OF CLUB-FOOT. By LEWIS A. SAYRE, M. D., Professor of Orthopedic 

 Surgery and Clinical Surgery in Bellevue Hospital Medical College; Con- 

 sulting Surgeon to Bellevue Hospital, Charity Hospital, etc., etc. 

 Fourth edition, enlarged and corrected. I vol., I2mo. Illustrated. Cloth, $1.25. 



" A more extensive experience in the treatment of club-foot has proved that the doctrines taught 

 in my first edition were correct, viz., that in all cases of congenital club-foot the treatment should 

 commence at birth, as at that time there is generally no difficulty that can not be overcome by the 

 ordinary family physician ; and that, by following the simple rules laid down in this volume, the 

 great majority of cases can be relieved, and many cured, without any operation or surgical inter- 

 ference. If this early treatment has been neglected, and the deformity has been permitted to in- 

 crease by use of the foot in its abnormal position, surgical aid may be requisite to overcome the 

 difficulty ; and I have here endeavored to clearly lay down the rules that should govern the treat- 

 ment of this class of cases." Preface.

COMPENDIUM OF CHILDREN'S DISEASES. A

 lated from the second German edition by LAWSON TAIT, F. R. C. S., Sur- 

 geon to the Birmingham Hospital for Women. 



I vol., 8vo. Cloth, $3.50; sheep, $4.50. 



"Dr. Steiner's book has met with such marked success in Germany that a second edition has 

 already appeared, a circumstance which has delayed the appearance of its English form, in order 

 that I might be able to give his additions and corrections. 



" I have added as an Appendix the ' Rules for Management of Infants,' which have been issued 

 by the staff of the Birmingham Sick Children's Hospital, because I think that they have set an ex- 

 ample, bv freely distributing these rules among the poor, for which they can not be sufficiently 

 commended, and which it would be wise for other sick children's hospitals to follow. 



" I have also added a few notes, chiefly, of course, relating to the surgical ailments of chil- 

 dren." Extract from Translator's Preface.
