WILSON (ERASMUS), M.D., F. R. S., 



Lecturer on Anatomy, London. 



A SYSTEM OF HUMAN ANATOMY, General and Special. Fourth Ameri- 

 can, from the last English edition. Edited by PAUL B. GODDARD, A. M., M. D. With two hun- 

 dred and fifty illustrations. Beautifully printed, in one large octavo volume, of nearly six hun- 

 dred pages. 



In many, if not all the Colleges of the Union, it 

 has become a standard text-book. This, of itself, 

 is sufficiently expressive of its value. A work very 

 desirable to the student; one, the possession of 

 which will greatly facilitate his progress in the 

 study of Practical Anatomy. New York Journal of 

 Medicine In evei T respect, this work as an anatomical 



guide for the student and practitioner, merits our

THE DISSECTOR; or, Practical and Surgical Anatomy. Modified and Re- 

 arranged, by PAUL BECK GODDARD, M. D. A new edition, with Revisions and Additions. In 

 one large and handsome volume, royal 12mo., with one hundred and fifteen illustrations. 



In passing this work again through the press, the editor has made such additions and improve- 

 ments as the advance of anatomical knowledge has rendered necessary to maintain the work in the 

 high reputation which it has acquired in the schools of the United States, as a complete and faithful 

 guide to the student of practical anatomy. A number of new illustrations have been added, espe- 

 cially in the portion relating to the complicated anatomy of Hernia. In mechanical execution the 

 work will be found superior to former editions.

ON DISEASES OF THE SKIN. Third American, from the third London 

 edition. In one neat octavo volume, of about five hundred pages, extra cloth. (Just Issued.) 



Also, to be had done up with fifteen beautiful steel plates, of which eight are exquisitely colored ; 

 representing the Normal and Pathological Anatomy of the Skin, together with accurately colored 

 delineations of more than sixty varieties of disease, most of them the size of nature. The Plates 

 are also for sale separate, done up in boards. 



The increased size of this edition is sufficient evidence that the author has not been content 

 with a mere republication, but has endeavored to maintain the high character of his work as the 

 standard text-book on this interesting and difficult class of diseases. He has thus introduced such 

 new matter as the experience of the last three or four years has suggested, and has made such 

 alterations as the progress of scientific investigation has rendered expedient. The illustrations have 

 also been materially augmented, the number of plates being increased from eight to sixteen. 



The "Diseases of the Skin," by Mr. Erasmus 

 Wilson, may nw be regarded as the standard work 

 in that department of medical literature. The 

 plates by which this edition is accompanied leave 

 nothing to be desired, so far as excellence of delinea- 

 tion and perfect accuracy of illustration are con- 

 cerned. Medico-Chirurgical Review. 



As a practical guide to the classification, diag- 

 nosis, and treatment of the diseases of the skin, the 

 book is complete. We know nothing, considered 

 in this aspect, better in our language; it is a safe 

 authority on all the ordinary matters which, in 



this range of diseases, engage the practitioner's 

 attention, and possesses the high quality unknown, 

 we believe, to every older manual of being on a 

 level with science's high-water mark ; a sound book 

 of practice. London Med. Times. 



Of these plates it is impossible to speak too highly. 

 The representations of the various forms of cuta- 

 neous disease are singularly accurate, and the color- 

 ing exceeds almost anything we have met wilh in 

 point of delicacy and finish. British and Foreign 

 Medical Review.

ON CONSTITUTIONAL AND HEREDITARY SYPHILIS, AND ON 



SYPHILITIC ERUPTIONS. In one small octavo volume, beautifully printed, with four exqui- 

 site colored plates, presenting more than thirty varieties of syphilitic eruptions. 



This, in many respects, is a remarkable work, pre- 

 senting views of theory and principles of practice 

 which, if true, must change completely the existing 

 state of professional opinion. New York Journal of 

 Medicine. 



Dr. Wilson's views on the general subject of 

 Syphilis appear to us in the main sound and judi- 

 cious, and we commend the book as an excellent 

 monograph on the subject. Dr. Wilson has pre- 

 sented us a very faithful and lucid description of I 



Syphilis and has cleared up many obscure points in 

 connection with its transmissibility, pathology and 

 sequclne. His facts and references will, we are satis- 

 fied, be received as decisive, in regard to many 

 questiones vexatse. They appear to us entitled to 

 notice at some length. \Ve have perhaps been some- 

 what prodigal of space in our abstract of this book. 

 But it is certainly a very good resume of received 

 opinions on Syphilis, and presents, to many, original 

 and striking views on the subject Med. Examiner.
