 ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN; including those of Pregnancy and Child- 

 bed. A new American edition, revised by the Author. With Notes and Additions, by D. Feam- 

 cis CoNDiE, M. D., author ot " A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children." With nume- 

 rous illustrations. In one large and handsome octavo volume, leather, of 768 pages. $3 00. 

 This edition of Dr. Churchill's very popular treatise may almost be termed a new work, so 

 thoroughly has he revised it in every portion. It will be found greatly enlarged, and completely 

 brought up to the most recent condition of the subject, while the very handsome series of illastra- 

 tions introduced, representing such pathological conditions as can be accurately portrayed, present 

 a novel feature, and afford valuable assistance to the young practitioner. Such additions as ap- 

 peared desirable for the American student have been made by the editor. Dr. Condie, while a 

 marked improvement in the mechanical execution keeps pace with the advance in all other respects 

 which the volume has undergone, while the price has been kept at the former very moderate rate.

ELEMENTS OF MEDICINE; a Compendious View of Pathology and Thera- 



peutics, or the History and Treatment of Diseases. Second edition, revised. In one large and 

 handsome octavo volume, of 750 pages, leather. $3 70. {Just Issued.) 



The steady demand which has so soon exhausted the first edition of this work, sufficiently shows 

 that the author was hot mistaken in supposing that a volume of this character was needed — an 

 elementary manual of practice, which should present the leading principle> of medicine with the 

 practical results, in a condensed and perspicuous manner. Disencumbered of unnecessary detail 

 and fruitless speculations, il embodies what is most requisite for the student to learn, and at the 

 same time what the active practitioner wants when obliged, m the daily calls of his profession, to 

 refresh his memory on special points. The clear and attractive style of the author renders the 

 whole ea^y of comprehension, while his long experience gives to his teachings an authority every- 

 where acknowledged. Few physicians, indeed, have had wider opportunities for observation and 

 experience, and few, perhaps, have used them to better purpose As the result of a long life de- 

 voted to study and practice, the present edition, revised and brought up to the dale of publication, 

 will doubtless majiilain the reputation already acquired as a condensed and convenient American 

 text-book on the Practice of Medicine. 



DRUITT (ROBERT), M.R. C.S., &c. 

 THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MODERN SURGERY. A new 



and revised American from the eighth enlarged and improved London edition. Illustrated with 



four hundred and thirty-two wood-enffraving:s. In one very handsomely printed octavo volume, 



leather, of nearly 700 large pages. $3 50. {Just Iss2ied.) 



A work which like Druitt's Surgery has for so many years maintained the position of a lead- 

 ing favorite wilh all classes of the profession, needs no special recommendation to attract attention 

 to a revised edition. It is only necessary to stale that the author hus ^pa^ed no paius to keep the 

 work up to its well earned reputation of presenting in a small and convenient compass the latest 

 condition of every department of s-urgery, coni'idered both as a science and as an art; and that the 

 services of a competent American editur have been employed to intruduce whatever novelties may 

 have escaped the author's attention, or may prove of service to the American practitioner. As 

 several editions have appeared in London since the issue of the last American reprint, the volume 

 has had the benefit of repealed revisions by the author, resulting in a very thorough alteration and 

 improvement. The extent of these additions may be estimated from the fact that it now contains 

 about one- third more matter than the previous American edition, and that notwithstanding the 

 adoption of a smaller type, the pages have been increased by about one hundred, while nearly two 

 hundred and fifty wood-cuts have been added to the former list of illu^iraiions. 



A marked i.nprovement will also be perceived in the mechanical aud artistical execution of the 

 work, which, prinied in the best style, on new type, and fine paper, leaves little to be desired as 

 regard?, external finish; while at the very low price affixed it will be found one of the cheapest 

 volumes accessitjle to the profession. 



TbiP popular volume, now^ a must comprehensive 

 work on suigery,has undergone many corrections, 

 improvements, and additione, and tie principles and 

 the practice of the art have been brought down to 

 the latest reeorunnd obeervatiim. Of the operations 

 in surgery iiis impossible totpeak too highly. The 

 descripiiODs ure so clear and ccneiBe, and the illus- 

 tratitms so ajcuraie and numerous, that the student 

 can have no difl.culty, with instrument in hand, and 

 book by his side, over the dead body, in obtaining 

 a proper knowledge and sufficient tact in this much 

 neglected department of medical education. — British 

 and Foreign Medico- Chirurg. Review, Jan. 1S60. 



In the present edition the author has entirely re- 

 wriilen many of the chapters, and has incorporated 

 the various improvemenis and additions in modern 

 surgery. On carefully going over it, we find that 



nothing of real practical importance has been omit- 

 teu ; it presents a faithful epitome of everything re- 

 lating t > surgery up to the present hour. It is de- 

 servedly a popular manual, both with the student 

 and practitioner. — London Lancet, Nov. 19, 1859. 



In closing this brief notice, we recommend as cor- 

 dially aa ever this most useful and comprehensive 

 hand-book. It must prove a vast assihtance, not 

 only to the student of surgery, but also to the busy 



Kractitioner whi may not have the leisure to devote 

 imself to the study of more lengthy volumes.—
