OX DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN; including Displacements 



of the Uterus. With original illustrations. Second edition, revised and enlarged. In 

 one beautifully printed octavo volume of 531 pages, extra cloth. $4 50. (Now Ready.) 

 In the preparation of this edition the author has spared no pains to improve it with the results 

 of his observation and study during the interval which has elapsed since the first appearance of 

 the work. Considerable additions have thus been made to it, which have been partially accom- 

 modated by an enlargement in the size of the page, to avoid increasing unduly the bulk of the 

 volume. 



From PROF. W. H. BYFORP, of the Rush Mtdical 

 College, Chicago. 



The book bears the impress of a master hand, and 

 must, as its predecessor, prove acceptable to the pro- 

 fes-iion. In diseases of women Dr. Hodge has estab- 

 lished a school of treatment that has become world- 

 wide in fame. 



Professor Hodge's work is truly an original one 

 from beginning to end, consequently no one can pe- 

 ruse its pages without learning something new. The 

 book, whicti is by no means a large one, is divided into 

 two grand sections, so to speak : first, that treating of 

 the nervous sympathies of the uterus, and, secondly, 

 that which speaks of the mechanical treatment of dis- 

 placements of that organ. He is disposed, as a non- 

 believer in the frequency of inflammations of the 



uterus, to take strong ground against many of the 

 highest authorities in this branch of medicine, and 

 the arguments which he offers in support of his posi- 

 tion are, to say the least, well put. Numerous wood- 

 cuts adorn this portion of the work, and add incalcu- 

 lably to the proper appreciation of the variously 

 shaped instruments referred to by our author. As a 

 contribution to the study of women's diseases, it is of 

 great value, and is abundantly able to stand on its 

 own merits. .V. Y. Medical Record, Sept. 15, 1868. 



In this point of view, the treatise of Professor 

 Hodge will be indispensable to every student in its 

 department. The large, fair type and general perfec- 

 tion of workmanship will render it doubly welcome.

(CHARLES], M.D. 

 LECTURES OX THE DISEASES OF WOMEN. Third American, 



from the Third London edition. In one neat octavo volume of about 550 pages, extra 



cloth. $3 75; leather, $4 75. (Now Ready.) 



The reputation which this volume has acquired as a standard book of reference in its depart- 

 ment, renders it only necessary to say that the present edition has received a careful revision at 

 the hands of the author, resulting in a considerable increase of size. A few notices of previous 

 editions are subjoined. 



The manner of the author is excellent, his descrip- 

 tions graphic and perspicuous, and bis treatment up 

 to the level of the time clear, precise, definite, and 

 marked by strong common sense. Chicago Med. 

 Journal, Dec. 1S61. 



We cannot too highly recommend this, the second 

 edition of Dr. West's excellent lectures on the dis- 

 eases of females. We know of no other book on this 

 subject from which we have derived as much pleasure 

 and instruction. Every page gives evidence of the 

 honest, earnest, and diligent searcher after truth. He 

 is not the mere compiler of other men's ideas, but his 

 lectures are the result of ten years' patient investiga- 

 tion i n one of the widest fields for women's diseases 

 St. Bartholomew's Hospital. As a teacher, Dr. West 

 is simple and earnest in his language, clear and com- 

 prehensive in his perceptions, and logical in his de- 

 ductions. Cincinnati Lancet, Jan. 1S62. 



We return the author our grateful thanks for the 

 vast amount of instruction he has afforded us. His 

 valuable treatise needs no eulogy on our part. His 

 graphic diction and truthful pictures of disease all 

 speak for themselves. Medico-Chirurg. Review. 



Most justly esteemed a standard work It 



bears evidence of having been carefully revised, and 

 is well worthy of the fame it has already obtained.

As a writer, Dr. West stands, in our opinion, se- 

 cond only to Watson, the "Macaulay of Medicine;" 

 he possesses that happy faculty of clothing instruc- 

 tion in easy garments ; combining pleasure with 

 profit, he leads his pupils, in spite of the ancient pro- 

 verb, along a royal road to learning. His work is one 

 which will not satisfy the extreme on either side, but 

 it is one that will please the great majority who are 

 seeking truth, and one that will convince the student 

 that he has committed himself to a candid, safe, and 

 valuable guide. N. A. Med.-Chirurg Review. 



We must now conclude this hastily written sketch 

 with the confident assurance to our readers that the 

 work will well repay perusal. The conscientious, 

 painstaking, practical physician is apparent on every 

 page. N. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



We have to say of it, briefly and decidedly, that it 

 is the best work on the subject in any language, and 

 that it stamps Dr. West as the facite princtps of 

 British obstetric authors. Edinburgh Med. Journal. 



We gladly recommerfd his lectures as in the highest 

 degree instructive to all who are interested in ob- 

 stetric practice. London. Lancet. 



We know of no treatise of the kind so complete, 

 and yet so compact. Chicago Med. Journal.
