A TEXT-BOOK ON SURGERY : GENERAL, OPERATIVE, 

 AND MECHANICAL. By JOHN A. WYETH, M. D., Professor of General 

 and Genito-Urinary Surgery in the New York Polyclinic ; Visiting Sur- 

 geon to Mount Sinai Hospital, etc. 



Sold by Subscription. 



" The above work we have read, 

 and will judge it from its title, viz., 

 'A Text-Book on Surgery,' or, in 

 other words, a book to teach from ; 

 but may we not also look at it from 

 the opposite side, and consider it a 

 book to learn from ? In answer to 

 the first of these definitions we do 

 not hesitate to say that Professor 

 Wyeth has given us a most excel- 

 lent book, one in which will be found 

 all the advances of modern surgery 

 and all that is good of older sur- 

 gery. . . . The more important 

 quest ; on to answer is in regard to 

 the value of the book as a means of 

 obtaining surgical knowledge, and, 

 indeed, it is jn this sense that the 

 title of the work must be mainly 

 considered. Again do we answer in 

 the affirmative, and believe of the 

 many text-books which are in use 

 by the medical colleges, none are 

 better, few are equal, and many are 

 inferior ; therefore we hope to see 

 this work of Professor Wyeth's 

 recommended to those beginning 

 the study of surgery, since we think 

 a good foundation to build up a 

 knowledge of the science and art of 

 surgery may be found in it. Pro- 

 fessor Wyeth is certainly to be con- 

 gratulated for the manner in which 

 his publishers have done their part. 

 The illustrations, the paper, the 

 typography, and in fact the entire 

 work may be regarded as a beautiful 

 specimen of the art of book-mak- 

 ing." Therapeutic Gazette. 



"... In order to produce such 

 a work, and make it satisfactory to 

 those who desire a guide thoroughly 

 up to the times in this department 

 of medicine, it has evidently been 

 the author's aim to discard all that has become ob- 

 solete and that is not essential, and to present the 

 whole science and art of surgery as it is taught 

 and practiced at the present day by the ablest

authorities at home and abroad, in a very compact 

 and yet thoroughly intelligible form. That he has 

 succeeded in this design the pages of this beautiful 

 volume seem clearly to indicate. The work
