ts, be found as
separate chapters. There is a large chapter devoted entirely to _medical
gynecology_, written especially for the physician engaged in general
practice. Heretofore the general practitioner was compelled to search
through an entire work in order to obtain the information desired.
_Abdominal surgery_ proper, as distinct from gynecology, is fully
treated, embracing operations upon the stomach, upon the intestines,
upon the liver and bile-ducts, upon the pancreas and spleen, upon the
kidney, ureter, bladder, and the peritoneum. Special attention has been
given to _modern technic_ and illustrations of the very highest order
have been used to make clear the various steps of the operations.
Indeed, the illustrations are truly magnificent, being the work of _Mr.
Hermann Becker_ and _Mr. Max Broedel_, of the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

THREE EDITIONS IN EIGHTEEN MONTHS

Three editions of this work have been demanded in eighteen months. Among
the new additions are: Colonic lavage and flushing, Hirst's treatment
for vaginismus, Dudley's treatment of cystocele, Montgomery's round
ligament operation, Chorio-epithelioma of the Uterus, Passive
Incontinence of the Urine, and Moynihan's methods in Intestinal
Anastomosis. Nothing is left to be taken for granted, the author not
only telling his readers in every instance what should be done, but also
precisely _how to do it_. A distinctly original feature of the book is
the illustrations, numbering about one thousand line drawings made
especially under the author's personal supervision from actual
apparatus, living models, and dissections on the cadaver. These line
drawings show in detail the procedures and operations without obscuring
their purpose by unnecessary and unimportant anatomic surroundings.
