$TTODGE {HUGH L.), M.D., -*-^ Emeritus Professor of Obstetrics, &c., in the University of Pennsylvania. OX DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEX; including Displacements of the Uterus. With original illustrations. Second edition, revised and enlarged. In one beautifully printed oetavo volume of 531 pages, extra cloth. $4 50. {Just Issued.) In the preparation of this edition the author has spared no pains to improve it with the results of his observation and study during the interval which has elapsed since the first appearance of the work. Considerable additions have thus been made to it, which h'ave been partially accom- modated by an enlargement in the size of the page, to avoid increasing unduly the bulk of the volume. From Prop. \V. H. Btford, of the Rush Medical College, Chicago. The book bears tbe impress of a master hand, and must, as its predecessor, prove acceptable to the pro- fession. In diseases of women Dr. Hodge has estab- li-lied a school of treatment that has become world- wide in fame. Professor Hodge's work Is truly an original one from beginniiig to end, consequently no one can pe- ruse its pages without learning something new. The book, wiiicU is by no means a large one, is divided into two grand sections, so to speak : first, that treating of the nervous sympathies of the uterus, and, secondly, that which speaks of the mechanical treatment of dis- placements of that organ. He is disposed, as a non- believer in the frequency of inflammations of the uterus, to take strong ground against many of the highest authorities in this branch of medicine, and the arguments which he offers in support of his posi- tion are, to say the least, well put. Numerous wood- cuts adorn this portion of the work, and add incalcu- lably to the proper appreciation of the variously shaped instruments referred to by our author. As a contribution to the study of women's diseases, it is of great value, and is abundantly able to stand on its own merits.—N. Y. Medical Record, Sept. 15, 1S68. In this point of view, the treatise of Professor Hodge will be indispensable to every student in its department. The large, fair type and general perfec- tion of workmanship will render it doubly welcome. —Pacific Med. and Surg. Journal, Oct. 1868. 'm'EST [CHARLES], M.D. LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN. Third American, from the Third London edition. In one neat octavo volume of about 550 pages, extra cloth, %'i 75; leather, $4 75. {Just Issued.) The reputation which this volume has acquired as a standard book of reference in its depart- ment, renders it only necessary to say that the present edition has received a careful revision at^ the hands of the author, resulting in a considerable increase of size. A few notices of previous editions are subjoined. The manner of the author is excellent, Ms descrip- tions graphic and perspicuous, and his treatment up to the level of the time—clear, precise, definite, and marked by strong common sense. — Chicago Med. Journal, Dec. 1S61. We cannot too highly recommend this, the second edition of Dr. West's excellent lectures on the dis- eases of females. We know of no other book on this subject from which we have derived as much pleasure and instruction. Every page gives evidence of the honest, earnest, and diligent searcher after truth. He is not the mere compiler of other men's ideas, but his lectures are the result often years' patient investiga- tion in one of the widest fields for women's diseases— St. Bartholomew's Hospital. As a teacher. Dr. West Is simple and earnest in his language, clear and com- prehensive in his perceptions, and logical in his de- ductions.—Cincinnati Lancet, Jan. 1S62. We return the author our grateful thanks for the vast amount of instruction he has afforded us. His valuable treatise needs no eulogy on our part. His graphic diction and truthful pictures of disease all speak for themselves.—3fedieo~Chirurg. Review. Most justly esteemed a standard work It bears evidence of having been carefully revised, and is well worthy of the fame it has already obtained. —Biib. Med. Quar. Jour. As a writer. Dr. West stands, in our opinion, se- cond only to Watson, the Macaulay of^Iedicine; he possesses that happy faculty of clothing instruc- tion in easy garments; combining pleasure with profit, he leads his pupils, in spite of the ancient pro- verb, along a royal road to learning. His work is one which will not satisfy the extreme on either side, but it is one that will please the great majority who are seeking truth, and one that will convince the student that he has committed himself to a candid, safe, and valuable guide.—N. A. Med.-Chirurg Review. We must now conclude this hastily written sketch with the confident assurance to our readers that the work will well repay perusal. The conscientions, painstaking, practical physician is apparent on every page.—N. T. Journal of Medicine. We have to say of it, briefly and decidedly, that it is the best work on the subject in any language, and that it stamps Dr. West as the facile prineeps of British obstetric authors.—Edinburgh Med. Journal. We gladly recommend his lectures as in the highest degree instructive to all who are interested in ob- stetric practice.—London. La^ioet. We know of no treatise of the kind, so complete, and yet so compact.—Chicago Med. Journal. B T THE SAME AUTHOR. AN ENQUIRY INTO THE PATHOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE OF ULCERATION OF THE OS UTERI.
