ATTHILL (LOMBE), M. D.,

Fellow and Examiner in Midwifery, King and Queen's College of Physicians, Dublin. CLINICAL LECTURES ON DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN. Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged, with Six Lithographic Plates and other Illustrations on Wood. Price $2.25

[ocr errors]

The value and popularity of this book is proved by the rapid sale of the first edition, which was exhausted in less than a year from the time of its publication. It appears to possess three great merits: First, It treats of the diseases very common to females. Second, It treats of them in a thoroughly clinical and practical manner. Third, It is concise, orig inal, and illustrated by numerous cases from the author's own experience. His style is clear and the volume is the result of the author's large and accurate clinical observation recorded in a remarkable, perspicuous, and terse manner, and is conspicuous for the best qualities of a practical guide to the student and practitioner. - British Medical Journal.

CANCER: ITS VARIETIES, THEIR HISTOLOGY AND DIAGNOSIS. Illustrated by Five Lithographic Plates and Twenty

two Wood Engravings. Price

$2.25

The chief aim of the author has been to aid diagnosis, simplify microscopical work, and classify, as far as is possible, the various morbid growths, that have all, until a comparatively recent date, been generically called cancer.

It is an excellent resume of our present knowledge of the minute anatomy of cancer, and is enriched by original drawings in the author's best manner.

Carefully selecting from the mass of materials at his disposal, the author has aimed to compile a volume sufficiently comprehensive, in which both physician and druggist, prescriber and compounder, may find under the head of each remedy the manner in which that remedy may be most effectively administered, or combined with other medicines in the treatment of disease. The alphabetical arrangement of the book renders this easy. A short description of each medicine is also given, and a list of the doses in which its several preparations may be prescribed.

$10.00

Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, &c. MATERIA MEDICA, FOR THE USE OF STUDENTS.

With Illustrations. Fifth Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Price $4.00 This new and thoroughly revised edition of Professor Biddle's work has incorporated in it all the improvements as adopted by the New United States Pharmacopoeia just issued. It is designed to present the leading facts and principles usually comprised under this head as set forth by the standard authorities, and to fill a vacuum which seems to exist in the want of an elementary work on the subject. The larger works usually recommended as text-books in our Medical schools are too voluminous for convenient use. This will be found to contain, in a condensed form, all that is most valuable, and will supply students with a reliable guide to the course of lectures on Materia Medica as delivered at the various Medical schools in the United States.
