“If asked to select a guide for the practitioner 
in his daily work, we would unhesitatingly name 
Dr. Skene’s book. Its strong points are its con- 
servatism and its minute consideration of the non- 
operative measures at our disposal. The author 
never advises a method of' treatment merely be- 
cause it has the sanction of a great name; he care- 
fully tries the proposed remens and decides solely 
according to the results. ‘he illustrations are 
good, many of them excelling those found in any 
other'text-book. The histories of cases appended 
to each subject are an invaluable aid. To master 
these portions of the work alone would give the 
reader a very fair knowledge of the whole sub- 
ject.—Southern California Practitioner. 
‘We commend this volume to all students and 
others whose knowledge of gynecology is either 
confused or rusty. It will be found useful as a 
final reference before examinations. The author 
deserves great credit for the amount of patient 
labor he te expended in making the work so 
comprehensive and clear.”— University Medical 
Magazine. 
“To Professor Skene undoubtedly belongs the 
credit of having written the book of the year; 
nothing that has appeared during the season can 
be compared with it. There has long been a need 
for a text-book that should comprehend all the 
recent advances in gynecology, yet not be so 
‘long-drawn-out’ as to be tedious. Professor 
Skene has given this—writing in an attractive 
style, yet in terms so plain as to be unmistakable ; 
the work bears upon the face of it the fact that it 
is the outgrowth of the experience of the author 
in a long and active professional lifé, devoted 
almost exclusively to the treatment of diseases of

women. It seems to be written, however, not 
from the sendpert of a ‘specialist,’ but from that 
of the general practitioner who secs there is a 
woman beyond the uterus—whose professional eye 
is not confined to what can be seen through a 
speculum. Again, the author has not given way 
to the surgical furor that now agitates the (medi- 
cal) world, but, while giving due attention to the 
surgical procedures, at the same time has kept 
constantly in mind the medical treatment of al 
diseases liable to yield to medication alone. But 
better than all, he has manifested no tendency to 
‘ride a hobby,’ as has been the case with all’ his
