S. S. & W. Wood's Medical Catalogue.

FOURTH EDITION OF

VELPEAU'S OPERATIVE SURGERY;

Translated by P. 8. TOWNSEND, M.D., under the supervision of, and with Notes and Additions by,

VALENTINE MOTT, M.J.,

Professor of Surgery in the University of New York, &c., &c., with Additions by GEORGE C. BLACKMAN, M.D., Professor of Surgery in Medical College of Ohio, &c. In 8 vols. 8vo. and a Quarto Atlas of Plates. Price $15, free of postage. Of this valuable work, the revisions and additions, &c., Dr. Mott has furnished the following recommendation, viz. :

"Depau Row, July 11, 1856. "8.8. & W. WOOD: MY FRIENDS: I have looked through the three ponderous volumes of your last edition of Velpeau generally: some of the chapters I have examined with great care. "My astonishment is renewed in beholding the prodigious labors and learning of Velpeau. "The new arrangement of some of the chapters, particularly the extended one on aneurisms, have greatly improved the work.

"The additions in brackets throughout the whole text, as made by Dr. Blackman, with the American Appendix, of more than one hundred pages, brings it up to the present time in European and American Surgery.

"It is now, indeed, a National Surgery, and ought to be laboriously and faithfully studied by our pupils, and made a constant work of reference by every Surgeon.

"Truly, your friend,

V. MOTT." "The present edition of this work is an improvement upon its predecessors. The hand of revision is seen principally in the second volume, while to the third, we have added an American appendix of 184 pages. Of the additions which Dr. Blackman has made to the text, we shall not speak farther than to say that they are judicious, and are designed to bring the literature of each subject down to the present time. The editor exhibits that extensive and critical knowledge of the progress of surgery which has always characterized his writings, and which peculiarly fitted him to the task of revising a work of such literary researches as the Elements of Velpeau.

"The American Appendix added to the third volume embraces a large number of subjects which could not be inserted in the body of the work. This portion adds much to the value of the fourth edition, by rendering it complete in its historical details of operations to the present ime."- New York Journal of Medicine.

"Mott's Velpeau' is too widely known to the profession in this country to require a special notice at our hands. It is universally admitted to be the most extensive work on operative murgery that has ever appeared in the English language.

In his preface, Dr. Blackman remarks that it has been his object to arrange the work more methodically, and to incorporate the more important contributions made in the department of Operative Surgery, during the past ten years. His valuable statistics of operations on the arteries, of amputations, of exsections of the bones, &c., are to be found under their appropriate heads in the text of the work. His Appendix, arranged in alphabetical order, and comprising 184 pages, with numerous wood-cuts, is at the end of the volume, and contains much valuable Information for the practical surgeon."— Western Lancet.

"The previous editions have been long known and appreciated by the profession; and the present one will be equally well received as a decided improvement upon its predecessors, in accordance with the progress of the operative science and art to which its twenty-eight hundred and seventy-three closely printed pages are devoted. Dr. Blackman has per

formed his laborious and responsible task with adequate fidelity and ability; and has well earned the respect as well as thanks, of all who desire to possess one of the most voluminous and comprehensive, if not the most authoritative, treatise on the elements of Operative Survery yet published in the United States."-American Journal of Medical Sciences.

"It is a work which embraces almost every known or imagined operation of early or late timea, and is indispensable as a work of reference to surgeons."—IU, & Ia. Med. & Surg. Jour.

The Anatomical Remembrancer;

OR, COMPLETE POCKET ANATOMIST:

Containing a concise description of the structure of the human body.
Second Edition.

With corrections and additions by

C. E. ISAACS, M.D.,

Demonstrator of Anatomy in the University of New York.

Price 50 cts., free of postage.

"It is anatomy-clear, correct, and practical-in a nut-shell."-Nelson's American Lancet "A very complete and convenient little book, for the use of students in the dissecting-room." -Southern Med, and Surg. Jour.

"It presents, in admirable miniature, an outline picture of the whole subject, so concentrated that a short time only is necessary to review the whole science. It is, in fact, anatomy. in a nut-shell."-Eclectic Med. Jour.

"A valuable little companion for the student of anatomy, or for any persons who may be preparing themselves for an examination."-- Western Lancet.

A TREATISE ON

Fractures in the Vicinity of Joints,

AND ON CERTAIN FORMS OF ACCIDENTAL AND CONGENITAL DISLOCATIONS.

BY ROBERT WILLIAM SMITH, M.D., M.R.LA.,

Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, &c., &a.

WITH 191 ILLUSTRATIONS.

Price $4, free of postage.

"One of our best models for conducting surgical observations."-American Journal of Medical Sciences.

"A volume full of interesting practical observations."-Sir Benj. Brodie,

"Undoubtedly the most important addition to the literature of surgical science with which we have been presented for many years."-Dublin Quar, Journal of Medical Science.

"One of the most valuable works which has ever issued from the press on the subject of fractures. It embraces some of the most difficult points connected with the subject, which are handled in the most masterly style."-Ranking`s Half-Yearly Abstract.

"Every chapter is replete with information to the surgeon, and there are nearly 200 illustra*ions, which are very beautiful specimens of art."-London Medical Times.

"One of the best works on this subject that we have seen in some time."-Georgia Blister and Critic.

"The best work extant on the subject of fractures in the vicinity of joints. It discusses Intelligibly and practically some of the most troublesome points in surgical practice-obscure and complicated points in the management of accidents affecting the articulations."-New York Journal of Medicine.

"No one can glance at its carefully-executed illustrations, without admitting its great superiority over every other book of its kind which has yet appeared. Such a work should find a place, not only in the library of teachers of surgery and hospital surgeons, but should be in the hands of every one who may be called upon to treat so important an injury as a fracture in the vicinity of a joint."-Medical Examiner.

THE ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND PATHOLOGY OF THE

HUMAN

TEETH:

With the most approved Methods of Treatment, including Operations, and the method of making and setting Artificial Teeth. With 80 Plates.

BY PAUL B. GODDARD, M.D., M.A.N.S., M.A.P.S.

Demonstrator of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania, aided in the practical part by JOSEPH E PARKER, Dentist.

Price $8 50, free of postage.

"The account of the structure of the teeth is a very valuable one, and is illustrated by some remarkably well-executed views of their microscopie structure."-American Journal of Medical Science.

"The illustrations are both numerous and truthful, and add exceedingly to the value of a production of this kind, as descriptions of the parts concerned are better understood when the ye has something to rest upon."-Dental News-Letter.

"Methodical in its arrangement, concise and practical in its style, and illustrated by numer. ons engravings, faithful in delineation and beautiful in their execution, it does credit to both the author and publishers; and is well calculated to elevate the profession to which it is devoted No dentist's library could be complete without it."-N. J. Medical Reporter.

"It is one of the best illustrated works that pretends to treat of dental theory and practice. The cuts, illustrating the anatomy and physiology of the teeth, are alone worth more than the price of the work."-N. Y. Dental Record.

"This book contains valuable information for the general practitioner as well as the dentist." -Peninsular Jour, of Med.

"We especially commend this work to dentists residing at a distance from cities, and who are compelled to prepare their own materiel."-Stethoscope.

"The work is one of the best we have examined."-Nelson's American Lancet.

ESSAYS ON CHOLERA INFANTUM,

For which the Prize of the New York Academy of Medicine was awarded, March 5th, 1856, By JAMES STEWART, M.D., Author of "A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children." Price 87 cents.

Dr. Stewart has the advantage of an established reputation as an author on the diseases of infants and children; we know of no one among us better qualified, both by previous study and habits of careful observation and correct reasoning, to do justice to the subject of this essay."-New York Medical Times.
