    own conclusions upon all practical points, and the reasons upon which they are founded, that they may be adopted or rejected upon rational grounds. The time for oracular utter- ances in our art has passed; and every magisterial assertion should be challenged. He has also drawn from his own experience whenever it afforded a better illustration of a special point than he could obtain from another source. The first part of the work includes the normal anatomy of the ovary, and the pathological anatomy, the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of ovarian tumors, excepting by ovariotomy. The second part is devoted to ovariotomy alone—including its history, statistics, practical details, and after-treatment. It aims to decide all practical questions by the aggregate experience of all ovariotomists up to the pres- ent time. The author here records his grateful acknowledgments to all the gentlemen experienced in ovariotomy, both at home and abroad, who have so courteously and kindly responded to his inquiries while preparing the present work.
