WATSON (THOMAS), M.D., &o., 



Late Physician to the iVIiddlesex Hospital, &.c. 



LECTURES ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF PHYSIO. 



Delivered at King's College, London. A new American, from the la^t revi-ed and enlarged 



Enghsii edition, with Additions, by D. Francis Condie, M. D., author of "A Practical Treatise 



on the Di^eases of Children," &c. With one hundred and eighty.five iilusiraiions on wood. Id 



one very large and handsome volume, imperial octavo, of over 1200 clo>ely printed pages in 



small type; the whole strongly bound in leather, with rait-ed bands. Price M 2S. 



That the high reputation of this work might be fully maintained, the author has subjected it to a 



thorough revision ; every portion has been examined with the aid oi' the rao>t recent researches 



in pathology, and the results of modern investigations in both theoretical and practical bubjecls 



have been carefully vi^eighed and embodied throughout its pages. The vralchtui scrutiny of the 



editor has likewise introduced whatever possesses immediate importance to the American physician 



in relation to di-^eases incident to our climate which are little known in England, a^ well a^ those 



points in which experience here has ted to different modes of practice; and he ha« al.-o added largely 



to the series of illustrations, believing ihai in this manner valuable as.«istance may be conveyed to 



the student in eluoidaling the text. The work will, therefore, be found thoroughly on a level wilb 



the most advanced slate of medical science on both sides of the AtlanUc. 



The addilioiib which the work has received are shown by the tact that notwithstanding an en- 

 largement in the size of the page, more than two hundred additional pages have been necessary 

 to accommodate the two large volumes of the London edition (which sells at ten dollars), withia 

 the compass of a single volume, and in its present form it contains the matter ol at least three 

 ordinary octavos. Believing it to be a work which should lie on the table of every physician, and 

 be in the hands of every student, the publishers have put it at a price wilhin the reuuh of all, making 

 It one of the cheapest books as yet presented to the American profession, while ai the same lime 

 the beauty ot its mechanical execution renders it an exceedingly attractive volume. 



The foarth edition no*v appearR, so carefully re- 

 viseil, as to add considembly to the value of a hfiok 

 already acknowledged, wherever the English lan- 

 guage is read, to be beyond alt connpHrisnn the best 

 sjBtemutic work on the Principles and Practice of 

 Physic in the whule range of medical literature. 

 Every lecture contains proof of the extreme anxiety 

 of the uullior to keep pace with 'he advancing know- 

 ledge of the day, and to bring the results of the 

 labors, not only of physicians, but of chemists and 

 histoli'gists, before nis readers, wherever they can 

 be turned to useful account. One scarcely Knows 

 whether to admire raosL the pare, simple, forcible 

 English— the vast amount of useful practical lu- 

 foimation condensed into the Lectures— or the man- 

 ly, bind-hearted, unassuming character of the lec- 

 turersliining through his woTk.—Lond. Med. Times. 

 Thus these admirable volumes come before the 

 profesftion in their fourth edition, abounding in those 

 distinguished attributes of moderation, judgment, 

 erudite cultivation, clearness, and eloquence, with' 

 which tliey were from the first invested, but yet 

 richer than before in the results of more prolonged 

 observation, and in the able appreciation of the 

 latest ailvMnces in pathology and medicine by one 

 of the most profound medical thinkers of the day. — 

 London Lancet. 



Tlie lecturer's skill, his wisdom, his leRrniDg,ar0 

 equalled by the ease of his graretui diction, hia elo- 

 quence, and the fur higher qualities or candor, o( 

 courtesy, of modesty, and of generous Hppreciation 

 of raeritm others. — N- A- Med -Chir Review. 



Watson's unrivalled, perhaps unapproachablie 

 work on Practice — the copious additions made to 

 which (the fourth edition) have given it all the no- 

 velty and murh of the interest of a new book. — 

 Charleston Med. Journal. 



Lecturers, practitioners, and students of medicine 

 will equally hail the reappearance of the work of 

 Dr. Watson in the form of a new — a fourth — edition. 

 We merely do justice to our own feelings, and, we 

 are sure, of the whole profession, if we thank him 

 for having, in the trouble and turmoil of a large 

 practice, made leisure it) supply the hiatus caused 

 by the exhaustion of the publisher's stock of the 

 third ediiion, which has been severely felt for the 

 last three years. For Dr. Watson has not merely 

 caused the lectures to be reprinted, but scattered 

 through the whole work wt-find additions or altera- 

 tions which prove that the author has in every way 

 sought to bring up his teaching to the level of .he 

 most recent acquisitions in suieuee. — Brit, and For.

 causes and mode of production of tke more important affections, so far as they possess direct prao 

 iical significance, are succinctly inquired into; an effort has been made to bring tne description ol 

 anatomical ehar;ifitrs to the level of the wantu of the practical phy>ician ; and the diagnosis and
