To the American public, it is most valuable, from its intrinsic undoubted excellence, and as being 

 the best authorized exponent of British Midwifery. Its circulation will, I trust, be extensive throughout 

 our country. 



The publishers have shown their appreciation of | cine and Surgery to our library, and confidently 

 le merits of this work and secured its success by j recommend it to our readers, with the assurance 



that it will not disappoint th 

 pectations. Western Lancet. 



It is unnecessary to say anything in regard to the 

 utility of this work. It is already appreciated in our 



the 



the truly elegant style in which they have brought that it will not disappoint their most sanguine ex 



it out, excelling themselves in its production, espe- ---'-'' 



cially in its plates. It is dedicated to Prof. Meigs, 

 and has the emphatic endorsement of Prof. Hodge, 

 as the best exponent of British Midwifery. We 

 know of no text-book which deserves in all respects 

 to be more highly recommended to students, and we 

 could wish to see it in the hands of every practitioner, 

 for they will find it invaluable for reference. Med.

But once in a long time some brilliant genius rears 

 his head above the horizon of science, and illumi- 

 nates and purifies every department that he investi- 

 gates ; and his works become types, by which innu- 

 merable imitators model their feeble productions. 

 Such a genius we find in the younger Ramsbotham, 

 and such a type we find in the work now before us. 

 The binding, paper, type, the engravings and wood- 

 cuts are all so excellent as to make this book one of 

 the finest specimens of the art of printing that have 

 given such a world- wide reputation to its enter- 

 prising and liberal publishers. We welcome Rams- 

 botham's Principles and Practice of Obstetric Medi- 



country for the value of the matter, the clearness of 

 its style, and the fulness of its illustrations. To the 

 physician's library it is indispensable, while to the 

 student as a text-book, from which to extract the 

 material for laying the foundation of an education on 

 obstetrical science, it has no superior. Ohio Med. 

 and Surg. Journal. 



We will only add that the student will learn from 

 it all he need to know, and the practitioner will find 

 it, as a book of reference, surpassed by none other.

The character and merits of Dr. Ramsbotham's 

 work are so well known and thoroughly established, 

 that comment is unnecessary and praise superfluous. 

 The illustrations, which are numerous and accurate, 

 are executed in the highest style of art. We cannot 

 too highly recommend the work to our readers. St.

STILLE (ALFRED), M.D. 

 THERAPEUTICS AND MATERIA MEDICA; a Systematic Treatise on tbe 



History, Description, Action, and Uses of Medicinal Agents. In two large and handsome octavo 



volumes, of about 1600 pages. (In press.) 



The object which the author has kept in view in the preparation of this work has been to present 

 to the profesMon a complete and systematic treatise suited to the wants of the practising physician. 

 He has therefore endeavored to avoid encumbering his text wilh details interesting only to the 

 naturalist or the dealer, and has sought to give in the history and description of drugs such informa- 

 tion only as would be required by the intelligent practitioner. The space thus gained he has en- 

 deavored to fill with a complete account of the physiological and therapeutic properties of all the 

 articles of the Mater ia Medica, their uses in all the varieties of dis-ease, their pharmacoposial pre- 

 parations, and the mode in which they may be most successfully employed. The subject of Gene- 

 ral Therapeutics will be found more fully developed than is customary in works of this nature ; 

 but while general principles will be carefully enunciated and developed, mere theoretical specula- 

 tions will be avoided. The labor of many years devoted to the work has enabled the author to 

 accumulate and record the results of the experience of the highest authorises in all countries, and 

 his watchful care in incorporating the latest observations and researches is a guarantee that the 

 whole will be found fully brought up to the day, with all that may be regarded as worthy of confi- 

 dence. 



The work is therefore presented as a practical companion for the active physician who may de- 

 sire to keep himself on a level with the advance of his profession, as well as a text-book for the 

 student entering upon his medical education. The long delay which has occurred in its appearance 

 has been caused by the determination of the author to spare no pains in rendering it complete on 

 every point : it is now, however, proceeding rapidly through the press, and the publishers expect 

 to ha've it in readiness for the fall sessions of the medical schools.

AN ANATOMICAL ATLAS, illustrative of the Structure of the Human Body. 

 In one volume, large imperial octavo, extra cloth, with about six hundred and fifty beautiful 

 figures. $3 00. 



These figures are well selected, and present a 

 complete and accurate representation of that won- 

 derful fabric, the human body. The plan of this 

 Atlas, which renders it so peculiarly convenient 

 for the student, and its superb artistical execution, 

 have been already pointed out. We must congratu- 



late the student upon the completion of this Atlas, 

 as it is the most convenient work of the kind that 

 has yet appeared ; and we must add, the very beau- 

 tiful manner in which it is " got up" is so creditable 

 to the country as to be flattering to our national 

 pride. American Medical Journal.
