Clifton Edgar, m.d., Ac Prof, of Obstetrics, Medical Depart., University of the City of New York. 192 11 some illustrations,the majority of which are original with this work. 927 pages. Cloth, $6.00) Sheep, “ His practical experience and laborious researches in the literature of the subject have qualified place before the profession a book which is certainly of great value, and we desire to compliment Dr. upon his foresight and admirable work in the preparation of the American translation. One of the things about the work is that bibliographies accompany the articles upon each special subject, while the I trations seem to us to be almost entirely original, which is but natural when we consider the enormous an of material from which the author may obtain figures. The work of the American publisher has beenl carried out, as it is usual under the circumstances, and we venture to say the translation is put before the} fession of this country in much better form than the German publishers placed the original before the cians of the Fatherland.”—Medical News, Philadelphia. “ These'additions make the perusal of the work a labor of pleasure, besides adding greatly to its vj One lays down the book with a heightened admiration for the author’s learning, as well as a deep resped his careful and conservative teaching.”—American Journal of Obstetrics, New York. “ In this hasty manner we have only sought to call attention to the salient points of this admirable which, though intended and especially adapted to the student, nevertheless will well repay a careful perus; all who aspire to practice obstetrics according to the most improved modern methods. We would like t this text-book used in this country, for the reason that it is clear and concise, that it gives special promim to pathology, and that every page bears evidence of that thoroughness and sound conservatism which m its distinguished author unequaled as a teacher of obstetrics.”—Medical Record. Winckel. Diseases of Women. By Parvin. Secor Edition, Enlarged. INCLUDING DISEASES OF THE BLADDER AND URETHRA. By Dr. F. WlNCKEL,ProfeSi of Gynaecology and Director of the Royal University Clinic for Women in Munic Authorized Translation. Edited by Theophilus Parvin, m.d., Professor of Obstj rics and Diseases of Women and Children in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelph Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged. 152 Engravings on Wood. i2mo. No. New Series of Manuals. 766 pages. Cloth, $3.00; Leather, $3. “ The popularity of the work is shown by the rapidity with which the first edition was exhausted. The is, perhaps, no more scholarly or influential authority on gynaecological subjects among our German confrc> than Winckel, and this fact, added to the respect and esteem in which his American editor is universally he may serve to explain the early demand for a second edition in advance of a second German edition. A novel feature is furnished by the chapters on diseases of the mammary gland. They are not generally d cussed in works of this character, but we have always been of the opinion that their consideration was qui as appropriate as that of any other portion of the genital apparatus, of which they form an essential element, — The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Philadelphia. “ It is nearly three years since we had the pleasure of reviewing the English translation of Professd] Winckel’s ‘ Diseases of Women.’ The favorable comments we then made we have now but to endorse i| connection with the second edition of this excellent, lucidly written gynecological work. Dr. Theophih Parvin has most thoroughly revised the former issue, so that the reader meets with only the latest and me matured opinions on the various debatable topics. We should like again to direct the attention of those inter ested in gynecological literature to the subjects on pelvic neoplasms and diseases of the female urethra bladder. The work is profusely illustrated, and we feel confident that those of our readers who accord i|| careful study will derive much pleasure and instruction from its pages.”—The Practitioner, London.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2805877x_0156.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
