URINARY BLADDER, THE PROSTATE GLAND, AND THE URETHRA.

BY S. D. GROSS, M. D.,

Professor of Surgery in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia.

SECOND EDITION, REVISED AND MUCH ENLARGED.

With one hundred and eighty-four Illustrations.

In one large and very handsome octavo volume, of over nine hundred pages, extra cloth, $4 75; leather, raised bands, $5 25.

Whoever will peruse the vast amount of valuable practical information it contains. and which we have been unable even to notice, will, we think, agree with us, that there is no work in the English language which can make any just pretensions to be its equal. -N. Y. Journal of Medicine.

On the appearance of the first edition of this work, the leading English medical review predicted that it would have a "permanent place in the literature of surgery worthy to rank with the best works of the present age." This prediction has been amply fulfilled. Dr. Gross's treatise has been found to supply completely the want which has been felt ever since the elevation of surgery to the rank of science, of a good practical treatise on the diseases of the bladder and its accessory organs. Philosophical in its design, methodical in its arrangements, ample and sound in its

practical details, it may in truth be said to leave scarcely anything to be desired on so important a subject, and with the additions and modifications resulting from future discoveries and improvements, it will probably remain one of the most valuable works on this subject so long as the science of medicine shall exist.-Boston Med. and Surg. Journal.

A volume replete with truths and principles of the utmost value in the investigation of these diseases.American Medical Journal.

Dr. Gross has brought all his learning, experience, tact, and judgment to the task, and has produced a work worthy of his high reputation. We feel perfectly safe in recommending it to our readers as a monograph unequalled in interest and practical value by any other on the subject in our language.-The Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery.

NE LIBRARY. STANFORD UNIVER

To make room for additional matter, the anatomical introduction was omitted in the new London edition, but we are glad to notice that the American publishers retain it. It is by far the best anatomy of the testis we possess, and should by all means accompany the treatise, giving it, as it does, a completeness of detail which satisfies the want of the practitioner. The reputation of the work has been so long and thoroughly established that the labor of the critic may be confined to the simple announcement of its republication. Many who, since the exhaustion of the previous edition have been unable to procure it, will doubtless profit by this hint. We need only add that it is the most complete scientific and practical account of diseases of the testis in the language.Buffalo Med. Journal, Sept. 1856.

Chimney-Sweeper's Cancer,

We have taken considerable pains to compare the present with the previous edition, and take pleasure in stating as the result of our investigations that it is in every way superior to it. In style and precision of language there is a marked improvement, a large amount of new and important matter has been introduced by the author, while his increased experience has enabled him to speak positively on many questions in which his opinions were indecisively or differently given in the first edition. As it now stands, we can unhesitatingly speak of it as the first work upon the subjects it treats of in our language, one worthy in all respects of the confidence and approbation of the profession. Med. Examiner, Sept. 1856.

A very elaborate work. It is a complete summary of the whole subject, and will be a useful book of reference.-British and Foreign Medico-Chirurg. Review.

A highly valuable book of reference on a most important subject in the practice of medicine. We conclude by recommending it to our readers, fully persuaded that its perusal will afford them much practical information well conveyed, evidently derived from considerable experience and deduced from an ample collection of facts.- Dublin Quarterly Journal.

A NEW WORK ON THE EAR—(Now Ready.)

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON

DISEASES OF THE EAR,
THEIR DIAGNOSIS, PATHOLOGY, AND TREATMENT.
BY JOSEPH TOYNBEE, F. R. S.,

Aural Surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital.

ILLUSTRATED WITH ONE HUNDED ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD. In one beautifully printed octavo volume, extra cloth, $3.

Mr. Toynbee's name is too widely known as the highest authority on all matters connected with Aural Surgery and Medicine, to require special attention to be called to anything which he may communicate to the profession on the subject. Twenty years' labor devoted to the present work has embodied in it the results of an amount of experience and observation which perhaps no other living practitioner has enjoyed. It therefore cannot fail to prove a complete and trustworthy guide on all matters connected with this obscure and little known class of diseases, which so frequently embarrass the general practitioner.

The Artificial Membrana Tympani.

The volume will be found thoroughly illustrated with a large number of original wood-engravings, elucidating the pathology of the organs of hearing, instruments, operations, &c., and in every respect is one of the handsomest specimens of mechanical execution issued from the American press.

He has evidently worked hard, and worked, too, in the right direction; and we congratulate him on the result he now gives us of his twenty long years' experience. The book is worthy of the profession to which it is addressed, and is an exceedingly valuable addition to medical literature. It contains nearly one hundred exquisite illustrations. It is written in a clear, concise, simple style, and it is very practical; and, to any one accustomed to the examination of the ear, it is impossible not to admire the faithfulness with which the various cases and descriptions of disease are given. He has, indeed, no new and infallible cures for deaf

ness to propound; but, like Mr. Wilde before him, he has attempted, and with much success, to lay down just principles for an accurate diagnosis of diseases of the ear, and to found them upon the well established laws of modern pathology, practical surgery, reasonable therapeutics, and common sense.- Edinburgh Med. Journal, June, 1860.

We have seldom met with a work which has gained. so entirely our unreserved approbation, and which we can so confidently recommend to the careful study of the profession.- Southern Med. and Surg. Journal, June, 1860.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON

FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS.

BY FRANK HASTINGS HAMILTON, M. D.,
Professor of Surgery in the University of Buffalo, &c.

ILLUSTRATED WITH TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-NINE WOOD-CUTS.
In one large and very handsome octavo volume, of over 750 pages, extra cloth, $4 25.

Old Fracture of Neck of Humerus.

It is truly a great work; both from the amount of labor, of which it is the result, and from its immense importance to a certain portion of the profession. Am. Medical Monthly, May, 1860.

We have never perused a treatise on any branch of medicine, that shows signs of greater industry in the collection, arrangement, and appreciation of facts, combined with practical knowledge and personal experience. There is hardly a subject touched on, to which he has not brought something worth relating, derived from his own observation, and it is this combination of literary research with clinical observation that renders his treatise useful not only to the learned surgeon, but invaluable also to him whose avocations and opportunities oblige him to follow his profession in a less scientific, but not less useful manner, as a practical art.-British American Journal, April, 1860.

A work like the present is one which always deserves the hearty thanks of the profession, because of its filling a void long felt by every searcher after facts in the wide and confused domain of surgery. We here have what has been so long needed-a complete and

reliable mirror of fractures and dislocations, in which are reflected the most important theories and practical truths of every age and country in which surgery has had an advocate or practitioner. The author has certainly displayed no ordinary tenacity and fixedness of purpose in the manner in which he has pursued and carried out this masterly and systematic work. The

language is easy, clear, and fluent; the illustrations well executed, and the book contains more information than any we have ever consulted on the same subject--Nashville Med. Journal, May, 1860.

We have entertained the highest expectations in regard to this book-they are fully realized. We venture the prophecy that, by common consent, it will be allowed the highest place that any work on the subject of which it treats, has ever occupied. Reader, if, in regard to fractures and dislocations, you would understand your duty, your rights, your immunities, purchase the work, master it, practise its precepts, and above all, lay claim to its recognition as a standard of practical results.-Ohio Med. and Surg. Journal, May, 1860.

Operation for Strabismus.

Few modern books on any department of medicine or surgery have met with such extended circulation, or have procured for their authors a like amount of European celebrity. The immense research which it displayed, the thorough acquaintance with the subject, practically as well as theoretically, and the able manner in which the author's stores of learning and experience were rendered available for general use, at once procured for the first edition, as well on the continent as in this country, that high position as a standard work which each successive edition has more firmly established, in spite of the attractions of several rivals of no mean ability. This, the fourth edition, has been in a great measure rewritten; new matter, to the extent of one hundred and fifty pages, has been added, and in several instances formerly expressed opinions have been modified in accordance with the advances in the science which have been made of late years. Nothing worthy of repetition upon any branch of the subject appears to have escaped the author's notice. We consider it the duty of every one who has the love of his profession and the welfare of his patient at heart, to make himself familiar with this the most complete work in the English language upon the diseases of the eye.-Med. Times and Gazette.

The treatise of Dr. Mackenzie indisputably holds the first place, and forms, in respect of learning and research, an Encyclopædia unequalled in extent by any other work of the kind, either English or foreign.Dixon on Diseases of the Eye.

A NEW TEXT-BOOK ON INSANITY.

A MANUAL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL MEDICINE;

CONTAINING

THE HISTORY, NOSOLOGY, DESCRIPTION. STATISTICS. DIAGNOSIS, PATHOLOGY, AND TREATMENT OF

INSANITY.

By J. C. BUCKNILL, M. D.,

Medical Superintendent of the Devon County Lunatic Asylum,

AND DANIEL H. TUKE, M.D.,

Visiting Medical Officer to the York Retreat.

In one very neat octavo volume of 536 pages, with a plate; extra cloth, $3.

Every physician ought to have some work on Insanity, and, as most can afford to have but one, we would recommend this unreservedly as the best. It is sufficiently full, it is clear in its statements and descriptions, and very discriminating in its practical views.... We have seldom met with a collection of such judicious views of the treatment of disease as are in this chapter presented of the treatment of insanity, and we would commend them to the careful examination of the profession, not only from their value in their special bearing on this disease, but also on account of their development of the true principles of the treatment of diseases generally.-Am. Med. Journal, Oct. 1858.

We do not know where anything can be found in the literature of the specialty to compare with these essays, in complete and logical treatment, and the clear, practical manner in which their subjects are discussed. They will be cited as authority wherever the language is used, and will, no doubt, be extensively translated. -Am. Journ. of Insanity, Oct. 1858.

We know of no one book which so fully embraces everything connected with the insane. Altogether, we can confidently recommend the work to our readers; we believe they will find it one which deserves to be valued even beyond any praise which we have deemed it our duty to accord to a volume of both great medical and great moral merit.-Dublin Quarterly Journal, Aug. 1858.

In conclusion, we can say, in all sincerity, that seldom have the expectations raised by the language of the Preface been so fully realized in the execution of the work as in the volume of Drs Buck nill and Tuke. Its publication removes all excuse that may, hitherto, have been alleged by students and practitioners of medicine for neglect of the subject owing to the want of a work of insanity for ready reference-one which, like the present, contains sound principles, enforced and illustrated by a series of pertinent and welldigested facts, evidently accumulated by long personal experience and much reading-North American Medico-Chirurgical Review, Sept. 1858.
