* 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 sirmply 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. ‘Ihe author expresses his ideas in a clear 
manner, and it is we]l up with the approved meth- 
ods and treatment of the day. It is well Ulustrated, 
and due credit is given to American gynecologists 
for work done. It isa good book, weli printed in 
ood, large type, and well bound.”—Mew England 
Vedseal Monthly. 
‘Tt is seldom that we see a book so completely 
fil! its avowed mission as does the one before us. 
It is practical trom beginning to end, and can not 
fail to be appreciated by the readers for whom it is 
intended. The author’s piyle 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 tamily 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.”’—

“The manual before us is not the work of a 
specialist—using this term in a narrow sense—but 
of an author already favorably known to the stu- 
dents of current medical literature by various and 
comprehensive works upon other branches of his 
profession. Nor is it, on the other hand, the work 
of an amateur or merely ingenious collaborateur, 
for Dr. Macnaughton Jones’s gynecological expe- 
rience in connection with the Cork Hospital for 
Women and the Cork Maternity was such as fairly 
entitles him to speak authoritatively upon the sub- 
jects with which it deals. But, after so many works 
by avowed specialists, we are glad to welcome one 
upon Gynecology by an author whose opportunities 
and energy have enabled him to master the details 
ot so many branches of medicine. We are glad also 
to be able to state that his work compares very fa- 
vorably 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 
practi toner, and an assistance in the study of this 
ranch of his profession to the student.’ ’—Dudlin

KEYES. A Practical Treatise on the Surgical Diseases of the 
Genito-Urinary Organs, including Syphilis. 
With Engravings. 
for Students and Practitioners. 
Designed as a Manual 
By E. L. Kryzs, 
A.M., M. D., Professor of Genito-Urinary Surgery, Syphilology, and Der- 
matology in Bellevue Hospital Medical College. 
Being a revision of a 
Treatise, bearing the same title, by Van Burun and Kryrs. Second edi- 
tion, thoroughly revised, and somewhat enlarged. 
Cloth, $5.00 ; sheep, $6.00. 
“Those who are familiar with the older works 
of Keyes (Van Buren and Keyes) will senreely- 
recognize the present treatise. Since 1874 the ad- 
vances in the department of surgery included under 
the term genito-urinary. have been so considerable 
that the work before us is pene a new book. 
The author appears to have been prompted by feel- 
ings of reverence for his ‘ dear old master’ in call- 
in¢ this a revision of the work alluded to. To 
mention but a few subjects that are essentially new, 
we may allude to litholapaxy, suprapubic :cys- 
totomy (the modified and revised older operation), 
renal surgery, the modern methods of dealing with 
hydrocele, and the radical cure of varicocele. The 
rofession will give glad and speedy welcome to 
r, Keyes's treatise as it now stands. It may well 
challenge favorable comparison with similar works 
by other authors, and if so examined it will not he 
found wanting in all that is essential to a reliable, 
readable, and instructive manual on a highly impor- 
tant branch of the healing art.”"—Medecal Record. 
“ Professor Keyes has done the profession good 
service in this thorough revision of the original 
work which Professor Van Buren and himself pre- 
pared, now many years ago. As the latter states 
in his preface, litholapaxy has had its birth since 
that date, the surgery of the kidney has been con- 
structed anew, and very different views are enter- 
tained as to the patholozy and treatment of many 
of the abnormal! conditions of the genito-urinary 
system. Thoroughly modernized as Dr. Keyes’s 
important work now is, it will long remain a monu- 
ment of the skill, originality, and tact of its talented 
author.’?— College and Clinical Record. 
“Dr. Keyes, from his daily contact with stu- 
dents, knows their needs, and his pointed manner
