    lYILSON (ERASM US), F. R. S., 0]St DISEASES OF THE SKIX. The sixth American, from the fifth and enlarged English edition. In one large octavo volume of nearly 700 pages, extra cloth. $4 60. Also— ' A SERIES OF PLATES ILLUSTRATING WILSON ON HIS- EASES OF THE SKIN; consisting of twenty beautifully executed plates, of which thir- teen are exquisitely colored, presenting the Normal Anatomy and Pathology of the Skin, and embracing accurate representations of about one hundred varieties of disease, most of them the size of nature. Price, in extra cloth, $5 80. Also, the Text and Plates, bound in one handsome volume, extra cloth. Price $9 50. This classical work has for twenty years occupied the position of the leading authority on cuta- neous disenses in the English language, and the industry of the author keeps it on a level with the advance of science, in the frequent revisions which it receives at his hands. The Lirge size of the volume enables him to enter thoroughly into detail on all the subjects embraced in it, while its very moderate price places it within the reach of every one interested in this department of practice. Sucli a work as the one before us is a most capital and acceptable help. Mr. Wilson has long been held as high authority in this department of medicine, and his book on diseases of the skin has long been re- garded as one of the best text-boolcs extant on the subject. The present edition is carefully prepai-ed, and brought up in its revision to the present time. In this edition we have also included the beautifnl series of plates illustrative of the text, and in the last edi- tion published separately. There are twenty of these plate.-^, nearly all of them colored to nature, and ex- hibiting with great fidelity the various groups of diseases treated of iu the body of the work.—Oin- cinnati Lancet, June, 1SU3. No one treating skin diseases should be without a copy of this standard work. — Canada Lancet. Augus't, 1S63. }Y THE SAME AUTHOR. — We can safely recommend it to the profession as the best work on the subject now in existence in the English language.—Medical Times and Gazette. Mr. Wilson's volume is an excellent digest of tlie actual amount of knowledge of cutaneous diseases ; it includes almost every fact or opinion of importance connected with the anatomy and pathology of the skin.—British and Foreign Medical Review. These plates are very accui'afe, and are executed with an elegance and taste which are highly creditable to the artistic skill of the American artist who executed them.—St. Lnuis Med. Journal. The drawings are very perfect, and the fiui.sh and coloring artistic and correct; the volume is au indis- pensable companion to the book it illustrates and completes.—Charleston Medical Journal.

ATLAS OF CUTANEOUS DISEASES. In one beautiful quarto volume, with exquisitely colored plates, &c., presenting about one hundred varieties of di.sease. Extra cloth, $5 50. of the pathology and treatment of eruptive diseases. It possesses the merit of .giving short and condensed descriptions, avoiding the tedious minuteness of many writers, while at the same time the work, as its title implies, is strictly practical.—Glasgow Med. Journal. A compend which will very much aid the practi- tioner in this difficult branch of diagnosis. Taken with the beautiful plates of the Atlas, which are re- markable for their accuracy and beauty of coloring, it constitutes a very valuable addition to the library of a practical man.—Buffalo Med. Journal. The diagnosis of eruptive disease, however, under all circumstances, is very difficult. Nevertheless, Dr. Jfeligaa has certainly, as far as possible, given a faitliful and accurate representation of this class of disease.s, and there can be no doubt that these plates will be of great use to the student and practitioner in drawing a diagnosis as to the class, order, and species to which the particular case may belong. While looking over the Atlas we have been induced to examine also the Practical Treatise, and we are inclined to consider it a very superior work, com- bining accurate verbal description with sound views TJILLIER {THOMAS), M.D., Physician to the Skin Department of University College Hospital, &o.

The treatment laid down by the author in Himple, rational, and in accordance with the re.nnlts of an extended experience.
