Handsome octavo of 863 pages, with 715 illustrations. Cloth, $5.00 net. Published January, 1918 The revision of the work for this edition was so thorough and complete that the book had to be entirely reset. Nothing has been omitted that could make this work a practical, valuable text-book embracing all the modern advances in the field. Among the new subjects included are the use of Dakin's solution and of the sunlight and open-air treatment of puerperal infections, a new chapter on various anesthesias in obstetrics, and another on the repair of injuries of the genital tract due to childbirth. The illustrations form one of the features of the book. They are numerous and most of them are original. British Medical Journal "The illustrations in Dr. Hirst's volume are far more numerous and far better exe cuted, and therefore more instructive, than those commonly found in the works of writers on obstetrics in our own country.'

WITH 880 ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS BY HERMANN BECKER AND MAX BRÖDEL In view of the intimate association of gynecology with abdominal surgery the editors have combined these two important subjects in one work. For this reason the work will be doubly valuable, for not only the gynecologist and general practitioner will find it an exhaustive treatise, but the surgeon also will find here the latest technic of the various abdominal operations. It possesses a number of valuable features not to be found in any other publication covering the same fields. It contains a chapter upon the bacteriology and one upon the pathology of gynecology, dealing fully with the scientific basis of gynecology. In no other work can this information, prepared by specialists, be found as separate chapters. There is a large chapter devoted entirely to medical gynecology, written especially for the physician engaged in general practice. Heretofore the general practitioner was compelled to search through an entire work in order to obtain the information desired. Abdominal surgery proper, as distinct from gynecology, is fully treated, embracing operations upon the stomach, upon the intestines, upon the liver and bile-ducts, upon the pancreas and spleen, upon the kidney, ureter, bladder, and the peritoneum. Special attention has been given to modern technic. The illustrations are the work of Mr. Hermann Becker and Mr. Max Brödel. American Journal of the Medical Sciences "It is needless to say that the work has been thoroughly done: the names of the authors and editors would guarantee this; but much may be said in praise of the method of presentation, and attention may be called to the inclusion of matter not to be found elsewhere."

FOR THE PRACTITIONER Dr. Webster has written this work especially for the general practitioner, discussing the clinical features of the subject in their widest relations to general practice rather than from the standpoint of specialism.

Drawn by expert anatomic artists under Dr. Webster's direct super. vision, they portray the anatomy of the parts and the steps in the operations with rare clearness and exactness.

A MASTER WORK ILLUSTRATED BY AUGUST HORN AND HERMANN BECKER This monumental work, the fruit of over ten years of untiring labors, will remain for many years the last word upon the subject. Written by those men who have brought, step by step, the operative treatment of uterine myoma to such perfection that the mortality is now less than one per cent., it stands out as the record of greatest achievement of recent times. The illustrations have been made with wonderful accuracy in detail by Mr. August Horn and Mr. Hermann Becker, whose superb work is so well known that comment is unnecessary. For painstaking accuracy, for attention to every detail, and as an example of the practical results accruing from the association of the operating amphitheater with the pathologic laboratory, this work will stand as an enduring testimonial. Published May, 1909 Surgery, Gynecology, and Obstetrics "It must be considered as the most comprehensive work of the kind yet published. It will always be a mine of wealth to future students." New York Medical Journal "Within the covers of this monograph every form, size, variety, and complication of uterine fibroids is discussed. It is a splendid example of the rapid progress of American professional thought." Bulletin Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland "Few medical works in recent years have come to our notice so complete in detail, so well illustrated, so practical, and so far reaching in their teaching to general practitioner specialist, and student alike." |
