The most complete and systematic treatise on the subject in its day.

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Women This work was undertaken with the conviction that a treatise, such as that which the Author has aimed to prepare, was needed as a text-book for the American student and a book of reference for the busy practitioner. N O department of medicine has made greater advances within the last few years than Gynecology; yet the record of its pro gress is, for the most part, to be found only in special mono graphs, journals, transactions of societies, &c., which are inac cessible to the mass of the profession in this country. It has, therefore, seemed to the author that a volume which should, within a limited space, present the latest aspect Of the subject in a systematic form, could scarcely fail to prove useful, while his position for the last thirteen years as a teacher in this depart ment has encouraged him in the hope that his familiarity with the needs of the student may, to some extent, have fitted him to undertake the task.
