30 BLANCHARD & LEA'S MEDICAL Now Complete (April, 1857.) TODD (ROBERT BENTLEY), M. D., F. R. S., WILLIAM BOWMAN, F. R. S., Demonstrator of Anatomy in King's College, London. THE PHYSIOLOGICAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF MAN. With about three hundred large and beautiful illustrations on wood. Complete in one large octavo volume, of 950 pages, leather. Price $4 50. The very great delay which has occurred in the completion of this work has arisen from the desire of the authors to verify by their own examination the various questions and statements presented, thus rendering the work one of peculiar value and authority. By the wideness of its scope and the accuracy of its facts it thus occupies a position of its own, and becomes necessary to all physiological students. Gentlemen who have received portions of this work, as published in the "MEDICAL NEWS AND LIBRARY," can now complete their copies, if immediate application be made. It will be furnished as follows, free by mail, in paper covers, with cloth backs. PARTS I., II., III. (pp. 25 to 552), $2 50. PART IV. (pp. 553 to end, with Title, Preface, Contents, &c.), $2 00. Or, PART IV., SECTION IÍ. (pp. 725 to end, with Title, Preface, Contents, &c.), $1 25. A magnificent contribution to British medicine, and the American physician who shall fail to peruse it, will have failed to read one of the most instructive books of the nineteenth century.-N. O. Med and Surg. Journal, Sept. 1857. It is more concise than Carpenter's Principles, and more modern than the accessible edition of Müller's Elements; its details are brief, but sufficiert; its descriptions vivid; its illustrations exact and copious; and its language terse and perspicuous.Charleston Med. Journal, July, 1857. We recommend this work not only for its many original investigations especially into the minute anatomy and physiology of man, but we admire the constant association of anatomy with physiology. The motive power is studied in its connections and adaptations to the machine it is destined to guide, and the student feels constantly impressed with the necessity for an accurate knowledge of the structure of the human body before he can make himself master of its functions.-Va. Med. Journal, June, 1857. We know of no work on the subject of physiology so well adapted to the wants of the medical student. Its completion has been thus long delayed, that the authors might secure accuracy by personal observation.-St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal, Sept. '57. One of the very best books ever issued from any medical press. We think it indispensable to every reading medical man, and it may, with all propriety, and with the utmost advantage be made a text-book by any student who would thoroughly comprebend the groundwork of medicine.-N. O. Med. News, June, 1857. Our notice, though it conveys but a very feeble and imperfect idea of the magnitude and importance of the work now under consideration, already transcends our limits; and, with the indulgence of out readers, and the hope that they will peruse the book for themselves, as we feel we can with confidence recommend it, we leave it in their hands for them to judge of its merits.-The Northwestern Med, and Surg. Journal, Oct. 1857. out its features of remarkable excellence, and to It has been a far more pleasant task to us to point show in how many particulars the results which it embodies of skilful and zealous research do the highest credit to its able and accomplished authors It would be a serious omission were we not to take special notice of the admirable and copious illustra tions, the execution of which (by Mr. Vasey) is in the very finest style of wood-engraving-Brit, and For.

(Now Ready, 1857.) $1.50 The valuable practical nature of Dr. Todd's writings have deservedly rendered them favorites with the pro ession, and the present volume, embodying the medical aspects of a class of diseases not elsewhere to be found similarly treated, can hardly fail to supply a want long felt by the praetitioner WATSON (THOMAS), M. D., &c. LECTURES ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF PHYSIC. Third American edition, revised, with Additions, by D. FRANCIS CONDIE, M. D., author of a "Treatise on the Diseases of Children," &c. In one octavo volume, of nearly eleven hundred large pages, strongly bound with raised bands. $3 25. To say that it is the very best work on the subject now extant, is but to echo the sentiment of the medical press throughout the country.-N. O. Medical Journal. Of the text-books recently republished Watson is very justly the principal favorite.-Holmes's Rep. to Nat. Med. Assoc. By universal consent the work ranks among the very best text-books in our language.-Illinois and Indiana Med. Journal. Regarded on all hands as one of the very best, if not the very best, systematic treatise on practical medicine extant.-St. Louis Med. Journal. Confessedly one of the very best works on the principles and practice of physie in the English or any other language.-Med. Examiner. As a text-book it has no equal; as a compendium of pathology and practice no superior.-New York Annalist. We know of no work better calculated for being placed in the hands of the student, and for a textbook; on every important point the author seems to have posted up his knowledge to the day. — Amer.

Beautifully printed, in one large octavo volume, leather, of nearly six hundred pages. $300. In many, if not all the Colleges of the Union, it has become a standard text-book. This, of itself, is sufficiently expressive of its value. A work very desirable to the student; one, the possession of which will greatly facilitate his progress in the study of Practical Anatomy.-New York Journal of Medicine. Its author ranks with the highest on Anatomy.Southern Medical and Surgical Journal. It offers to the student all the assistance that can be expected from such a work.-Medical Examiner. The most complete and convenient manual for the student we possess.-American Journal of Medical Science. In every respect, this work as an anatomical guide for the student and practitioner, merits our warmest and most decided praise.-London Medical Gazette. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. (Just Issued.)

D., Demonstrator of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania. In one large and handsome royal 12mo. volume, leather, of 582 pages, with 154 illustrations. $200. The modifications and additions which this work has received in passing recently through the author's hands, is sufficiently indicated by the fact that it is enlarged by more than one hundred pages, notwithstanding that it is printed in smaller type, and with a greatly enlarged page. It remains only to add, that after a careful exami- | ing very superior claims, well calculated to facilitate nation, we have no hesitation in recommending this their studies, and render their labor less irksome, by work to the notice of those for whom it has been constantly keeping before them definite objects of expressly written-the students-as a guide possess-interest.-The Lancet. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. (Now Ready, May, 1857.) ON DISEASES OF THE SKIN. Fourth and enlarged American, from the last and improved London edition. In one large octavo volume, of 650 pages, extra cloth, $2 75. This volume in passing for the fourth time through the hands of the author, has received a careful revision, and has been greatly enlarged and improved. About one hundred and fifty pages have been added, including new chapters on Classification, on General Pathology, on General Therapeutics, on Furuncular Eruptions, and on Diseases of the Nails, besides extensive additions throughout the text, wherever they have seemed desirable, either from former omissions or from the progress of science and the increased experience of the author. Appended to the volume will also now be found a collection of SELECTED FORMULE, consisting for the most part of prescriptions of which the author has tested the value. The writings of Wilson, upon diseases of the skin, are by far the most scientific and practical that have ever been presented to the medical world on this subject. The present edition is a great improvement on all its predecessors. To dwell upon all the great merits and high claims of the work before us, seriatim, would indeed be an agreeable service; it would be a mental homage which we could freely offer, but we should thus occupy an undue amount of space in this Journal. We will, however look at some of the more salient points with which it abounds, and which make it incomparably superior in excellence to all other treatises on the subject of dermatology. No mere speculative views are allowed | a place in this volume, which, without a doubt, will, for a very long period, be acknowledged as the chief standard work on dermatology. The principles of an enlightened and rational therapeia are introduced on every appropriate occasion. The general practitioner and surgeon who, peradventure, may have for years regarded cutaneous maladies as scarcely worthy their attention, because, forsooth, they are not fatal in their tendency; or who, if they have attempted their cure, have followed the blind guidance of empiricism, will almost assuredly be roused to a new and becoming interest in this department of practice, through the inspiring agency of this book.-Am. Jour. Med. Science, Oct. 1857. ALSO, JUST READY, A SERIES OF PLATES ILLUSTRATING WILSON ON DISEASES OF THE SKIN; consisting of nineteen beautifully executed plates, of which twelve are exquisitely colored, presenting the Normal Anatomy and Pathology of the Skin, and containing accurate representations of about one hundred varieties of disease, most of them the size of nature. Price in cloth $4 25. In beauty of drawing and accuracy and finish of coloring these plates will be found superior to anything of the kind as yet issued in this country. The plates by which this edition is accompanied leave nothing to be desired, so far as excellence of delineation and perfect accuracy of illustration are concerned.-Medico-Chirurgical Review. Of these plates it is impossible to speak too highly. The representations of the various forms of cutaneous disease are singularly accurate, and the coloring exceeds almost anything we have met with in point of delicacy and finish.-British and Foreign Medical Review.

(Preparing), will contain DISEASES OF THE OVARIES, and of all the parts connected with the UTERUS; of the BLADDER, VAGINA, AND EXTERNAL ORGANS. The objoct of the author in this work is to present a complete but succinct treatise on Female Diseases, embodying the results of his experience during the last ten years at St. Bartholomew's and the Midwifery Hospitals, as well as in private practice. The characteristics which have se cured to his former works so favorable a reception, cannot fail to render the present volume a standard authority on its important subject. To show the general scope of the work, an outline of the Contents of Part I. is subjoined. Lectures I., II.-INTRODUCTORY-Symptoms-Examination of Symptoms-Modes of Examinations. Lectures III., IV., V-Disorders of MENSTRUATION, Amenorrhoea, Menorrhagia, Dysmenorrhoea.

An Elementary View of the Causes, Nature, Treatment, Diagnosis, and Prognosis of Disease; with brief remarks on Hygienics, or the preservation of health. A new American, from the third and revised London edition. In one octave volume, leather, of about 500 pages. $2 50. (Now Ready, May, 1857.) The very recent and thorough revision which this work has enjoyed at the hands of the author has brought it so completely up to the present state of the subject that in reproducing it no additions have been found necessary. The success which the work has heretofore met shows that its importance has been appreciated, and in its present form it will be found eminently worthy a continuance of the same favor, possessing as it does the strongest claims to the attention of the medical student and practitioner, from the admirable manner in which the various inquiries in the different branches of pathology are investigated, combined and generalized by an experienced practical physician, and directly applied to the investigation and treatment of disease. We find that the deeply-interesting matter and style of this book have so far fascinated us, that we have unconsciously hung upon its pages, not too long, indeed, for our own profit, but longer than reviewers can be permitted to indulge. We leave the further analysis to the student and practitioner. Our judgment of the work has already been sufficiently expressed. It is a judgment of almost unqualified praise.
