

 gynecology, or of their more enlightened therapy. 

 Did our space permit, we should be glad to go into an 

 extended review of the work before us, giving not 



of uterine therapeutics than any other work of its merely an outline of the subjects treated of, but full 



size in any language. We have rarely read any trea- 

 tise upon a medical topic that has given us better 

 satisfaction, or impressed us with the fitness of an au- 

 thor for the proper performance of a most responsible 

 task. It is perhaps unnecessary for us to commend the 

 work most heartily to every one who is or may be 

 liable to treat uterine diseases. N. York Medical Re- 

 cord, April 15, 1868. 



A work which will certainly add to the reputation 

 of its author, and come into general use in this coun- 

 try as a text-book. The style is exceedingly clear 

 and concise, and the views expressed eminently prac- 

 tical and scientific. Quarterly Journ. of Psychol. 

 Medicine, April, 1 868. 



extracts from the text itself. As it is, we can only j 

 recommend our readers to buy it, feeling convinced * 

 they will be amply repaid for the outlay. Leaven- 

 worth Medical Herald, May, 1868. 



Indeed, we do not know a better study in briefer 

 space, not for medical students merely, but for prac- 

 titioners, who may really wish to have light upon an 

 obscnre pathway, to be trained in the thorough in- 

 vestigation of diseases peculiar to women, than is 

 herein to be found. Western Journal of Medicine, 

 May, 1868. 



It is a masterly resumf of what is known, by an 

 experienced and honest -observer. The Profession 

 I is indebted to Prof. Thomas for thus tabulating the 



le work is concise and practical, avoiding the dis- , nnlch tha( hag been accepte< i as valuable and reliable 



in gynecology, but this is not by any means all the 

 merit of the work ; we have his ample experience, 

 given in his opinions on pathology and treatment, 

 which carry conviction by the confidence we feel that 

 they are th'e candid opinions of an honest and compe- 

 tent observer. Humboldt Med. Archives, April, IStiS. 



cussion of unsettled questions, but giving a judicious 

 resume of known facts. Chicago Med. Journal, 

 April, 1868. 



We are led to believe that it is the best work that 

 has yet appeared on the diseases of women. There 

 is about it a precision and accuracy, a fulness and
