Diseases of Children in the University of Penna. In one very handsome 12mo. volume of 498 pp., with 403 engravings, many being photographic. Cloth, $3.00. This new work must take a first rank as soon as examined. Bandaging is well de- scribed by words, and the methods are illus- trated by photographic drawings, so to make plain each step taken in the application of bandages of various kinds to different parts of the body and extremities— including the head. The various operations are likewise described and illustrated, so that it would seem easy for the tyro to do the gravest amputation. The various established opera- tions are described in detail. Hence this work becomes a most valuable companion- book to any of the more pretentious treatises on surgery, where simply the general advice is given to bandage, amputate intubate, operate, etc. For the student and young surgeon, it is a very valuable instruction book from which to learn how to do what may be advised, in general terms, to be done. — Virginia Medical Monthly % October, 1891. Holmes' Treatise on Surgery. A Treatise on Surgery ; Its Principles and Practice. By Timothy Holmes, M. A., Surgeon and Lecturer on Surgery at St. George's Hospital, London.

Complete work, cloth, §9.00; leather, §11.00. We have no hesitation in declaring it the best work on the subject in the English language, and indeed in many respects the best in any language. "We feel called upon to recommend the book so strongly for the excellent judgment displayed in the arduous task of selecting from among the thousands of varying procedures those most •worthy of description; for the way in which the still more difficult task of choosing among the best of those has-been accomplished ; and for the simple, clear, straightforward manner in which the information thus gathered from all surgical literature has been con- veyed to the reader. — Annals of Surgery.

Second and thoroughly revised edition. In one very handsome octavo volume of 892 pages, with 1005 illustrations. Cloth, $4.00; leather, $5.00. It can be truly said that as a handbook for the student, a companion for the sur- geon, and even as a book of reference for the physician not especially engaged in the Eractice of surgery, this volume will long old a most conspicuous place, and seldom will its readers, no matter how unusual the subject, consult its pages in vain Its com- pact form, excellent print, numerous illustra- tions, and especially its decidedly practical character, all combine to commend it. — Bos- ton Medical and Surgical Journal, May 10, '88. Hamilton on Fractures and Dislocations. A Practical Treatise on Fractures and Dislocations. By Frank H. Hamilton, M. D., LL. D., Surgeon to Bellevue Hospital, New York.

In one very handsome octavo volume of 832 pages, with 507 illustrations. Cloth, $5.50; leather, §6.50. It is pre-eminently the authority on frac- tures and dislocations, and universally quoted as such. Tbe additions it has re- ceived by its recent revision make it a work thoroughly in accordance with modern prac- tice, theoretically, mechanically, aseptically. The more one reads the more one is im- pressed with its completeness. The work has been accomplished, and has been done clearly, concisely, excellently well. — Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, May 26, 1892. Stimson's Operative Surgery.

Complete work, cloth, $5.50; leather, $7.50. Either volume separately, cloth, $3.00 ; leather, $4.00. The appearance of the second volume marks the completion of the author's origi- nal plan of preparing a work which should present in the fullest manner all that is known on the cognate subjects of Fractures and Dislocations. The volume on Fractures assumed at once the position of authority on the subject, and its companion on Disloca- tions will no doubt be similarly received.— Cincinnati Medical News, May, 1888. Norris & Oliver on the Eye— In Press. A Text-Book of Ophthalmology. By William F. Norris, M. D., Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology in University of Penna., and Charles A. Oliver, M.D. In one octavo volume of about 800 pages, richly illustrated with engravings and colored plates. In press. IN PREPARING this volume the authors have had in view the needs of students, physicians and specialists. Its concise and clear style, its completeness and the beautiful series of illustrations will at once render it a favorite work with all classes for whom it is intended.

In one 12mo. volume of 500 pages, with 164 illustrations, selections from Snellen's test-types and formulae, and a colored plate. Cloth, $2.00 It was primarily intended for tbe use of students, and supplies tbeir needs admir- ably, but it is as useful for the practitioner. It does not presuppose the large amount of recondite knowledge to be present which seems to be assumed in some of our larger works, is not tedious from over-conciseness, and yet covers the more important parts of clinical ophthalmology. — New York Medical Journal, December 13, 1890.

Burnett, A.M., M.D., Professor of Otology in the Philadel- phia Polyclinic ; President of the American Otological Society. Second edition. In one handsome octavo volume of 580 pages, with 107 illustra- tions. Cloth, $4.00 ; leather, $5.00. Dr. Burnett has fully maintained his rep- utation, for the book is replete with valuable information and suggestions. The revision has been carefully carried out, and much new matter added. Dr. Burnett's work must be regarded as a very valuable contri- bution to aural surgery, not only on account of its comprehensiveness, but because it con- tains the results of the careful personal observation and experience of this eminent aural surgeon.— London Lancet, Feb. 21, 1885. Urinary, Venereal, Skin. Roberts on Urinary Diseases— Fourtli Edition. A Practical Treatise on Urinary and Renal Diseases, including Urinary Deposits. By Sir William Roberts, M.

In one 12mo. volume of 450 pages with 50 illustrations. Cloth, $2.75. This volume is devoted to the art of dermatology, to the practice of this department of medicine in its latest development. No attempt has been made to discuss debatable questions, and pathology and etiology do not receive as full consideration as symptomatology, diagnosis and treatment. The alphabetical arrangement of the different diseases has been adopted as conducive to the greatest possible convenience in use. The pages are illustrated with a large number of engravings, many being photographic and vivid reproductions of actual cases. A handsome lithographic frontis- piece adds to the beauty and usefulness of a volume for which a wide recog- nition is assured. Culver & Hayden on Venereal Diseases. A Manual of Venereal Diseases.

The pre- scriptions and formulae are given in both His treatise is like his clinical instruction, admirably arranged, attractive in diction and strikingly practical throughout. No clearer description of the lesions of the ekin is to be met -with anywhere. Dr. Hyde has shown himself a comprehensive reader of the latest literature, and has incorporated common and metric systems.

Probably no treatise ever written by an American author on a medical topic has been accepted by more practitioners, as a standard text-book, or read with pleasure and profit by more medical students than Thomas on the diseases of women. This volume in classic excellence, elegance of dic- tion and scholarly and scientific statement must remain what it long has been, a stand- ard text-book both for practitioner and stu- dent, at home and abroad, and an enduring pride to American gynecologists. — T7ie Brooklyn Medical Journal, March, 1892.

Just ready. Comparatively few practitioners are pre- pared to perform the graver gynecological operations, but all are compelled to deal with the multitudinous ailments of women, and in many instances non-surgical measures are preferable, though neglected by those whose special skill has enlarged the field of opera- tive interference. The present volume deals with nothing which has not stood the actual test of experience, and being concisely and clearly written it conveys a great amount ©f information in a convenient space. The demand for two editions in less than three years confirms its usefulness. — The Medical Brief, August, 1892. May on Diseases of Women— Second Edition. A Manual of the Diseases of Women.

This is a manual of gynecology in a very condensed form, and the fact that a second edition has been called for indicates that it has met with a favorable reception. It is intended, the author tells us, to aid the stu- dent who after having carefully perused lar- ger works desires to review the subject, and he adds that it may be useful to the prac- titioner who wishes to refresh his memory rapidly but has not the time to consult lar- ger works.— The Physician and Surgeon, June, 1890.

In one handsome 8vo. volume of 701 pages, with 239 engravings and a colored plate. Cloth, $4.25 ; leather, $5.25. The second edition- of this work is fully up to the present state of advancement of the ohstetri c art. Rare! y in th e range o f ob- stetric literature can be found a work which is so comprehensive and yet compact and practical. In such respect it ia essentially a text-book of the first merit. The treatment of the subject gives a real value to the work — the individualities of a practical teacher, a skilful obstetrician, a close thinker and a ripe scholar.— Medical Record, Jan. 17, 1891. Playfair's Midwifery— Seventh Edition. A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Mid- wifery. By W. S. Playfaie, M. D., F. R. C.

In thirteen years it has reached seven editions. It is perhaps the most popular work of its kind ever presented to the pro- fession. Beginning with the anatomy and physiology of the organs concerned, nothing is left un written that the practical accoucheur should know. It seems that every conceiv- able physiological or pathological condition of obstetric practice, and also of all the coincident troubles connected therewith. — Southern Practitioner. December, 1889. King's Obstetrics— New Edition. Just Ready. A Manual of Obstetrics. By A. F. A. King, M. D., Pro- fessor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women in the Medical Department of the Columbian University, Washington, D. C., and in the University of Vermont, etc. New (Fifth) edition. In one 12mo. volume of 450 pages, with 150 illustrations. Cloth, $2.50. So comprehensive a treatL. could not be brought within the limits of a book of this size, were not two things especially true. First, Dr. King is a teacher of many years' experience, and knows just how to present his subjects in a manner for them to be best received; and, secondly, he can put his ideas in a clear and concise form. In other words, he knows how to use the English language. He gives us the plain truth, free from un- necessary ornamentation. Therefore we say there are nine hundred pages of matter be» tween the covers of this manual of four hundred and fifty pages. We cannot imag- ine a better manual for the hard-worked student ; while its clean and practical teach- ings make it invaluable to the busy practi- tioner. The illustrations add much to the subject matter.— The National Medical Review >, October, 1892. Dis. of Children, fled. Juris., Periodicals. Smith on Children— Seventh Edition.

New (seventh) edition, thoroughly revised and rewritten. In one handsome octavo vol- ume of 881 pages, with 51 illustrations. Cloth, $4.50; leather, $5.50. We have always considered Dr. Smith's book as one of the very best on the subject. It has always been practical— a field book, theoretical where theory has been deduced from practical experience. One seldom fails to find here a practical suggestion after search in other works has been in vain. In the seventh edition we note a variety of changes in accordance with the progress of the times. It still stands foremost as the American text- book. The literary style could not be ex- celled, its advice is always conservative and thorough, and the evidence of research has long since placed its author in the front rank of medical teachers.— The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Dec. 1891.
