CHURCHILL (FLEETWOOD), M . D., M . R. I. A., fcc. 

 ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN; including those of Pregnancy and Child- 

 bed. A new American edition, revised by the Author. With Notes and Additions, by D FRAN- 

 CIS CONDIE, M. D., author of " A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children." With nume- 

 rous illustrations. In one large and handsome octavo volume, leather, of 768 pages. $3 00. 

 This edition of Dr. Churchill's very popular treatise may almost be termed a new work, so 

 thoroughly has he revised it in every portion. It will be found greatly enlarged, and thoroughly 

 brought up to the most recent condition oi the subject, while the very handsome series of illustra- 

 tions introduced, representing such pathological conditions as can be accurately portrayed, present 

 a novel feature, and afford valuable assistance to the young practitioner. Such additions as ap- 

 peared desirable for the American student have been made by the editor, Dr. Condie, while a 

 marked improvement in the mechanical execution keeps pace with the advance in all other respects 

 which the volume has undergone, while the price has been kept at the former very moderate rate.

It comprises, unquestionably, one of the most ex- 

 act and comprehensive expositions of the present 

 state of medical knowledge in respect to the diseases 

 of women that has yet been published. Am. Journ. 

 Med. Sciences, July, 1857. 



We hail with much pleasure the volume before 

 us, thoroughly revised, corrected, and brought up 

 to the latest date, by Dr. Churchill himself, and 

 rendered still more valuable by notes, from the ex- 

 perienced and able pen of Dr. D. F. Condie. South- 

 ern Med. and Surg. Journal, Oct. 1&57. 



This work is the most reliable which we possess 

 on this subject; and is deservedly popular with the 

 profession. Charleston Med. Journal, July, 1857. 



Dr. Churchill's treatise on the Diseases of Women 

 is, perhaps, the most popular of his works with the 

 profession in this country. It has been very gene- 



practice. The present edition has undergone the 

 most elaborate revision, and additions of an import- 

 ant character have been made, to render it a com- 

 plete exponent, of the present state of our knowledge 

 of these diseases. N. Y. Journ. of Med., Sept. 1857. 



We know of no author who deserves that appro- 

 bation, on "the diseases of females," to the same 

 extent that Dr. Churchill does. His, indeed, is the 

 only thorough treatise we know of on the subject ; 

 and it may be commended to practitioners and stu- 

 dents as a masterpiece in its particular department.

As a comprehensive manual for students, or a 

 work of reference for practitioners, it surpasses any 

 other that has ever issued on the same subject frons 

 the British press. Dublin Quart. Journal.

ELEMENTS OF MEDICINE; a Compendious View of Pathology and Thera- 

 peutics, or the History and Treatment of Diseases. Second edition, revised. In one large and 

 handsome octavo volume of 750 pages, leather. $3 75. (Now Ready, June, 1859.) 

 The steady demand which has so soon exhausted the first edition of this work, sufficiently shows 

 that the author was not mistaken in supposing that a volume of this character was needed an 

 elementary manual of practice, which should present the leading principles of medicine with the 

 practical results, in a condensed and perspicuous manner. Disencumbered of unnecessary detail 

 and fruitless speculations, it embodies what is most requisite for the student to learn, and at the 

 same time what the active practitioner wants when obliged, in the daily calls of his profession, to 

 refresh his memory on special points. The clear and attractive style of the author renders the 

 whole easy of comprehension, while his long experience gives to his teachings an authority every- 

 where acknowledged. Few physicians, indeed, have had wider opportunities for observation and 

 experience, and few, perhaps, have used them to better purpose. As the result of a long life de- 

 voted to study and practice, the present edition, revised and brought up to the date of publication, 

 will doubtless maintain the reputation already acquired as a condensed and convenient American 

 text-book on the Practice of Medicine. A few notices of the first edition are appended. 



This book is eminently what it professes to be ; a 

 distinguished merit in these days. Designed for 

 " Teachers and Students of Medicine," and admira- 

 bly suited to their wants, we think it will be recei ved , 

 on its own merits, with a hearty welcome. Boston 

 Med. and Surg. Journal. 



Indited by one of the most accomplished writers 

 of our country, as well as by one who has long held 

 a high position among teachers and practitioners of 

 medicine, this work is entitled to patronage and 

 careful study. The learned author has endeavored 

 to condense in this volume most of the practical 

 matter contained in his former productions, so as to 

 adapt it to the use of those who have not -time to 

 devote to more extensive works. Southern Med. and 

 Surg. Journal. 



Prof. Dickson's work supplies, to a great extent, 

 a desideratum long felt in American medicine. N. 

 O. Med. and Surg. Journal. 



Not professing to be a complete and comprehensive 

 treatise, it will not be found full in detail, nor filled 

 with discussions of theories and opinions, but em- 

 bracing all that is essential in theory and practice, 

 it is admirably adapted to the wants of the American 

 student. Avoiding all that is uncertain, it presents 

 more clearly to the mind of the reader that which is 

 established and verified by experience. The varied 

 and extensive reading of the author is conspicuously 

 apparent, and all the recent improvements and dis- 

 coveries in therapeutics and pathology are chroni- 

 cled in its pages. Charleston Med. Journal. 



In the first part of the work the subject of gene- 

 ral pathology is presented in outline, giving a btau- 

 tiful picture of its distinguishing features, and 

 throughout the succeeding chapters we find that he 

 has kept scrupulously within the bounds of sound 

 reasoning and legitimate deduction. Dr. Diekson 

 merits a place in the first rank of American writers.

DRUITT (ROBERT), M.R. C.S., &c. 

 THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MODERN SURGERY. Edited 



by F. W. SARGENT, M. D., author of " Minor Surgery," &c. Illustrated with one hundred and 

 ninety-three wood-engravings. In one very handsomely printed octavo volume, leather, of 576 

 large pages. $3 00. 



Dr.Druitt's researches into the literature of his 

 Bubject have been not only extensive, but well di- 

 rected ; the most discordant authors are fairly and 

 impartially quoted, and, while due credit is given 

 to each, their respective merits are weighed with 

 an unprejudiced hand. The grain of wheat is pre- 

 served, and the chaff is unmercifully stripped off. 

 The arrangement is simple and philosophical, and 



the style, though clear and interesting, is so precise, 

 that the book contains more information condensed 

 into a few words than any other surgical work with 

 which we are acquainted. London Medical Times 

 *nd Gazette. 



No work, in our opinion, equals it in presenting 

 so much valuable surgical matter in so small a 

 compass. St. Louis Med. and Surgical Journal.
