general practice. His style is very reatlable and 
lucid, and is well adapted to those who have not 
specially prepared themselves to understand the 
peculiar language of the more advanced neurolo- 
gist. He covers very completely the field of nerv- 
ous affections, and his book will prove a very 
« valuable acquisition to the library of the intelligent 
physician.””—Medical Age. 
“The beauty and usefulness of’ the book are 
much enhanced by the fact that it is not loaded 
down with references to other authors, but pro- 
ceeds in an original manner to sum up all that is 
known to the present day upon the subjects 
treated. Taking the book as a whole, it is one of 
the best we have seen in many a day.’’— Texas 
Courier- Record,

nervous diseases can not do better than to buy it. 
One feature in it which merits especial praise is the 
admirable bibliographies prefixed to each chapter.”

‘This book, in twenty-three chapters, commu- 
nicates a large quantity of useful information in a 
form intelligible to the public. It is well written 
remarkably correct, sufficiently illustrated and 
nedeome printed. The amount of technical 
skill and knowledge required of nurses at the 
present day makes the use of some text-hook in- 
dispensable. To those who need such a work’ we 
can speak approvingly of its design, scope, and 
executlon,”— Pailedelphe Medical Times. sia 
“ This is an admirably written book, and is full 
of those important practical details necessary for 
the medical and surgical nurse. In fact, it could 
be read with profit by every medical student and 
young practitioner.’’—Medical Record. 
WELLS. Diseases of the Ovaries: Their Diagnosis and Treatment. 
By T. Spencer WEtt1s, Fellow and Member of Council of the Royal Col- 
lege of Surgeons of England, etc., ete. 
Cloth, $4.50. 
8vo. 478 pages. Illustrated. 
“Tn 1865 the author issued a volume containing reports of one hundred and fourteen cases of 
ovariotomy, which was little more than a simple record. of' facts. 
The book was soon out of' print, 
and, though repeatedly asked for a new edition, the author was unable to do more than prepare papers 
tor the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society, as series after series of a hundred cases accumulated. 
On the completion of five hundre 
cases, he embodied the results in the present volume, an entirely 
new work, for the student and practitioner, and trusts it may prove acceptable to them and useful to 
suffering women. 
WYETH. A Text-Book on Surgery: Geverat, OPERATIVE, AND 
Mecuanicat. By Joun A. Wyetu, M.D., Professor of General and 
Genito-Urinary Surgery in the New York Polyclinic ; Visiting Surgeon to 
Mount Sinai Hospital, etc. 
$8.00; balf morocco, $8.50. 
“Dr, Wyeth has succeeded in compressing into 
less than eight hundred octavo pages a more or less 
complete description of almost every surgical dis- 
ease and condition, including those of the eye and 
ear. The chapter on the ligature of arteries is un- 
doubtedly the best in the book, the plates being 
Deautifully colored and nearly all original. The 
subjects of genito-urinary disease and orthopsdic 
surgery are likewise fully discussed, and show an 
intimate knowledge thereof on the part of the 
author. The work throughout is copiously illus- 
trated, and may be relied upon as a fair guide to 
both the general practitioner and student.”—

Cloth, $7.00 ; sheep, 
gery, is valuable to the general practitioner in pro- 
portion as it makes details plain and clearly pre- 
sents their underlying principles. Gauging it on 
this basis, we are convinced that Dr. Wyeth’s work 
will speedily take a prominent place in the esteem 
of the profession. ... In particular, we would 
commend the care that has been bestowed on the 
important matters of surgical dressings, bandag- 
ing, and the like. These details lie at the very 
foundation of success in surgical practice, and too 
much attention can scarcely be given to them in a 
text-book. The appeatance of the book is in the 
highest degree creditable to the publishers; the 
print is clear, the paper is excellent, and the illus- 
trations, which are numerous and nearly all origi- 
nal, are among the best of their class that we have 
seen, They include quite a number printed in 
colors.””—WNew York Medical, Journal.
