ON DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN, including Displacements of the 



Ulerus. With original illustralions. In one beaulifuUy printed octavo volume, of nearly 500 

 pages, extra clolh. $3 25. {Now Ready.) 



We will say at once that the work fulfils its object 

 capitally wellj and we will moreover venture the 

 nsserhi'n ttiat it wi'l infiuguratp an inmroved prac- 

 tice throughout this whole country. The secrets of 

 the author's suocpss ure so clearly revealed that the 

 attentive student Cftnnoi fail to insure agnodly por- 

 tion nt similar suecesa in his own practice. It is u 

 credit to all medical literature; and we add, that 

 the physician who does not place it in his library, 

 and who does not ffiithfully con its pages, will lose 

 a vast deal of knowledg-e that w^ould be most useful 

 to himself nnd beneficial to his patients. It is a 

 practiral work ofihe h-ighest order of merit; and it 

 w^ill rake rankas such immediately. — Maryland and 

 Virginia Medical Journal^ Feb. 1&61. 



This contribution towards the elucidation of the 

 pathology and treatment of some of the diseases 

 peculiar to w^omen, cannot fail to meet witli a favor 

 able reception from the medical profession. The 

 character of the parcifular maladies of which the 

 work before us treats; their frequency, variety, and 

 obscuiity ; the amount, of malaise and even of actual 

 suffering by which they are invariably attended; 

 their obstinacy, the difficulty with which they are 

 overcome, and il eir disposition again and again to 

 lecur — these, taken in connection with the entire 

 competency of the author to render a correct ac- 

 count of their naturCj their causes, and their appro- 



priate management — his ample experience, his ma- 

 tured judgment, and his perfect conscientiousness — 

 invest this publication with an interest and value to 

 which f^w of the medical treatises of a recent date 

 cnn lay a sironger, if, perchance, fin equal claim.— 

 Am. Journ. M'd ScienceSyJun. 1861. 



Indeed, although no pnrt of the volume isnoterni- 

 nenrly deserving of perusal and study, we think that 

 the nine chapters devoted to this sni'jtJt't, are espe- 

 ciallv so, and we know of no more valuable mono- 

 graph upon the symptom-j, prognosis, and manage- 

 ment of these annoying maladies than is conttituted 

 by this part of the work. We cannot but regard it 

 as one of the most original and ra tst practical worns 

 of the day ; one which every accoucheur and physi- 

 ciai should most carefully re id; for we are per- 

 suaded that he will arise from its perusal with new 

 idens, which will induct him in'oa more rational 

 practice in regard lo many a suffering fern lie, who 

 may have placed lier healtl' in his hands. —British 

 American Journal, Feb. 1661. 



Of the many excellences of the work we will not 

 speak fit length. We advise ail who would acquire 

 a krowiedgeof the proper management of the mala- 

 dies of which it treats, to study it with care. The 

 second part is of itself a most valuable contribution 

 to the practice of our art. — A^n. Med. Monthly and 

 New York Review, Feb. 1861. 



The illustrations, which are all orig^inal, are drawn to a uniform scale of one-half the natural size.

AND SURGERY. With one hundred and ten illu.'strations. Second American from the second 

 and revised London edition, with additions by Edward Hartshorne, M. D., Surgeon to Wills'

JONES (C. HANDFIELD), F. R. S., & EDWARD H. SIEVEKING, M.D., 



Assistant Physicians and Lecturers in St. Mary's Hospital, London. 



A MANUAL OF PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY. First American Edition, 



Revised. With three hundred and ninety-seven handsome wood engravings. In one large and 

 beautiful octavo volume of nearly 750 pages, leather. S3 75. 



Asa concise text-book, containing, in a condensed 

 form, a complete outline of what is known in the 

 domain of Pathological Anatomy, it is perhaps the 

 best work in the English language. Its great merit 

 consists in its completeness and orevity, and in this 

 respect it supplies a great desideratum in our lite- 

 rature. Heretofore the student of pathology was 



obliged to glean from a great number of monographs, 

 and the field was so extensive that but few cultivated 

 it with any degree of success. As a simple work 

 of reference, therefore, it is of great value to the 

 student of pathological anatomy, and should be in 

 every physician's library. — Western Lancet. 



KIRKES (WILLIAM SENHOUSE), M. D., 



Demonstrator of Morbid Anatomy at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, Ac. 



A MANUAL OF PHYSIOLOaY. A new American, from the third and 



improved London edition. With two hundred illustrations. In one large and handsome royal 

 12mo. volume, leather, pp. 586. $2 00. {Lately Published.) 



This is a new and very much improved edition of 

 Dr. Kirkea' well-kndwn Handbook of Physiology. 

 It combines conciseness with completeness, and is, 

 therefore, admirably adapted for consultation by the 

 busy practitioner. — Dublin Quarterly Journal. 



One of the very best handbooks of Physiology wt 

 p*>sses8 — presenting just such an outline of the sci- 

 ence as the student requires during his attendance 

 upon a course of lectures, oi for reference whilst 

 preparing for examination.— ^m. Medical Journal. 



Its excellence is in its compactness, its clearness, 



and its carefully cited authorities. It is the most 

 convenient of text-books. These gentlemen, Messrs. 

 Kirkesand Paget, have the gift of telling us what 

 we ^vant to know, without thinking it necessary 

 to tell us all they know. — Boston Med and Surg. 

 Journal. 



For the student beginning this study, and the 

 practitioner who has but leisure to refresh hjs 

 memory, this book is invaluable, as it contains alj 

 that it is important to know. — Charleston Med. 

 Journal.
