BIBLIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF OVARIAN
"Nescire quod antequam natus esses
factum sit, id semper esse puer."-CICERO.
THE value of any scientific work is greatly enhanced by the
addition of a list of the principal works to which the Author
has been indebted. This acquaints his readers with the
school and age, the doctrines of which have influenced the
writer; it enables those who study as well as read to refer to
sources, and test the author's veracity and judgment; while
to subsequent labourers in the same field, such a list of refe-
rences is like a map to travellers in an unknown country; and
the importance of Medical Bibliography has greatly increased,
now that the Press teems every year with medical works,
It will have been observed that the medical press of the
last ten years has furnished me with facts on which to found
a wider view of ovarian pathology, and I am also indebted to
another source of medical bibliography-the theses which
are written and defended by those who take their degree in
Continental universities.
The importance of this branch of literature is somewhat
overlooked by English medical authors. In the great Con-
tinental medical schools the candidate for the doctoral cap
generally takes for the subject of his thesis some of the
striking cases he has met with in hospital practice, or the
latest discovery; and frequently the facts and theories of a
celebrated "Capo di scuola" are only to be found in the
thesis of their favourite pupils. It was so with Stahl, and
has been the case in our time with Recamier.
Thus many
facts are buried in dissertations which, although printed, have
scarcely been brought to light.

dies de l'uterus et de ses annexes,

be read with what Valleix has
written on the same subject.
BATTERSBY, Dr., Report on the patho-
logy, diagnosis, and treatment of
abscesses of the iliac fossa-Dublin
Med. and Surg. Review, vol. xxxi.,

the history of modern researches on
pelvic abscesses is lucidly given.
BARNES, Dr., A case of peritonitis-
Obstetric Transactions, vol. iii.

London, 1834, may be usefully con-
sulted.
BOURDON, Des tumeurs fluctuantes du
petit Bassin-Revue Médicale de
Paris, July, 1841. These three in-
teresting papers resume Recamier's
practice as regards the treatment of
pelvic tumours.
BOURRAUD, De l'ovarite blennorrha-
gique, Paris-Thèse de Doctorat,
No. 60, 1847. Valuable on account
of six cases of idiopathic acute
ovaritis which it contains, four of
which had not been published.

RURGICAL REVIEW, A review of Lo-
enhardt's work, vol. ii., p. 528.

only work lately published ex pro-
fesso on the subject, and is well
worthy of perusal.

Chir., August, 1845.
CHEREST, Des engorgements inflam-
matoires de la fosse iliaque après

good thesis.
CHURCHILL, Dr. Fleetwood, On in-
flammation and abscess of the ute-
rine appendages—Dublin Quarterly
Journal of Medical Science, vol. xxiv.
This paper is equal to the high repu-
tation of its author. Two cases of
non-puerperal pelvic abscess are
given, but we doubt whether they
be cases of ovaritis.
Ovarian irritation-July, 1851,
vol. xii.; New Series.

cavité uterine-Thèse de Strasburg,
2nde Série, No. 461.
GLASGOW MEDICAL JOURNAL, vol. i.,
contains a very instructive review
of the second edition of this work.
HIRTZ, Sur les maladies des ovaires
-Thèse de Strasburg, No. 67, 1841.
I perused this thesis many years
ago with great interest. Hirtz is
now professor of the University of
Strasburg. This university stand-
ing on the frontiers of France and
Germany, its teachers have been
equally well acquainted with the
literature of both countries, which
has enabled them formerly, and
now, to advance medical science.

title: Pathologia Ovariorum, Göt-

it is not to be found in the libraries
of the College of Surgeons, or in
that of the Roy. Med. and Chir.
Society.
LANDOUZY, Traité complet de l'hys-
terie, Paris, 1846. This is the best
monograph on hysteria, and a
model worthy of imitation by those
who wish to investigate thoroughly
any disease.
LATIS, Des inflammations des an-
nexes de l'uterus-Thèse de Doctorat,
Paris, after 1848. I understand
this to be one of the best mono-
graphs written on the subject.
LEBATARD, Des abcès de la fosse ili-
aque-Thèse de Doctorat, Paris,
No. 397, 1837.

intra-pelviens-Thèse de Concours
pour l'agrégation à la Faculté de
Paris, 1844. This thesis princi-
pally refers to the puerperal varie-
ties of pelvic abscesses, and is worth
consulting.

annexes de l'uterus, 1835. This is
much praised by many excellent
authorities.

tion de l'ovarite puerperale-Jour-
nal Hebdomadaire, vol. i., 1834.
This last paper resumes the three
preceding ones, which, however,
most deserve perusal.

physiologiques sur les ovaires hu-
maines. Négrier is a distinguished
professor of the medical school of

reading for many practical views on
the treatment of nervous affections
by baths; and it contains two cases
of catalepsy.
RECAMIER, Recherches sur le traite-
ment du cancer. Two volumes,
Paris, 1829. There is a treatise of

subject.

uterin. The work embodies the
practice of Nélaton.
