D., Professor of Surgery in tlie University of Pennsylvania, &c. &c. Fifth edition, greatly enlarged. In 2 vols. 8vo. With thirty plates, several of which are coloured. The author has endeavoured to make this edition as eoinplete as possible, by adapting it to the present condition of surgery, and to supply the deficiencies of former editions by adding chapters and sections on subjects not hitherto treated of. And, moreover, the arrangement of the u'ork has been altered by transposing parts of the second volume to the first, and by changing entirely the order of the subject in the second volume. This has been done for the purpose of making the surgical course in the university correspond with the anatomical lectures, so that the account of sur- gical diseases may follow immediately the anatomy of the parta.

In one vol. 8vo. DEWEES O^ tHE PHYSICAL AND MEDICAL TREAT- MENT OF CHILDREN. With Corrections and Improvements. The seventh ed. In one Volume, 8 vo. The objects of this work are, 1st, to teach those who have the charge of children, ei- ther as parent or guardian, the most ap- proved methods of securing and improving their physical powers.

And 2d, to render available a long experience to these objects of our af- fection when they become diseased. In at- tempting this, the author has avoided as much as possible, technicality; and has given, if he does not flatter himself too much, to each disease of which he treats, its appropriate and designating characters, with a fidelity that will prevent any two being confounded together, with the best mode of treating them, that either his own experience or tliat of others has suggested.
