Cloth, $2.50. "It is a valuable contribution to scientific medicine."-The Lancet (London). "His work upon Neuralgia is one of the most interesting, instructive, and practical, we have seen for a long time. We have given it careful reading and thoughtful study, and, for a treatise of its size, we are free to say that we have never met one that gives more practical information and is fuller of useful suggestions."-Medical Record. BARKER. On Sea-sickness. By FORDYCE BARKER, M. D., Clinical Professor of Midwifery and the Diseases of Women in the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, etc. 1 vol., 16mo. 36 pp. Flexible Cloth, 75 cents. Reprinted from the NEW YORK MEDICAL JOURNAL. By reason of the great demand for the number of that journal containing the paper, it is now presented in book form, with such prescriptions added as the author has found useful in relieving the suffering from sea-sickness. BARNES. Obstetric Operations, including the Treatment of Hæmorrhage. By ROBERT BARNES, M. D., F. R. C. P., LONDON, Obstetric Physician to and Lecturer on Midwifery and the Diseases of Women and Children at St. Thomas's Hospital; Examiner on Midwifery to the Royal College of Physicians and to the Royal College of Surgeons; formerly Obstetric Physician to the London Hospital, and late Physician to the Eastern Division of the Royal Maternity Charity.

To the student and practitioner this work will prove of the greatest value, being, as it is, a most perfect text-book on "Obstetric Operations," by one who has fairly earned the right to assume the position of a teacher. "Such a work as Dr. Barnes's was greatly needed. It is calculated to elevate the practice of the obstetric art in this country, and to be of great service to the practitioner." -Lancet. Bellevue and Charity Hospital Reports. The volume of Bellevue and Charity Hospital Reports for 1870, containing valuable contributions from ISAAC E. TAYLOR, M. D., WILLIAM A. HAMMOND, M. D., T. GAILLARD THOMAS, M. D., FRANK H. HAMILTON, M. D., and others. 1 vol., 8vo. Cloth, $4.00. "These institutions are the most important, as regards accommodations for patients and variety of cases treated, of any on this continent, and are surpassed by but few in the world. The gentlemen connected with them are acknowledged to be among the first in their profession, and the volume is an important addition to the professional literature of this country."-Psychological Journal. BENNET Winter and Spring on the Shores of the Mediterranean; or, the Riviera, Mentone, Italy, Corsica, Sicily, Algeria, Spain, and Biarritz, as Winter Climates. By J. HENRY BENNET, M.

"Exceedingly readable, apart from its special purposes, and well illustrated."—Evening Commercial. "It has a more substantial value for the physician, perhaps, than for any other class or profession. We commend this book to our readers as a volume presenting two capital qualifications-it is at once entertaining and instructive.'-N. Y. Medical Journal. On the Treatment of Pulmonary Con sumption, by Hygiene, Climate, and Medicine, in its Connection with Modern Doctrines. By JAMES HENRY BENNET, M. D., Member of the Royal College of Physicians, London; Doctor of Medicine of the University of Paris, etc., etc. 1 vol., thin 8vo. Cloth, $1.50. An interesting and instructive work, written in the strong, clear, and lucid manner which appears in all the contributions of Dr. Bennet to medical or general literature. "We cordially commend this book to the attention of all, for its practic 1 common. Bense views of the nature and treatment of the scourge of all temperate climates, pulmo nary consumption."-Detroit Review of Medicine. 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, 85.00. 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., First American from the Tenth London Edition. 1 vol., 12mo. 302 pp. "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 whatever.... We 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. of Man. The Physiology of Man. Designed to rep 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. Volume I.-The Blood; Circulation; Respiration. "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. |
