Cloth, Price, $4.50. In lKdr> the author issued a volume containing reports of one hundred and fourteen eases of Ovariotomy, which was little more than a simple record of facts. The book was soon out of print, and, though repeatedly asked for a new edition, the author was unable to do more than prepare papers for the Royal Medical anil Chirurgic.il Society, as scries after series of a hundred cases accumulated. On the completion of five hundred cases he embodied the results in the present volume, an entirely new work, for the student and practitioner, and trusts it may prove acceptable to them and useful to suffering women. Arrangements have been made for the publication of this volume in Lon- don on the day of its publication ill New York. French and German transla- tions are already in press.
