DISEASES

OF

INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD.

BY THE SAME AUTHOR-(Just Issued.)

LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN.

Complete in one handsome 8vo. volume, extra cloth, of about 500 pages. Price $2 50.

As a writer, Dr. West stands, in our opinion, second only to Watson, the "Macaulay of Medicine; he possesses that happy faculty of clothing instruction in easy garments; combining pleasure with profit, he leads his pupils, in spite of the ancient proverb, along a royal road to learning. His work is one which will not satisfy the extreme on either side, but it is one that will please the great majority who are seeking truth, and one that will convince the student that he has committed himself to a candid, safe, and valuable guide. We anticipate with pleasure the appearance of the second part of the work, which, if it equals this part, will complete one of our very best volumes upon diseases of females.-N. A. Med.-Chirurg. Review, July, 1858.

We must now conclude this hastily written sketch with the confident assurance to our readers that the work will well repay perusal. The conscientious, painstaking, practical physician is apparent on every page.-N. Y. Journal of Medicine, March, 1858.

We know of no treatise of the kind so complete and yet so compact.-Chicago Med. Journal, January, 1858.

A fairer, more honest, more earnest, and more reliable investigator of the many diseases of women and children is not to be found in any country.-Southern Med. and Surg. Journal, January, 1858.

We gladly recommend his Lectures as in the highest degree instructive to all who are interested in obstetric practice.-London Lancet.

We have to say of it, briefly and decidedly, that it is the best work on the subject in any language; and that it stamps Dr. West as the facile princeps of British obstetric authors.— Edinb. Med. Journal.
