LECTURES ON THE PRINCIPLES OF SURGERY.

 I vol., 8vo, 588 pages. Cloth, $4.00 ; sheep, $5.00. 



" The name of the author is enough. The book 

 will sell. The lectures are good." Denver Medi- 

 cal Times. 



"If we are to judge of the interesting style by 

 the mere reading of these lectures, how greatly they 

 must have been appreciated by those who heard 

 them by the teacher ! There is nothing dry or prosy 

 in them. The illustrations of principles are drawn 

 from the clinical material of the teacher, and are 

 always fresh and a propos. Past and present theo- 

 ries are compared in such a way as to give the stu- 

 dent an interest in the work of older pathologists, 

 and to point out progress made, without wearying 



him with a dry narration at a time when he is not 

 able to comprehend the underlying philosophy. 



" Dr. Van Buren's popularity as a teacher can 

 be easily understood from a study of this volume. 

 His manner is vivacious, his matter select, and his 

 fullness of knowledge easily discernible. He writes 

 like one in authority, full of enthusiasm, and pos- 

 sessed of the skill of imparting to students just that 

 sort of knowledge best suited to their future intel- 

 lectual growth. 



"The work is handsomely printed, with full- 

 faced, clear type and leaded lines, and is in every 

 way a credit to the publishers." North Carolina 

 Medical Journal. 



OSTEOTOMY AND OSTEOCLASIS, for the Correction of 



Deformities of the Lower Limbs. By CHARLES T. POORE, M. D., Surgeon 

 to St. Mary's Free Hospital for Children, New York. 



I vol., 8vo, 202 pages, with 50 Illustrations. Cloth, $2.50. 



"This handsome and carefully-prepared mono- 

 graph treats of osteotomy as applied to the repair 

 of genu valgum, genu varum, anchylosis of the 

 knee-joint, deformities of the hip-joint, and for 

 curves of the tibia. The author has enjoyed large 

 opportunities to study these special malformations 

 in the hospitals to which he is attached, and de- 

 scribes the operations from an ample observation. 

 Quite a number of well-engraved illustrations add 

 to the value of the volume, and an exhaustive bib- 

 liography appended enables the reader to pursue 

 any topic in which he may be interested into the 

 productions of other writers." Medical and Sur- 

 gical Reporter. 



" Dr. Poore, who has already become so well 

 known by journal articles on bone surgery, has con- 



densed his experience in the work before us. He 

 has succeeded in doing this in a very satisfactory 

 way. We can not too strongly commend the clear 

 and succinct manner in which the author weighs 

 the indications for treatment in particular cases. 

 In so doing he shows a knowledge of his subject 

 which is as extensive as it is profound, and no one 

 at all interested in orthopedy can read his conclu- 

 sions without profit. His own cases, which are 

 carefully reported, are valuable additions to the lit- 

 erature of the subject. These, together with oth- 

 ers, which are only summarized, contain so much 

 practical information and sound surgery that they 

 give a special value to the work, altogether inde- 

 pendent of its other excellences. It is a good book 

 in every way, and we congratulate the author ac- 

 cordingly." Medical Record.
