    DISORDERS OF MENSTRUATION.—By John C. Peters, M.D. 1853. Bound. 75 cts. This work, which is the first part of a Treatise on Diseases of Females, by I>r. Peters, we have perused with much pleasure, and have derived information from it. It fulfils in a great measure, the object which the author seems to have had in virw. viz.: to ac- quaint us, with all at present known, relative to the functions of menstruation, and the i|iient upon its derangement and irregularity. We may say thai we concur generally with the author in his views, as expressed in this work ; in fact we consider the work before us as one of the best, if not the very best, on the subject of which it treats. As :i compilation, wc cannot too highly commend it. The opinions of the various writers of the highest authority are fairly given, and this without any attempt whatever, to force ppon us his own judgment of their views. Allopathy and Homoeopathy are alike dealt with. The style is easy and flowing, and yet clear and pointed withal, which, in a work of this kind, is of no little consequence. Did space permit, we should have liked to have favored our readers, with a few extracts ; but, as from what we have said, the majority of them will, doubtless, deem it their duty to purchase tho work, wo regret this our ina- bility thi We look forward with pleasure to tho next part of this publication—British and For- eign Journal of Homoeopathy. A TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF MARRIED FEMALES, including the Disorders of Pregnancy, Parturition and Lactation, by John C. Peters, Ml). Bound. 75 cts. The works of all the leading authorities, upon the subjects treated of, have been freely used, in connection with Dr. Peters' own varied and valuable experience The treatise \ iously been compiled with industry, care and judgment, and with an eye to sup- plying a substantial deficiency in the medical library. The subject in its various coui- its is treated clearly and copiously, with no parade of learned and technical terms, but with the simplicity and directness that are essential to the perfect understanding of it. This work is compiled and arranged upon the same plan as tho Treatise on Disorders of Menstruation and contains the highest medical authorities upon the subject in question. The various diseases and derangements are considered in a way that will prove acceptable to the profession.—Philadelphia Journal of Homoeopathy. Just Published. RUECKERT ON DISEASES OF THE EYES, translated by John C. Pe- ters, M.D. Bound. 75 cts. This work is characterized by the same industry and fulness of knowledge, which are found in all the works issued by Dr. Peters. Its ntyle is simple and clear, but compre- hensive. The American editor has evidently aimed at the performance of a valuable service to the profession, and at any rate he has accomplished something which may be a valuable beginning. The work will be found a useful one ; it is a compilation from the best autho- rities and those who have had the most elaborate experience in the treatment of Diseases of the Eyes. The Profession has long wanted a work particularly upon the organs of sight, and we commend this work of Dr. Peters as being suitable to supply the want; it will be found a convenient manual.—Philadelphia Journal of Homoeopathy.
