text-book on the subject. Both in this country and abroad it is
recognized as the most satisfactorily written and clearly illustrated
work on obstetrics in the language. The illustrations form one of the
features of the book. They are numerous and the most of them are
original. In this edition the book has been thoroughly revised. More
attention has been given to the diseases of the genital organs
associated with or following childbirth. Many of the old illustrations
have been replaced by better ones, and there have been added a number
entirely new. The work treats the subject from a clinical standpoint.

OPINIONS OF THE MEDICAL PRESS
* * * * *
#British Medical Journal#
"The popularity of American text-books in this country is one of the
features of recent years. The popularity is probably chiefly due to the
great superiority of their illustration over those of the English
text-books. The illustrations in Dr. Hirst's volume are far more
numerous and far better executed, and therefore more instructive, than
those commonly found in the works of writers on obstetrics in our own
country."
#Bulletin of Johns Hopkins Hospital#
"The work is an admirable one in every sense of the word, concisely but
comprehensively written."
#The Medical Record, New York#
"The illustrations are numerous and are works of art, many of them
appearing for the first time. The author's style, though condensed, is
singularly clear, so that it is never necessary to re-read a sentence in
order to grasp the meaning. As a true model of what a modern text-book
on obstetrics should be, we feel justified in affirming that Dr. Hirst's
book is without a rival."

Surgeon to the Gynecean Hospital, Philadelphia. Octavo volume of 550

JUST ISSUED
Regularly every year a new edition of this excellent text-book is called
for, and it appears to be in as great favor with physicians as with
students. Indeed, this book has taken its place as the ideal work for
the general practitioner. The author presents the best teaching of
modern gynecology, untrammeled by antiquated ideas and methods. In every
case the most modern and progressive technique is adopted, and the main
points are made clear by excellent illustrations. The new edition has
been carefully revised, much new matter has been added, and a number of
new original illustrations have been introduced. In its revised form
this volume continues to be an admirable exposition of the present
status of gynecologic practice.

The immediate success of this work is due to the special features that
distinguish it from other books of its kind. It gives a maximum of
matter in a minimum space and at the lowest possible cost. Though it is
practically unabridged, yet by the use of thin bible paper and flexible
morocco binding it is only 1-1/4 inches thick. In this new edition the
book has been thoroughly revised, and upward of two thousand new terms
have been added, thus bringing the book absolutely up to date. The book
contains hundreds of terms not to be found in any other dictionary, over
100 original tables, and many handsome illustrations.
