to illustrate disease, wounds, the author’s 
method of operating for their relief, and his 
armamentarium, many of them would make 
excellent studies for the realistic artist. As 
a specimen of the book-maker’s art the 
volume is exquisitely beautiful.”—American 
Practitioner and News. 
“, . . The book may be termed a treatise 
on operative surgical physiology and pa- 
thology, if there be no contradiction in this 
combination of words. Or, it may be said 
that the book is a series of illustrative ser- 
mons on the text, The surgeon’s act de- 
termines the fate of a fresh wound, and its 
infection and suppuration are due to his 
technical faults of omission and commission.

Association. 
“The title of this magnificent book gives 
no adequate idea of its contents... . The 
methods of operating are those most approved 
by the best surgeons living, and are described 
in a thoroughly lucid manner. . . . It is no 
small addition to the value of the text of Dr. 
Gerster’s book that the illustrations of' it are 
of a very high order of excellence. . . . The 
work of the publishers, in preparing this 
book, is as creditable to them as is that of 
the author to him, . . . and we can and do 
recommend it very strongly to our readers, as 
we feel that it is a book which ought to be in 
the hands of every practicing surgeon.’’— Medical

sional litcrature; and it comes from a souree which

“ We know of no book 
in the English language 
which attempts to cover the 
ground covered by this one 
—indced, the author seems 
to be the first who has 
sought to handle the whole 
subject of mammary tumors 
in one systematic treatise, 
How he has succeeded will 
best. be seen by a study of 
the book itself. In the early 
chapters the classification 
and relative frequency of 
the various tumors, their 
evolution and transtorma- 
tions, and their etiology, 
are dealt with; then each 
class is studied in a separate 
chapter, in which the re- 
sult of the author’s work is 
compared with that’ of 
others, and the general con- 
clusions are drawn which 
give to the book its great 
practical value; finally, a chapter is devoted to di- 
agnosis, one to treatment, and one to the tumors in 
the mammary gland of the male.’—Mew York 
Medical Journal. 
‘‘ Altogether, the work is one of more than 
ordinary interest to the surgeon, gynecologist, and 
physician.””—Detroit Lancet.
