" Dr. Coming's neat little volume has the merit 

 of being highly suggestive, and, besides, is better 

 adapted to popular reading than any other profes- 

 sional work on the subject that we know of." Pa- 

 cific Medical and Surgical Journal. 



" This is a capital little work on the subject 

 upon which it treats, and the author has presented, 

 from as real a scientific stand-point as possible, a 

 group of symptoms, the importance of which is 

 sufficiently evident. To fully comprehend the ideas 

 as presented by the author, the whole book should 

 be read ; and, as it consists of only 234 pages, the 

 task would not be a severe or tedious one, and the 

 information or knowledge obtained would be much 

 more than equivalent for the time spent and cost 

 of book included. Literary men and women would 

 do well to procure it." Therapeutic Gazette. 



" This book belongs to a class that is more and 

 more demanded by the cultured intelligence of the 

 period in which we live. Dr. Corning may be 

 ranked with Hammond, Beard, Mitchell, and 

 Crothers, of this country, and with Winslow, An- 

 stie, Thompson, and more recent authors of Great 

 Britain, in discussing the problems of mental dis- 

 turbance, in a style that makes it not only profit- 

 able but attractive reading for the student of psy- 

 chology. The author has divided the work into 

 short chapters, under general headings, which are 

 again subdivided into topics, that are paragraphed 

 in a concise and definite form, which at once strikes 

 the careful reader as characteristic of a method that 

 is terse, concise, and readily apprehended. There 

 are twenty-eight of these pithy chapters, which no 

 student of mental diseases can fail to read without 

 loss." American Psychological Journal. 



PRACTICAL MANUAL OF DISEASES OF WOMEN 

 AND UTERINE THERAPEUTICS. For Students and Practitioners. 

 By H. MACNAUGHTON JONES, M. D.,. F. R. C. S. I. and E., Examiner in 

 Obstetrics, Royal University of Ireland ; Fellow of the Academy of Medi- 

 cine in Ireland ; and of the Obstetrical Society of London, etc. 



I vol., I2mo. 410 pages. 188 Illustrations. Cloth, $3.00. 



"As a concise, well-written, useful manual, we 

 consider this one of the best we have ever seen. 

 The author, in the preface, tells us that ' this book 

 is simply intended as a practitioner's and student's 

 manual. I have endeavored to make it as practical 

 in its teachings as possible.' The style is pleasant 

 to peruse. The author expresses his ideas in a clear 

 manner, and it is well up with the approved meth- 

 ods and treatment of the day. It is well illustrated, 

 and due credit is given to American gynaecologists 

 for work done. It is a good book, well printed in 

 good, large type, and well bound." New England 

 Medical Monthly. 



" It is seldom that we see a book so completely 

 fill its avowed mission as does the one before us. 

 It is practical from beginning to end, and can not 

 fail to be appreciated by the readers for whom it is 

 intended. 1 he author's style is terse and perspicu- 

 ous, and he has the enviable faculty of giving the 

 learner a clear insight of his methods and reasons 

 for treatment. Prepared for the practitioner, this 

 little work deals only with his every-day wants in 

 ordinary family practice. Every one is compelled 

 to treat uterine disease who does any general busi- 

 ness whatever, and should become acquainted with 

 the minor operations thereto pertaining. The book 



before us covers this ground completely, and we 

 have nothing to offer in the way of criticism." 

 Medical Record. 



" The manual before us is not the work of a spe- 

 cialist using this term in a narrow sense but of 

 an author already favorably known to the students 

 of current medical literature by various and com- 

 prehensive works upon other branches of his profes- 

 sion. Nor is it, on the other hand, the work of an 

 amateur or merely ingenious collaborateur, for Dr. 

 Macnaughton Jones's gynaecological experience in 

 connection with the Cork Hospital for Women and 

 the Cork Maternity was such as fairly entitles him 

 to speak authoritatively upon the subjects with 

 which it deals. But, after so many works by avowed 

 specialists, we are glad to welcome one upon Gynae- 

 cology by an author whose opportunities and energy 

 have enabled him to master the details of so many 

 branches of medicine. We are glad also to be able 

 to state that his work compares very favorably with 

 others of the same kind, and that it does admirably 

 fulfill the purposes with which it was written ' as 

 a safe guide in practice to the practitioner, and an 

 assistance in the study of this branch of his profes- 

 sion to the student.'" Dublin Journal of Medical 

 Science.
