    WE^r {CHARLES), 31. D., Physician to ihe Ho-rpital for Sick Childrera, S:c. LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OF IXFAKCY AND CHILD- HOOD. Fourth American from the fifth re.ised and enlarged English edition. In one large and handsome octavo volume of 666 closely-printed pages. Extra cloth, $4 60; leather, $5 60. {Just issued.) This work may now fairly claim the position of a standard authority and medical classic. Five editions in England, four in America, four in Germany, and translations in French, Danish, Dutch, and Russian, show how fully it has met the wants of the profession by the soundness of its views and the clearness with which they are presented. Few practitioners, indeed, have had the opportunities of observation and experience enjoyed by the Author. In his Preface he remarks, The present edition embodies the results of 1200 recorded cases and of nearly 400 post-mortem examinations, collected from between 30,000 and 40,000 children, who, during the past twenty- six years, have come under my care, either in public or in private practice. The universal favor with which the work has been received shows that the author has made good use of these unusual advantages. infancy and childhood.—Culwnihus Review of Med. and Surgery. To occupy in medical literature, in regard to dis- eases of children the enviable position which Dr. Watson's treatise does ou the diseases of adult.s is now very generally assigned to our author, and his book is in the hands of the profession everywliere as aa original work of great value.—Md. and Va. Med. and Su.rff. -/oitrnal. Dr. West's works need no recommendation at this date from any hands. The volume before us, espe- cially, has won for itself a large and well-deserved popularity among the profession, wherever the Eng- lish tongue is spoken. .Many years will elapse before it will be repUxced in public estimation by any similar treatise, and seldom again will the same subject be discussed in a clearer, more vigorous, or pleasing style, with equal simplicity and power.—Oharleston Med. .Jmi/r. and Review. There is no part of the volume, no subject on which it treats which does not exhibit the keen perception, the clear judgment, and the sound reasoning of tli-e author. It will be found a most useful guide to the young practitioner, directing him in his management of children's diseases in the clearest possible manner, and enlightening him on many a dubious pathological point, while the older one will find in it many a sug- gestion and practical hint of great value.—Brit. Am. Med Journal. Of all the English writers on the diseases of chil- 1 dren, there is no one so entirely satisfactoiy to us as Dr. West. For years we have held his opinion as j judicial, and have regarded him as one of the highest ! living authorities in the difficult department of medi- ] cal science 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 1 of the most laborious study and investigation. We commend it to all as a most reliable adviser on many j occasions when many treatises on the same subjects ,will utterly fail to help us. It is supplied with a very copious general index, and a special index to the for- mulfe .scattered throughout the work.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, April 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 one that should be neglected—Dr. West's composition possesses a pecu- liar charm, beauty and clearness of expression, thus aft'ording the reader much pleasure, even independent of that which arises from the acquisition of valuable truths.—Cincinnati Jour, of Medicine, JUarch, IStitJ. 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. Dr. West's book is the best that has ever been written in the English language on the diseases of rjONBIE [D. FRANCIS), M.D. A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF CHILDREN. Fifth edition, revised and augmented. In one large octavo volume of over 750 closely- printed pages, extra cloth. $4 50: Dr. Condie's scholarship, acumen, industry, and practical sen.se are manifested in this, as in all his numerous contributions to science.—Dr. Holmes's Report to the American Medical Association. Taken as a whole, in our judgment. Dr. Condie's treatise is the one from the perusal of which the practitioner in tbis country will rise with the great- est satisfaction —Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 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. The value of works by native authors on the dis- eases which the physician is called upon to combat will be appreciated by all, and the work of Dr. Cou- die has gained for itself the character of a safe guide for students, and a useful work for consultation by those engaged in practice.—N. Y. Med. Times. rjHURCHILL [FLEETWOOD), M.D., M.R.LA., Prof, of Midwifery and Diseases of Women and Children in the Dublin College of Physicians. ON THE DISEASES OF INFANTS AND CHILDREN.
