BILLROTH.

General Surgical Pathology and Therapeutics, in Fifty Lectures. A Text-book for Students and Physicians.

By Dr. THEODOR BILLROTH,

Professor of Surgery in Vienna.

Translated from the Fourth German Edition, with the special permission of the Author, by

CHARLES E. HACKLEY, A. M., M. D.,

Surgeon to the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary; Physician to the New York Hospital; Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, etc.

1 vol., 8vo. 676 pp., and 152 Woodcuts. Cloth, $5.00.

Professor Theodor Billroth, one of the most noted authorities on Surgical Pathology, gives in this volume a complete résumé of the existing state of knowledge in this branch of medical science. The fact of this publication going through four editions in Germany, and having been translated into French, Italian, Russian, and Hungarian, should be some guarantee for its standing.

"The want of a book in the English language, presenting in a concise form the views of the German pathologists, has long been felt; and we venture to say no book could more perfectly supply that want than the present volume. We would strongly recommend it to all who take any interest in the progress of thought and observation in surgical pathology and surgery."-The Lancet.

"A great addition to our literature."-N. Y. Medical Journal.

"We can assure our readers that they will consider neither money wasted in its purchase, nor time in its perusal."-The Medical Investigator.

COMBE.

The Management of Infancy, Physiologi

cal and Moral. Intended chiefly for the Use of Parents.

By ANDREW COMBE, M. D.

REVISED AND EDITED

By SIR JAMES CLARK, K. C. B., M. D., F. R. S.,
Physician-in-ordinary to the Queen.

First American from the Tenth London Edition. 1 vol., 12mo. 302 pp.
Cloth, $1.50.

"In the following pages I have addressed myself chiefly to parents and to the younger members of the medical profession; but it is not to them alone that the subject ought to prove attractive. The study of infancy, considered even as an element in the history and philosophy of man, abounds in interest, and is fertile in truths of the highest practical value and importance.”—Extract from Author's Preface.

"This excellent little book should be in the hand of every mother of a family; and if some of our lady friends would master its contents, and either bring up their children by the light of its teachings, or communicate the truths it contains to the poor by whom they are surrounded, we are convinced that they would ef fect infinitely more good than by the distribution of any number of tracts whatWe consider this work to be one of the few popular medical treatises that any practitioner may recommend to his patients; and, though, if its precepts are followed, he will probably lose a few guineas, he will not begrudge them if he sees his friends' children grow up healthy, active, strong, and both mentally and physically capable."-The Lancet.

DAVIS.

Conservative Surgery, as exhibited in remedying some of the Mechanical Causes that operate injuri ously both in Health and Disease. With Illustrations. By HENRY G. DAVIS, M. D.,

Member of the American Medical Association, etc., etc.

1 vol., 8vo. 315 pp. Cloth, $3.00.

The Author has enjoyed rare facilities for the study and treatment of certain classes of disease, and the records here presented to the profession are the gradual accumulation of over thirty years' investigation.

"Dr. Davis, bringing, as he does to his specialty, a great aptitude for the solution of mechanical problems, takes a high rank as an orthopedic surgeon, and his very practical contribution to the literature of the subject is both valuable and opportune. We deem it worthy of a place in every physician's library. The style is unpretending, but trenchant, graphic, and, best of all, quite intelligible."-Medical Record.

FLINT.

The Physiology of Man.

resent the Existing State of Physiological Science as applied to the Functions of the Human Body.

By AUSTIN FLINT, JR., M. D.,

Professor of Physiology and Microscopy in the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, and in the Long Island College Hospital; Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine; Microscopist to Bellevue Hospital.

In Five Volumes. 8vo. Tinted Paper.

SPECIMEN OF ILLUSTRATIONS.

Ducts and Acini of the Mammary Organs.

"If the remaining portions of this work are compiled with the same care and accuracy, the whole may vie with any of those that have of late years been produced in our own or in foreign languages.”—British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review.

"As a book of general information it will be found useful to the practitioner, and, as a book of reference, invaluable in the hands of the anatomist and physiologist.”—Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science.

"The complete work will prove a valuable addition to our systematic treatises on human physiology."-The Lancet.

"To those who desire to get in one volume a concise and clear, and at the same time sufficiently full résumé of 'the existing state of physiological science,' we can heartily recommend Dr. Flint's work. Moreover, as a work of typographical art it deserves a prominent place upon our library-shelves. Messrs. Appleton & Co. deserve the thanks of the profession for the very handsome style in which they issue medical works. They give us hope of a time when it will be very generally believed by publishers that physicians' eyes are worth saving."-Medical Gazette.

"The second instalment of this work fulfils all the expectations raised by the perusal of the first. The author's explanations and deductions bear evidence of much careful reflection and study. The entire work is one of rare interest. The author's style is as clear and concise as his method is studious, careful, and elaborate."-Philadelphia Inquirer.

"We regard the two treatises already issued as the very best on human physiology which the English or any other language affords, and we recommend them with thorough confidence to students, practitioners, and laymen, as models of literary and scientific ability.”—N. Y. Medical Journal.

"We have found the style easy, lucid, and at the same time terse. The practical and positive results of physiological investigation are succinctly stated, without, it would seem, extended discussion of disputed points."-Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.

"It is a volume which will be welcome to the advanced student, and as a work of reference."-The Lancet.

"The leading subjects treated of are presented in distinct parts, each of which is designed to be an exhaustive essay on that to which it refers."- -Western Journal of Medicine.

"Dr. Flint's reputation is sufficient to give a character to the book among the profession, where it will chiefly circulate, and many of the facts given have been verified by the author in his laboratory and in public demonstrations."— Chicago Courier.

"The author bestows judicious care and labor. Facts are selected with discrimination, theories critically examined, and conclusions enunciated with commendable clearness and precision."-American Journal of the Medical Sciences.

"The work is calculated to attract other than professional readers, and is written with sufficient clearness and freedom from technical pedantry to be perfectly intelligible to any well-informed man."-London Saturday Review.

"From the extent of the author's investigations into the best theory and practice of the present day, the world over, and the candor and good judgment which he brings to bear upon the discussion of each subject, we are justified in regarding his treatises as standard and authoritative, so far as in this disputed subject authority is admissible.-New York Times.

Volume IV.-The Nervous System.

This volume is now ready. It is a work of great interest, and, in conjunction with the "Treatise on Diseases of the Nervous System," by Dr. Wm. A. Hammond, constitutes a complete work on "The Physiology and Pathology of the Nervous System."

"We do not know of any work in English so complete and handy as the Manual now offered to the profession by Dr. Flint, and the high scientific reputation of the author is a sufficient guarantee of the accuracy of all the directions given."―Journal of Applied Chemistry.

We can unhesitatingly recommend this Manual."-Psychological Journal. "Eminently practical."-Detroit Review of Medicine.
