    A THOMAS {T. GAILLARD),M.D., Professor of Obstetrics, &c in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, N. Y., &c. PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THP] DISEASES OF WOMEN. Se- cond edition, revised and improved In one large and handsome octavo volume of 650 pages, with 225 illustrations, extra cloth, $5; leather, $6. (Now Ready.) From the Preface to the Second Edition. In a science so rapidly progressive as that of medicine, the profession has a right to expect that, when its approbation of a work is manifested by a call for a new edition, the author should re- spond by giving to his book whatever of additional value may be derivable from more extended experience, maturer thought, and the opportunity for correction. Fully sensible of this, the author of the present volume has sought by a careful revision of the whole, and by the addition of a chapter on Chlorosis, to render his work more worthy of the favor with which it has been received.—New York, March, 1869. If the excellence of a work is to be judged by its rapid sale, this one must take precedence of all others upon the same, or kindred subjects, as evidenced in the short time from its first appearance, in which a new edition is called for, resulting, as we are informed, from the exhaustiouof the previous largeedition. We deem it scarcely necessery to recommend this work to physicians as it is now widely known, and most of them already possess it, or will cei'tainly do so. To students we unhesitatingly recommend it as the best text-book on diseases of females extant.—St Louis Med. Reporter, June, 1S69. Of all the army of books that have appeared of late years, on the diseases of the uterus and its appendages, we know of none that is so clear, comprehensive, and practical as this of Dr. Thomas', or one that we should more emphatically recommend to the young practi- tioner, as his guide.—California Med. Gazette, June, 1S69. If not the best work extant on the subject of which it treats, it is certainly second to none other. So short a time has elapsed since the medical press teemed with commendatory notices of the first edition, that it would be superfluous to give an extended re- view of what is no w firmly established as the American textbook of Gynecology.—N. Y. Med. Gazette, July 17, 1869. This is a new and revised edition of a work which we recently noticed at some length, and earnestly commended to the favorable attention of our readers. The fact that, in the short space of one year, this second edition makes its appearance, shows that the general judgment of the profession has largely con- firmed the opinion we gave at that time.— Cincinnati Lancet, Aug. 1869. It is so short a time since we gave a full review of the first edition of this book, that we deem it only necessary now to call attention to the second appear- ance of the work. Its success has been remarkable, and we can only congratulate the author on the brilliant reception his book has received.—N. Y. Med. Journal, April, 1S69. We regard this treatise as the one best adapted to serve as a text-book on gynecology.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal, May 10, 1869. The whole work as it now stands is an absolute indispensable to auy physician aspiring to treat tlie diseases of females with success, and according to the most fully accepted views of their etiology and pa- thology.—Leavenworth Medical Herald, May, 1869. We have seldom read a medical book in which we found so much to praise, and so little—we can hardly say to object to—to mention with qualified commen- dation. We had proposed a somewhat extended review with copious extracts, but we hardly knuw where we should have space for it. We therefore content ourselves with expressing the belief that every practitioner of medicine would do well to po.-*- sess himself of the work.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, April 29, 1869. The number of works published on diseases of women is large, not a few of which are very valuable. But of those which are the most valuable we do not regard the work of Dr. Thomas as second to any. Without being prolix, it treats of the disorders to which it is devoted fully, perspicuously, and satisfac- torily. It will be found a treasury of knowledge to every physician who turns to its pages. We would like to make a uumber of quotations from the work of a practical beariug, but our space will not permit. The work should Uud a place in the libraries of all physicians.—Cincinnati Med. Repertory, May, 1869. No one will be surprised to learn that the valuable, readable, and thoroughly practical book of Professor Thomas has so soon advanced to a second edition. Although very little time has necessarily been allowed our author for revision and improvement of the work, he has performed it exceedingly well. Aside from the numerous corrections which he has found neces- sary to make, he has added an admirahle chapter on chlorosis, which of itself is worth the cost of the volume.—N. Y. Med. Record, May 15, 1869. QHURCHILL {FLEETWOOD), M. D., M. R. I. A. ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN; including those of Pregnancy and Childbed. A new American edition, revised by the Author.
