LYONS (ROBERT DJ, K. C. C, 



Late Patholoffist in-chief to the British Army in the Crimea, <kc. 



A TREATISE ON FEVER; or, selections from a course of Lectures on Fever. 



' Being part of a course of 'J'heory and Pructice of Medicine. la one neat octavo volume, of 362 

 pages, extra cloth; $2 00. (^Now Ready,) 



From the Author^s Preface. 



" I am induced to publish, this "worlc on Fever with a view to bring vi^ilhin the reach of the 

 student and junior practitioner, in a convenient form, the more recent res-ulls of inquirie?^ into the 

 Pathology and Therapeutics of this formidable class of diseases. 



" The works of the great writers on Fever are so numerous, and in the present day are scattered 

 in so many languages, that they are diffii-ult of access, not only to students but also to practitioners. 

 I shall deem myself Ibrtunate if I can in any measure supply the want which is felt in this respect. 



We have great pleasure in recommending Dr. 

 Lyons' work on 'Fever to the attention of the pro- 

 fession. It is a work which cannot fail to enhance 

 the author's previous well-earned reputation, as a 

 diligent, careful, and accu'^ate observer. — British 

 Med. Journalj March 2, 1861. 



Taken as a whole we can recommend it in the 

 highest terms as well worthy the careful perusal 

 and study of every student and practitioner of medi- 



cine. We consider the work a most valuable addi- 

 tion to medical literature, and one destined to wield 

 no little influence over tlie mind of the profession. — 

 Med and Su^e. Reporter, May 4, 1861. 



This is an admirable w^ork upon the most remark- 

 able and most iinportanf: class of diseases to which 

 mankind are liable. — Med. Journ. of N. Carolina, 

 Mdy, 1801. 



MEIGS (CHARLES D.), M. D., 



Professor of Obstetrics, &c. in the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. 



OBSTETRICS: THE SCIENCE AND THE ART. Third edition, revised 



and improved. With one hundred and Iwenty-nine illustrations. In one beautifully printed octavo 

 volume, leather, of seven hundred and fifty-two large pages. $3 75. 



Though the work has rcL-eived only five pages of 

 enlargement, its chapters throughout we;ir the im- 

 press of careful revision. Expunging and rewriting, 

 remodelling its sentences, with occasional new ma- 

 terial, all evince a lively desire that it shall deserve 

 to be regarded as improved in Tnanner as well as 

 Tnatter. In the Tnatter, every stroke of the pen has 

 increased the value of the boolf, both in expungings 

 and additions — Western Lancet, Jan. 1857. 



The. best American work on Midwifery that is 

 accessible to the student and practitioner — N. W. 

 Med. and Surg. Journal, Jan. 1857. 



This is a stiindard work by a great American Ob- 

 stetrician. It IS the third and last edition, and, in 

 the language of the preface, the author has "brought 

 the subject up to the latest dates of real improve- 

 ment in our art and Science." — Nashville Journ. of 

 Med. and Surg.j May, 1857.

WOMAN : HER DISEASES AND THEIR REMEDIES. A Series of Leo- 



tures to his Class. Fourth and Improved edition.. In one large and beautifully printed octavt 

 volume, leather, of over 700 pages. $3 60. 



In other respects, in our estimation, too much can- 

 not be said in praise of this work. It abounds with 

 beautiful passages, and for conciseness, for origin- 

 ality, and for all that is commendable in a work on 

 the diseases of f'-males, it is not excelled, and pro- 

 bably nut equalled in the English language. On the 

 whole, we know of no worK on the diseases of wo- 

 men which we can so cordially commend to the 

 student bnd prKCtitjoneras the one before us. — Ohio 

 Med. and Surg. Journal. 



The body of the book is worthy of attentive con- 

 sideration, and is evidently the production of a 

 clever, thoughtful, and sagacious physician. Dr. 

 Meigs's letters on the disea-ses of the external or- 

 gans, contain many interesting and rare cases, and 

 many instructive observations. We take our leave 

 of Dr. Meigs, with a high opinion of his talents and 

 originality. — The British and Foreign Medico-Chi- 

 rurgical Review, 



Every chapter is replete with practical instruc- 

 tion, and bears the ii.ipress of being the composition 

 of an acute and experienced mmd . There is a terse- 

 ness, and at the same time an accuracy in his de- 

 scription ol symptoms, and in the rules fur diagnosis, 



which cannot fail to recommend the volame to th« 

 attention of the reader. — Ranking''s Abstract. 



It contains a vast amount of practical know^ledge, 

 Oy one who has accurately observed and retained 

 the experience of many years. — Bubiin Quarterly 

 Journal. 



Full of important matter, conveyed in a ready and 

 agreeaole manner.— Si. Lowis Med. and Surg. Jour. 



There is an ofT-hatid fervor, a glow, and a warm- 

 aeartedness infecting the effjrt of Dr. Meigs, w^hich 

 Is entirely captivatms;, and which absolutely hur- 

 ries the reader through from beginning to end. Be- 

 sides, the book teems with solid instruction, and 

 it shows the very highest evidence of ability, viz., 

 the clearness with which the informatidn is pre- 

 sented. We knnw of no better test of one's under- 

 standing a subject than the evidence of the power 

 af lucidly explaining it. The most elementary, as 

 well as the obscurest subjects, under the pencil of 

 Prof. Meigs, are isolated nnd made to stand out in 

 such bold relief, as to produce distinct impressions 

 upon the mind and memory of the reader. — Tht
