SIGNED FOR THE STUDENT AND GENERAL 
PRACTITIONER, by A. C. Cowperthwaite, M. 
D., Ph. D., LL. D., Professor of Materia Medica and 
Diseases of Women in the Homeopathic Medical Depart- 
ment of the University of lowa; President of the 
American Institute of Homeopathy; Author of “A 
Text-Book of Materia Medica,” etc. Cloth $5.00. Sheep

This work is the outgrowth of a need felt by the au- 
thor, as a teacher of Gynecology, for a reliable and syste- 
matic Text-book upon that subject, which should include 
the Homceopathic treatment of Gynecological diseases. The 
enviable reputation of Prof. Cowperthwaite asan author and 
teacher is sufficient guarantee as to the accuracy and reliabil- 
ity of this work. The author’s well-known talent for concise- 
ness of language is well illustrated in this instance. In 
both pathology and treatment the very latest views and 
methods known to science are included. Under each sub- 
ject are given the synonyms,definition, pathology, etiology, 
symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment, the latter 
not only embracing Homceopathic therapeutics, but also 
giving the latest and most approved methods of local and 
surgical treatment. The book is profusely illustrated. 
Yes, we like the book and heartily recommend it.—A merican Homoeopathist. 
A book so well written by an authority like Prof. Cowperthwaite, should be 
found upon the library table ofevery physician of our school. 
T. GRISWOLD COMSTOCE. 
The volume before us is the result of the author’s eleven years’ experience as 
a teacher in that department of which it treats, and will become popular in the 
medical schools to which it is appropriate, and with practitioners who are in ac- 
ae mh its teachings. The phy-ical part of the work is excellent.—New York 
ed. Times. 
The work is beautifully written and systematically arranged, covering the en- 
tire field of Gynecology, and making up a text-book far superior to anything be- 
fore possessed by our school, and equal, we think, to the standard works of the old 
school.—Medical Era. 
The work as presented seems to us an excellent oue. The treatment is ad- 
mirah!e and rational; the indications for the remedies being clear-cut and concise 
aud localtreatment not discarded. The publishers have done their part in giving 
us a beautitul volume—paper, type and illustrations all being unexceptionable — 
California Homocopath. 
A cursory reading of Dr. Cowperthwaite’s book impresses one instantly with 
the author's commendable terseness in the statement of medical landmarks, and 
that other still more laudable trait of ‘knowing exactly when to stop.” The book 
1s what it professes to be, A Text-Book and more. It issafe to work by in our of- 
fices; the operations described are vividly presented, and the measures and treat- 
ment proposed are in consonance with that in current use. In both pathology and 
treatment, the very latest views and methods known to science are included.—Am.
