the Diseases of
of Women.

THE THIRD EDITION.

Revised, Enlarged, Rearranged, and Mostly Rewritten; with Many New Illustrations.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON THE THIRD EDITION.

The changes and additions which have been made, as well as the general rearrangement of the whole subject matter, render this new edition an essentially new work.Chicago Med. Examiner.

It forms a volume of 740 pages, numerously illustrated, and though called a new edition, it is really a new work. The style is attractive and practical, the mechanical execution of the work creditable, and as a reliable guide in the treatment of diseases peculiar to women it has no superior. - Canada Lancet.

It now forms a complete and systematic treatise, admirable in arrangement, beautiful in appearance, and rich in the wisdom that comes from ample experience, mature thought and active industry. —Leavenworth Herald.

He has really rewritten the former edition, embodying his extensive clinical experience, making this edition a most complete and thorough work on all that pertains to the pathology and treatment of diseases peculiar to women.-Cincinnati Medical News.

For those who desire full instruction and careful illustration in this department nothing can equal the work before us; the philosophy of mechanics, and the modes of application are fully presented. -Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal.

It is unquestionably one of the most valuable guides to a correct diagnosis to be found in the English language. —Richmond and Louisville Journal.

The latest, best, and most authoritative exponent of a well-defined bias that powerfully affects a zealous class of gynecologists . . . We hail Dr. Graily Hewitt's work as the lineal successor to Simpson's. -Brit. Med. Jour.

The style is clear and very readable, and it gives evidence throughout of honest hard work; not that of the office book-worm, but of the careful clinical observer.

Med. and Surg. Jour.

Canada

This new edition is remarkably full, and affords instruction in every department of the science and art of gynecology. The topics embraced in the volume cover the whole ground of sexual disorders, and our friends will find it one of the best works for consultation. Lancet and Observer.

We have derived from this work in hours of doubt and perplexity great comfort and assistance. The present edition is not merely a reprint, but in many and important respects a new work, containing certain generalizations on the important questions of the pathology of diseases of the Uterus, which involve.the adoption of new views concerning the pathology and treatment of others. The arrangement of the former edition devised to facilitate the study of the subject, particularly the Diagnosis, has been very much modified in this edition. Many new and graphic illustrations are added.— Virginia Clinical Record.

In the diagnosis of the various uterine disorders, great attention has been paid. Dr. Hewitt has endeavored to render this easy of accomplishment, for his descriptions and symptoms of disease are as carefully and minutely rendered as to at once become apparent as the work of a diligent and painstaking observer. — Canada Medical Record.

The author treats systematically and generally, and with sufficient fulness, on all subjects within the sphere of gynecology, and many of the more difficult subjects are illustrated with well-executed woodcuts. It undoubtedly occupies the front rank among systematic treatises on the diseases of women. — Michigan University Journal.

"The most thorough and Practical Work on the subject now oefore the Profession."

By J. FORSYTH MEIGS, M. D., Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, &c., &c., and WILLIAM PEPPER, M. D., Physician to the Philadelphia Hospital, &c., &c., forming a Royal Octavo Volume of over 900 pages. Price, bound in Cloth,

The rapid sale of the three

Dr. Meigs' work has been out of print for some years. previous editions, and the great demand for a new edition. is sufficient evidence of its great popularity; while the very large practice of many years' standing of the author in the speciality of "Diseases of Children," imparts to it a value unequalled, probably. by any other work on the same subject now before the Profession. This present edition has been almost entirely rewritten and rearranged, and no effort or labor has been spared by either Drs. Meigs or Pepper, to make it represent fully in its most advanced state the present condition of Medicine as applied to Children's Diseases.

The entire work has been subjected to careful revision. Several of the articles, as those on Eclampsia, Chorea, and Parasitic Skin Diseases, have been much enlarged; and others, as the various articles on the Diseases of the Stomach and Intestines, and that on Eczematous Affections, entirely rewritten. In addition, articles have been added upon the following important subjects:

[blocks in formation]

The new matter thus added amounts to nearly 200 pages. It has been the effort of the authors, while endeavoring to make the work fully represent the state of our knowledge upon the subjects treated of, to retain its eminently practical character; and with this view, an unusually large amount of space has been devoted to the consideration of the treatment of each disease.

"This is the fourth edition of Meigs on Diseases of Children, greatly enlarged and improved by chapters upon a large number of new subjects, and also by a very copious index, which facilitates reference, and makes the work more serviceable to the Practitioner. As now enlarged, it is one of the most complete and comprehensive works of its class, and will meet the wants of the Profession in this department most admirably.' - Buffalo Med. and Surg. Journal.

"It is very comprehensive, and embraces most of the maladies incident to childhood and infancy. We consider it a very safe, reliable, and suggestive guide, being quite large and full in detail, embracing almost everything pertaining to the subject, making it a very useful book both for reference and study." Medical Archives.

"It forms the most complete and comprehensive work upon the diseases of children published in this country. It has for years been one of the standard authorities, and in its present enlarged form will still more command attention. It presents the latest views of pathology and treatment, and takes into consideration many subjects which were entirely omitted in the previous editions."- Detroit Journal of Medicine, &c.

"It is satisfactory to note that the authors have brought up their work to the level of the pathological knowledge of the day, and that their therapeutical notions are equally advanced. The authors are enrolled among the more enlightened therapeutists of our time. One cannot fail to be struck throughout the treatise with the very judicious advice given by the authors on various points of treatment. The work, as a whole, is entitled to rank with the best."— Medical Repertory.

Histology. 208 Illustrations.

An Introduction to the Study of Pathological Anatomy. By Dr. EDWARD RINDFLEISCH, O. O. Professor of Pathological Anatomy in Bonn. Translated from the Second German Edition, by Wм. C. KLOMAN, M. D., assisted by F. T. MILES, M. D., Professor of Anatomy, University of Maryland, &c., &c.

Containing 208 Elaborately Executed Microscopical Illustrations. One volume, octavo. Price, cloth, $6.00; sheep, $7.00.

Prof. Rindfleisch's Text-Book of Pathological Histology, so justly celebrated in Germany, where it is considered the most complete and thorough work of its kind, having passed rapidly to a second edition, is also very highly valued and commended by German Medical scholars in this country, many of whom are not only familiar with the book, but with the author's great reputation as a teacher and professor of this branch of medical study.

The translators are both gentlemen who by their past education have been peculiarly fitted for the task of translating the work. Dr. Kloman from early life has been familiar with the German language, while Prof. Miles has made the subject one of special study, both gentlemen being also practical microscopists. The Publishers therefore offer a translation of this truly valuable work to the Medical Profession in the United States, feeling the utmost confidence that in both manner and style it will prove acceptable to them. In their Preface, the Translators say: "In presenting the English reading portion of the Medical Profession with a translation of the valuable work of Prof. Rindfleisch, the translators scarcely deem an apology necessary. The merits of the book itself, and the fact that it fills an unoccupied gap in our most recent literature upon the subject of Pathological Histology, was judged to be an ample incentive for undertaking the labor of the translation. The work of VIRCHOW translated by CHANCE, is, in many points, antiquated, and the more recent work of BILBROTI, translated by HACKLEY, occupies the ground but partially, and is professedly a work of Surgical Pathology."

This book is translated and published in this country by special arrangement with

the author.
