In one handsome octave volume of 726 pages. Cloth, $5 ; leather, $6. (Just Issued.) The eminent success which this work has achieved has encouraged the author, in preparing this third edition, to render it even more worthy than heretofore of the favor of the profession. It has been thoroughly revised, and very considerable additions have been made throughout. To accommodate these the volume has been printed in a smaller type, so as to prevent any notable increase in its size, and it is presented in the hope that it may attain the position of the American text book on this important department of medical science. This work took a stand as an authority from its first edition will confirm and add to its reputation.
