    1 A rfROMAS {T. GAILLARD),M.D., Professor of Obstetrics, &c in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, N. Y., &c. PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN. In one large and handsome octavo volume of over 600 pages, with 219 illustrations, extra cloth, $5; leather, $6. {Now Ready.) From- the. Preface. This work was undertaken with the conviction that a treatise, such as that which the Author has aimed to prepare, was needed as a text-book for the American student, and as a book of reference for the busy practitioner. No department of medicine has made greater advances within the last few years than Gyne- cology ; yet the record of its progress is, for the most part, to be found only in special monographs,, journals, transactions of societies, &c, and is thus inaccessible to the mass of the profession in this country. It has, therefore, seemed to the author that a volume which should, within a limited space, present the latest aspect of the subject in a systematic form, could scarcely fail to prove useful, while his position for the last thirteen years as a teacher in this department has encouraged him, in the hope that his familiarity with the needs of the student may, to some extent, have fitted him to undertake the task. The best text-book for students, and a perfect vade mecum to the gynecologist.—N. Y. Journal of Obstet- rics, May, 1S6S. We have recently been almost flooded by works from American sources on the allied subjects of ob- stetrics and gynecology. Nor has quantity alone been the most noticeable feature connected with them, for their quality has invariably been of the highest. Dr. Thomas's work is no exception to this rule ; it is pre- eminently sound and practical, evincing much re- search and great clinical experience. It is further illustrated by upwards of two hundred engravings, some of them of great value.—London Med. Times and Gaz., April 25, 186S. The book of Prof. Thomas is well calculated to do away with this latter objection, and to accomplish more towards the establishment of a. rational system of uterine therapeutics than any other work of its size in any language. We have rarely read any trea- tise upon a medical topic that has given us better satisfaction, or impressed us with the fitness of an au- thor for the proper performance of a most responsible task. It is perhaps unnecessary for us to commend the work most heartily to every one who is or may be liable to treat uterine diseases.—N. York Medical Re- cord, April 15, 1868. A work which will certainly add to the reputation of its author, and come into general use in this coun- try as a text-book. The style is exceedingly clear and concise, and the views expressed eminently prac- tical and scientific—Quarterly Journ. of Psychol. Medicine, April, 1868. The work is concise and practical, avoiding the dis- cussion of unsettled questions, but giving a judicious resume of known facts.—Chicago Med. Journal, April, 1868. We are led to believe that it is the best work that has yet appeared on the diseases of women. There is about it a precision and accuracy, a fulness and completeness, a clearness and simplicity, to be found in no other book on the same subject within our knowledge; its views on uterine pathology are, to our mind, more consonant with reason and common sense than any other we have seen. Enjoying fine opportunities in an extensive field of observation, Dr. Thomas, as an author, has fully sustained his high reputation as a teacher. We have no hesitation in strongly recommending it to the profession as the best exposition yet published of the subjects of which it treats.—Atlanta Med. and Surg. Journal, April, '68. In no work with which we are acquainted, is there to he found so full and complete an exhibit of the im- proved means of diagnosis of the obscure subjects of gynecology, or of their more enlightened therapy. Did our space permit, we should be glad to go into an extended review of the work before us, giving not merely an outline of the subjects treated of, but full extracts from the text itself. As it is, we can only recommend our readers to buy it, feeling convinced they will be amply repaid for the outlay.—Leaven- worth Medical Herald, May, 1868. Indeed, we do not know a better study in briefer space, not for medical students merely, but for prac- titioners, who may really wish to have light upon an obscure pathway, to be trained in the thorough in- vestigation of diseases peculiar to women, than is herein to be found.— Western Journal of Medicine, May, 1868. It is a masterly risume' of what is known, by an experienced and honest observer. The Profession is indebted to Prof. Thomas for thus tabulating the much that has been accepted as valuable and reliable in gynecology, but this is not by any means all the merit of the work ; we have his ample experience, given in his opinions on pathology and treatment, which carry conviction by the confidence we feel that they are the candid opinions of an honest and compe- tent observer.—Humboldt Med. Archives, April, 1868. a RURCHILL {FLEETWOOD), M. D., M. R. I. A. ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN; including those of Pregnancy and Childbed. A new American edition, revised by the Author.
