    Byford on the Uterus, second edition. On the Chronic Inflammation and Displacement of the Unimpregnatea Uterus. A New, Enlarged, and Thoroughly Revised Edition, with Numerous Illustrations. Now Keady. One volume. Octavo. $3.00 From Foroyce Barker, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children m Bellevue Hospital lUedical College. Some weeks ago I received a copy of your work on the Uterus. I have delaved acknowledging the favor until I could give the book a careful perusal. I have just fiuished a thorough reading of it. I feel personally indebted to you, not merely for the copy —which, of course, I should have bought —but for writing the book; and I think you have laid the Profession in this country under a load of obligation by giving them such a clear, concise, and practical treatise on a class of affections 'hat even now is very little understood by the greater majority. From K. A, F. Penrose, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics in the University of Pennsylvania. Accept my thanks for the copy of your new work which you so kindly sent me, 1 have, as yet, not had time to give it the careful study it merits; but from the super- ficial inspection I have made, I find much that is most valuable. From S. G. Hubbard, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics in Yale College, New Haven. I was gratified by the receipt of your new work on the Uterus, and I thank you sin- cerely for it. I have spent all my leisure in its examination, and have derived both pleasure and profit from its perusal. It is commendable for its clearness and definite- ness as well as for the great practical common sense which pervades it. I am sure that it will prove a very useful treatise, not only to junior practitioners, but to those also among us who, from not having devoted themselves to the treatment of uterine disease, as a specialty,-have neither time nor opportunity to make original investigations in this department, and are not, therefore, perfectly at home in its practice. From James P. White, Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children in the University of Buffalo. I have had time, as yet, to run over but few of the chapters of your work on the Uterus; I am most happy, however, in being able to say that, so far as I have read, it does credit to American authorship. It is concise and brief, and eminently practical. The work was certainly a desideratum, and will be especially useful to practitioners who can illy afford to purchase all or most of the works referred to in your preface. I shall examine it with much interest, and, no doubt, often consult it with profit. From G. S. Bedford, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children in the University of New York. On my return to the city I found on my table “Byford on the Uterus.” The next day I commenced perusing it, and have read it from cover to cover. I need not say that, in my judgment, the book enhances your deserved reputation. You have, if my opin- ion be worth anything, given the Profession an excellent work, and one that is sensible and practical.^ Go on, my dear Doctor, and give us more of your experience. It is what the Profession most needs — the experience of good and ripe minds. RECENTLY PUBLISHED, THE SECOND EDITION OP Byford’s Practice of Medicine and Surgery. Applied to the Diseases and Accidents Incident to Women. By W. H. Byford, A.M., M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Wo?)ien and Children in the Chicago Medical College, &c., &c. The Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged, with Additional Illustrations. One volume. Octavo. $5.00 The rapid sale of the first edition of this book, which was exhausted in a little more than a year, has enabled the author to carefully revise the whole work, add many im- provements, and to make a large addition of new matter, without, however, materially increasing the size of tlie volume. This work treats well-nigh all the diseases incident to women, diseases and accidents of the vulva and perineum, stone in the bladder, inflammation of the vagina, menstrua- tion and its disorders, the uterus and its ailments, ovarian tumors, diseases of the mam- mae, puerperal convulsions, phlegmasia alba dolens, puerperal fever, &c. Its scope is thus of the most extended character, yet the observations are concise but convey much practical information. — London Lancet.
