“. , The writing of a surgery that shall be 
new in its matter is simply impossible. But the 
author has evidently grasped and digested the 
facts of surgery as known to-day, and, after find- 
ing those which best suited his practical work, 
resented them to his professional fellow- workers. 
thers would write a different work from the same 
data, because no two minds run in the same direc- 
tion. But in this sense this work is original. In 
this sense it will be found interesting and instruct- 
ive to all students and professional men. The 
chapter on the Litigation of Arteries is worth the 
price of the entire work. The illustrations are 
superb, showing in color the parts to be met with 
in the reaching of arteries in every portion of" the 
body. Quite as important and as beautifully illus- 
trated is the chapter on amputations. He who, 
pe proper anatomical knowledge, could not 
y the directions here given perform these ampu- 
tations, should be convinced that he had missed 
his calling.” —American Lancet. 
*¢ As a specimen of typographical 
and book-makers’ work it is unex- 
ceptionable. It is one of the hand- 
somest works ever published, is 
rofusely and beautifully illustrated, 
aving 771 engravings, of which 
about fifty are eolored, and is printed 
in large type.on heavy paper. Nor, 
when we have praised the mechani-- 
cal work of the book, have we given 
all of its merits. It 1s undoubtedly 
a useful and convenient manual of 
surgery. The author has kept him- 
self” thoroughly posted in the present 
literature of his profession, and has 
incorporated in his book nearly all 
of the latest achievements and no- 
tions in surgery. We believe the 
book to be the production of a good 
and conscientious surgeon, and can 
safely recommend it to the profes- 
sion.”’—Medical Herald. 
“The perusal of this book by 
any one interested in surgery can 
not fail to afford both pleasure and 
instruction. . . . The illustrations 
constitute a special feature, for they 
are used Hnsparingly throughout the 
entire work, and are of a very 
superior order of merit. . . . The 
book is well written, fully up with 
the present status of surgery, is a credit alike to 
author and publishers, and would be very cheap 
at double the price charged for it. It affords us 
pleasure to look over a book which we can thus 
praise without stint, knowing that we can say 
nothing in excess of its merits.””—Southern Clinic. 
“. . . Its readers will have nothing derived 
from its study to unlearn. Its teachings are the 
accepted ones of to-day, while within its nearly 
800 pages we have found but very few superfluous 
sentences. . . . In conclusion, we may say that the 
book is characterized thoughout by good, practical 
common-sense, wide research, and execllent judg- 
ment as to what should be left out of, as well as 
what should enter into, a work of this scope.”’— 
Canada Lancet. 
“Dr. Wyeth has prepared a very excellent trea- 
tise on poser) mechanical, and operative surgery, 
... Thework . . . is distinctly what it claims to 
be, ‘A Text-Book on General, Operative, and 
Mechanical Surgery,’ carefully prepared and fully 
up to all the modern improvements in surgery.” 
—New York Medical Times. 
«. .. The eminent surgeon, Dr. Wyeth, has 
here presented a most valuable production. 
Though styled a text-book, it is admirably adapted 
as a work of reference for the surgeon and _practi- 
tioner, giving, as it does, the recent and advanced 
views upon all surgical procedures. . . . In short 
the entire book evinces the work of a master-mind 
and a superior operator in surgery.”’—Southern 
Medical Record. 
‘A surgeon who has in his library such works 
as Agnew’s, Gross’s, Hamilton’s, Ashurst’s, Sys- 
tem, etc., may think that he needs no new one, 
but we venture the opinion that if he sees this 
work he will buy it. The first thing that will 
attract him is the elegant colored illustrations— 
the new cuts and the perfect press-work.. Then 
the terseness and vigor of the style in which it is 
written will delight him, and a more complete ex- 
amination will convince him that the book is so 
full of meat that he can not do without it.”—buf- 
falo Medical and Surgical Journal.
