    In the following pages, the author has aimed to give, in as concise a manner as possible, an exposition of the theories and practice of the diseases peculiar to women, which shall represent the accepted views in this modern science. These have been condensed, classified, and arranged so as to make the book a short and systematic treatise; necessarily, therefore, it cannot fill the place of ex- haustive works. The author claims no originality for any of the statements embodied in the volume; it is chiefly a compilation, and embraces a careful resume of the writings of Emmet, Thomas, Munde, Simpson, Barnes, Playfair, Duncan, I Tart and Barbour, Hewitt, Tait, Schroder, Fritsch, and the lectures of Profs.
