    VMITll (J. LE WIS), M. I)., *3 Professor of Morbid Anatomy in the Belhvue Hospital Med College, N Y. A COMPLETE PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF CHILDREN. In one handsome octavo volume of 620 pages, extra cloth, $4 75; leather, $5 75. (Now Ready.) experience which he has been enabled to ac [Uire in We have no work upon the Diseases of Infancy and Childhood which can compare with it.—Buffalo Med. and Surg. Journal, March, 1869. The description of the pathology, symptoms, and treatment of the different diseases is excellent.—.4//i Med. Journal, April, 1869. So full, satisfactory, and complete is the information to be derived from this work, that at no time have we examined the pages of any book with more pleasure. The diseases incident to childhood are treated with a clearness, precision, and understanding that is nut often met with, aud which must call forth the ap- proval of all who consult its pages.—Cincinnati Med. Repertory, May, 1S69. This work is complete on the subject of which it treats, and enters more fully, with clearness and pre- cision, into the diseases of childhood than most other works which we have seen. Physiciaus or students who wish to obtain a work containing the latest views on the treatment of children will find this one of the best.—Dominion Med. Journal, April, 1869. The author of this volume is well known as a valued contributor to the literature of his specialty. The faithful rnanuer iu which he has worked in the public institutions with which he has been counected, the conscientious regard for truth which has for years characterized all his researches, the great amount of the treatment of Infantile disease*, and the care which he has accustomed himself to take iu the study of the significant facts relating to the pathological anatomy of the diseases of childhood, eminently ti> him for the task which he has taken upon hi ins,-If The remark- able faculty of bringing out salient points and stating concisely other less important facts, enables him to crowd within a small compass a vast amount of prac- tical information. The atteution giveu to the treat- ment of the various maladies, as we] I as the presenta- tion of all the recently accepted pathological views, make it one of the most valuable treatises, within its present compass, that can be placed in the hands of any seeker after truth. The volume as a whole will still further establish for the writer a permanent and enviable reputation as a careful observer, an impar- tial interpreter, a safe and trustworthy adviser, and a modest and untiring student.—N. Y. Med. Record, March 15, 1S69. We have perused Dr. Smith's book with not a littte satisfaction; it is indeed an excellent work; well and correctly written ; thoroughly up to the modern ideas ; concise, yet complete iu its material. We cannot help welcoming a work which will be worthy of reliance as a text-book for medical studeuts and younger phy- sicians in their investigation of disease in children.— Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, March 4, 1869. flONDIE {D. FRANCIS), M. D. A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF CHILDREN. Sixth edition, revised and augmented. In one large octavo volume of nearly 800 closely- printed pages, extra cloth, $5 25 ; leather, $6 25. (Now Beady.) Dr. Condie has been one of those who have per- formed such a service satisfactorily, and, as a result, his popular, comprehensive, and practical work has received that high compliment of approval on the part of his brethren, which several editions incontes- tably set forth. The present edition, which is the sixth, is fully up to the times in the discussion of all those points in the pathology and treatment of infan- tile diseases which have been brought forward by the German and French teachers. As a whole, however, the work is the best American one that we have, and in its special adaptation to American practitioners it certainly has no equal.—New York Med. Record, March 2, 1S68. No other treatise on this subject is better adapted to the American physician. Dr. Condie has long stood before his countrymen as one peculiarly pre-eminent in this department of medicine His work has been so long a standard for practitioners and medical stu- dents that we do no more now than refer to the fact that it has reached its sixth edition. We are glad once more to refresh the impressions of our earlier days by wandering through its pages, and at the same time to be able to recommend it to the youngest mem- bers of the professiou, as well as to those who have the older editions on their shelves.—St. Louis Med. Reporter, Feb. 15,1868. We pronounced the first edition to be the best work on the diseases of children in the English language, and, notwithstanding all that has been published, we still regard it in that light.—Medical Examiner. WEST {CHARLES), 31.D., ' ' Physician to the Hospital/or Sick Children, <fcc. LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OF INFANCY AND CHILD- HOOD. Fourth American from the fifth revised and enlarged English edition. In one large and handsome octavo volume of 656 closely-printed pages. Extra cloth, $4 50 j leather, $5 50. (Just issued.) Of all the Euglish writers on the diseases of chil- dren, there is no one so entirely satisfactory to us as Dr West. For years we have held his opinion as judicial, and have regarded him as one of the highest living authorities in the difficult department of medi- cal scieuce in which he is most widely known. His writings are characterized by a sound, practical com- mon sense, at the same time that they bear the marks Otfthe most laborious study and investigation. We commend it to all as a most reliable adviser on many occasions when many treatises on the same subjects will utterly fail to help us.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, A'pril 26, 1S66. Dr. West's volume is, in our opinion, incomparably the best authority upon the maladies of children that the practitioner can consult. Withal, too—a minor matter, truly, but still not oue that should be neglected—Dr. West's composition possesses a pecu- liar charm, beauty and clearness of expression, thus affording the reader much pleasure, even independent of that which arises from the acquisition of valuable truths.—Cincinnati Jour. of Medicine, March, 1S66. We have long regarded it as the most scientific and practical book on diseases of children which has yet appeared in this country.—Buffalo Medical Journal. OMITH {EUSTACE). M.
