H. LUDWIG, PRINTER, 
70 & 72, Vesey-St., N.Y. ADDRESS. 
On the occasion of presenting their New Medical Catalogue for 1846, to the 
notice of the Profession, the undersigned would beg respectfully to refer to 
the novel plan of its classification and arrangement, including brief critical 
and characteristic notices of the more important works in the various depart- 
ments of Medical Literature-a feature which will doubtless be found advan- 
tageous ; the whole being designed as auxiliary to the acquiring a more compe- 
tent knowledge of their respective value, as also to facilitate reference in the 
selection of the most approved productions in any of the leading or collateral 
sciences. 
Having for some years devoted considerable care and attention to the Medical 
branch of their business, which is becoming constantly augmented by the 
accession of many new and highly important works;-their arrangements be- 
ing also completed for receiving early copies of all new Medical Books, pub- 
lished in England and America; they trust that while they respectfully invite 
the inspection of the Members of the Faculty to their present collection, which 
will be found, on examination, to be the most extensive and varied in the 
country; they will here find advantages not to be exceeded by any similar 
establishment. 
Students and gentlemen residing in the country can be supplied with all New 
and Standard Medical Works on terms lower than at any other house in the 
city; and the undersigned not only- pledge themselves that the strictest atten- 
tion shall be paid to any commissions with which they may be favoured, but 
they further beg to state that if their terms are found in any instance to be 
higher than at any other establishment, they will be willing to receive the works 
back. They would also add, that Members of the Profession and others re- 
siding in the country, who may favor them with their commands, will find their 
instructions attended to with the same punctuality and economy as if presented 
personally.

Translated from the French, with an appendix, by James Stewart, M.D. Second editon. 1 vol. 8vo. 
New York, 1845, 
The principal object of this work is to exhibit the peculiar character of the symptoms of infantile 
diseases, and to consider them in relation to the alterations which the organs have undergone. Each 
apparatus has passed successive!}' in review, and the varieties of form and ap|>earance of every organ 
have been studied by the author, with reference to their healthy and pathological condition; and no 
conclusions are drawn until the symptoms and the nature of the anatomical lesions have been duly 
considered. 
The author's opportunity for pursuing the necessary investigation of the various subjects treated of in 
this work, may be learned from the circumstance of his occupying a station in the " Hospice des Enfans 
Trouvds," which enabled him, in one year alone, to examine the condition of 5,330 infants, and to ex- 
tend Ids anatomical researches to nearly 700. 
" The work of M. Billard is generally acknowledged to be one of the most important on the subject 
of which it treats of any that have hitherto been published. For minute but cautious reasoning, it may 
serve as a model ; and what it lacks in therapeutic detail, is supplied by the experienced translator in 
the appendix."-Amer. Jour, of the Med. Sciences, Nov. 1839. 
" The American translation of Dr. Dillard's elaborate work will supply a want felt to exist in our 
medical literature. He has enjoyed opportunities of persuing pathological investigations to almost an 
unlimited extent, and he has very diligently availed himself of them, presenting to the world, as the 
result, a book remarkable for the variety and importance of the facts it contains. Of the manner in 
which Dr. Stewart has executed his task, we can speak in the highest terms. He has not only render- 8 Astor House, New York.

The following estimate of the character of this Dictionary is from the pen of Dr. Reese :- 
" To condense and arrange all the novel and interesting facts which clinical experience is furnishing, 
and upon which alone the edifice of true science can be erected, is a task worthy of the immense labour 
which Mr. Cooper has bestowed on each succeeding reprint of his Dictionary, and one to which he lias 
proved himself entirely adequate. The extensive and multiplied resources to which he has access, 
furnish him with facilities possessed by few ; and in availing himself of these, he has exhibited an in- 
dustry, and, for the most part, an impartiality, worthy of all praise. 
" It has long been esteemed a standard work, is adopted as a text-book in our Universities, Colleges, 
and Schools of Medicine generally, ami finds a place in the library of every surgeon in the country."

This work contains the opinions and practice of the most experienced writers, British and Foreign, 
digested and wrought up with the results of the author's experience. It also presents a diversified 
range of opinions, methods of cure, and authorities, and comprises the complications and modified states 
of disease which are even more frequently met with than those specific forms too often described by 
Nosologists as constant and unvarying types, to which morbid actions, occurring under a great variety 
of circumstances, can never closely adhere. It contains also a full exposition of the general principles 
of Pathology, a minute description of the organic lesions of the human body, and a detailed account 
of those states of disorder incidental to the sex, the different periods of life, and to particular climates, 
with the peculiarities resulting from temperament and habit of body. Each article is methodically di- 
vided and headed ; and to each a copious Bibliography, with references, is added.

*** This important work consists of a series of original Essays upon all the subjects of Medicine, 
contributed by no less than sixty-seven of the most eminent practical physicians of Great Britain and 
Ireland ; forming a complete Library of Medicine. Each subject has been treated by a writer of ac- 
knowledged reputation, whose particular studies have eminently fitted him for the task, and all the 
articles are authenticated with the names of the authors ; thus giving the work a character of originali- 
ty and authority which does not belong to Cycloptedias upon the plan of anonymous publication, or to 
compilations by single writers, however learned and industrious. 
Cyclopaedia of Practical Surgery ; embracing a complete View of all the 
departments in operative medicine. Edited by W. B. Costello, M.D. Large 8vo. with numerous en- 
gravings. (In the course of publication-any part sold separately.) London, 1843. 
"The ' Cycloptedia of Practical Surgery' has been undertaken for the purpose of collecting into one 
copious and comprehensive digest the Doctrines of Surgery, and the valuable View's of Practice, which 
either rest on individual experience, or are inculcated in too isolated a manner for the general benefit. 
In order to stamp upon this important undertaking-hitherto a desideratum in Medical Literature-that 
character of authority to which it aspires, care has been taken, in the distribution of the various sub- 
jects, to confine the execution of them to personsof acknowledged ability and experience in the several 
departments: and thus the most distinguished writers in Great Britain and the Continent of Europe 
have been associated for the production of a work which, when complete, may fairly claim to be con-

Dublin Dissector ; or Manual of Anatomy. Comprising a Dissection of 
the Bones, Muscles, Nerves, and Viscera ; also the relative Anatomy of the different Regions of the 
Human Body; together with the elements of Pathology. From the fourth revised Dublin edition, 
considerably enlarged and improved. Edited by R. Watts, jr., M.D., Professor of Anatomy in the 
New-York Medical College. 1 vol. 12mo. 557 pp. New-York, 1845. 
The above work has not only long been considered the best manual of Practical Anatomy in our 
language, having been introduced into almost every important medical college in Great Britain, but it 
has also become the standard work on the subject, and been adopted by every medical institution in 
our own country. Being desirous of presenting to the medical students of this country an edition of 
the work which should comprise every possible advantage, the publishers have availed themselves 
of the valuable services of the American editor, Dr. Watts, whose proficiency in this department of 
medical science has rendered him deservedly distinguished, to which he has appended a series of notes 
and illustrations, derived principally from the celebrated works of Cruveilhier, Horner, Tiedemann, 
and Gross, which will be found of great use, and consequently enhance the intrinsic value of the 
book. These additions, which occupy about 150 pages, are enclosed in brackets to distinguish them 
from the text, and being printed in small type are incorporated without much increasing its original 
size, or rendering the volume importable as a dissecting manual. An additional improvement, which 
will doubtless commend itself to the preference of the student for its manifest utility, is the introduc- 
tion of a classification of the muscles, as also a description of the principal varieties which are met 
with in the muscular, arterial and venous systems, together with additional directions on other sub- 
jects in the appendix, as well as references to various anatomical preparations either in the college 
museums or in private collections. 
"This admirable manual of practical Anatomy, with the valuable notes and illustrations by Dr. 
Watts, is certainly unsurpassed by any similar work in the language. To the medical student, as 
well as the practitioner, this volume must prove of indispensable value."-Boston Medical Journal.

"The subject of Materia Medica has been handled by our author with more than usual judgment. 
He has, very wisely in our opinion, given his principal attention to the articles of the Materia Medica 
as medicines. In conclusion, we strongly recommend these volumes to our readers. No medical

" It may, indeed, be correctly affirmed, that we have no dictionary of medical subjects and terms 
which can be looked upon as adapted to the state of the science. In proof of this, the author need 
but to remark, that he has found occasion to add several thousand Medical Terms, which are not to 
be met with in the only medical lexicon nt. this time in circulation in this country. The present edition 
will be found to contain many hundred Terms more than the preceding one, and to have experienced 
numerous Additions and Modifications." 
Human Physiology. Illustrated by engravings. Fifth edition, 
greatly improved. 2 vols. large 8vo. Philad. 1844. 
"Since the appearance of the last edition of this standard work on Physiology, the labours nnd 
discoveiies in that branch of science have been so diversified and important, that extensive additions 
have become necessary in the present edition ; and reference has therefore been made to the large and 
valuable works of Valentin, Bischoff, Henle, Wilbrand, .1. Muller, Wagner, Mandi, Gerber, Liebig, 
Carpenter, Todd and Bowman, and others, and all the results of their interesting and important in- 
vestigations will be found embodied in its pages. More than ninety new cuts have been added, chiefly 
to elucidate subjects now first introduced into this edition ; making this the most completely illustrated 
treatise on Human Physiology that has ever been attempted in this country." 
New Remedies : the method of preparing and administering them : 
their effects on the healthy and diseased economy, &c. Fourth edition, enlarged. 1 vol. 8vo.

This edition will be found more complete than any of the former. It contains all the new remedies 
introduced since the third edition in 1841, as well as the new matter embodied in the pharmaceutical 
journals and essays since that period, as well as in the large works of Pereira, Christison. Bouchardat, 
Lincke, and others. The new matter (about seventy pages) thus introduced through the work can 
only be appreciated on close investigation. 
The Practice of Medicine ; or a Treatise on Special Pathology and

Notwithstanding the short period in which this work has been before the profession, it is so

Colleges, that, in presenting this new and much improved edition, it would be a work of supereroga- 
tion to say any thing in its commendation.

Medicine, are possessed by few, and when we say, as we do with great candour, that the Treatise 
before us will bear a very favourable comparison with any modern work of the same class, while it 
is far superior, as well in regard to the soundness of its pathological views, generally speaking, as to

" The authors of the work before us have had the advantage of investigating the subject of Infantile 
Diseases, conjointly, in a public institution; an advantage which no private medical man, how- 
ever extensive his practice, could probably have. The observations being made conjointly too, offer a 
greater guarantee of correctness and authenticity, than if they emanated from a single source, however 
respectable. From their acquaintance, also, with foreign works, they have been able to bring up the 
Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and even Therapeutics, to a far higher level than is to be found in 
any previous work in the English language.

This work is designed to furnish the practical Dentist and country Physician with a full account of 
the Anatomy Physiology, and Pathology of the Teeth, with the remedies proper in each case. It also 
contains full directions for the making and setting of Artificial Teeth. The Anatomy contains an ac- 
count of the microscopic structure, which has recently been so highly developed, and which throws 
much light on the changes produced by various agencies, chemical and mechanical. The physiological 
portion contains the description and development of the growth of the teeth, both temporary and per- 
manent. The Pathology comprises the diseases of the teeth, with the appropriate treatment, includ- 
ing scaling, filing, plugging, extracting, &c., &c. The last portion is devoted to the making, colouring, 
and setting artificial teeth, particularly those known by the title of Incorruptible. The practical details 
included in the last section will be furnished by a Dentist who is thoroughly acquainted with his pro- 
fession. The plates which illustrate every point of value or importance, will be of the full quarto 
size, and in almost every instance will be from nature, and their execution of the best character.

Examinations in Anatomy, Physiology, Practice of Medicine, Surge-

The high estimation in which Hooper's Manual of Examinations is held by the members of the medi- 
cal profession, as well as students ; the fact of its being entirely out of print; and the daily enquiries 
made for it, have induced the Publishers to offer anew American edition of this valuable w'ork. It is4 
a correct reprint of the latest English edition, with such additions and corrections, as were deemed ne- 
cessary to render it as complete as the size of the volume would admit.

"The reputation which Dr. Hope has acquired in the profession by his splendid work on the Dis- 
eases of the Heart, will prepare us to expect much from the same able pen on the subject of General 
Pathology. The work before us, the last we believe published by the author, is a welcome and a 
valuable accession to the works on Pathology which we already possess. Dr. Hope seems from this 
specimen to have had clear conceptions of the real objects and advantages of Pathological Science to 
the young practitioner. He describes and represents the more obvious, and the more striking changes 
wrought in the system by disease. He does not consume his own, and the valuable time of the student, 
in writing long chapters on the morbid alterations of insignificant cryptte, or mucous glands, whose 
very existence is alone revealed to a powerful microscope, but limits his descriptions to those sensible, 
obvious and appreciable changes which result from diseased action, and hence the great value of this 
work to the young physician who is desirous to learn so much of Pathology, as will enable him to in- 
stitute a rational and sound system of Practice."-New Orleans Medical Journal.

best book on the subject in any language.''-Brit, and For. Med. Rev. 8 Astor House, New York.

" These plaies are by far the best of the kind that we have ever seen. They are elaborately cor-

is accompanied by a lucid and well-wiitten description, together with many appropriate physiological 
and pathological observations. To those surgeons who are at a distance from the dissecting-room, 
they must prove invaluable : and the exceedingly cheap rate at which they are published entitles the 
proprietors to the sincere thanks of the profession."- Lancet.

" The work of Professor Moreau is a treasure of obstetrical science and practice, and the American 
edition of it an elegant specimen of the arts."-Philad. Med. Ex. 
" Moreau's treatise is another valuable work upon the science of Midwifery, with eighty of the most 
splendid lithographic plates we have ever seen. These illustrations are engraved with so 
much beauty and accuracy and upon so large a scalk, that they cannot fail to present to Ilie 
eye the precise relation of the fetus and of the parts engaged in labour, under every condition and cir- 
cumstance, from the commencement of the state of natural parturition, to the most difficult and com- 
plicated labour. The profession are greatly indebted to French industry in pathological and special 
anatomy for the continued advance in the science of Obstetrics; and the work before us may be regard- 
ed as the completion of all that has accumulated in this department of medical science, greatly en- 
hanced in value by many valuable original suggestions, to the proper arrangement of which tne author 
has devoted a great amount of labour. The translation is faithfully and elegantly done and the work

Philad. 1843. 
In arranging the volume now offered to American readers, from the materials furnished in Muller's 
Elements of Physiology, the Editor has endeavoured to procure reduction in size, of this latter, 
without any abstraction of its vitality and mind. With this view he has omitted, for the most part, 
mere disquisitions, many details of experiments, matters of physics and natural philosophy, including 
mechanics under the head of locomotion, acoustics and the theories of music under voice and hearing, 
and of optics under vision,-much of the minutiae of comparative physiology, and metaphysics or 
metaphysico physiology. But, while excluding details on collateral topics, the Editor has been par- 
ticularly careful to preserve Physiology Proper, which, resting on the basis of Histogeny and General 
Anatomy, derives important aid from Organic Chemistry and Microscopical Observations, tind in its 
turn serves to illustrate Hygiene, Pathology and Therapeutics. Thus aided and thus applied, in the 
manner exhibited by Muller himself, Physiology will invite the attention of the Student in these pages. 
It will soon be discovered that, although this volume is an abridgment of the large work of Muller, 
it may rightfully claim to be considered a complete system of Physiology, exceeding in copiousness and 
comprehensive details, any other work on the same subject which has yet emanated from the London 
press.

*■ This excellent work is constructed on the model of the French Surgical Works by Velpeau and

" All the modern operations for the cure of squinting, club foot, and the replacing lost parts and re-

" This treatise has strong claims to notice, not only from the reputation which its author has estab-

" The Lectures of Mr. Pereira have been acknowledged, by those acquainted with the subject, to 
constitute by far the best authority tn the English language in reference to the natural history and

gratifying to our pride of country, than thai of making our readers acquainted with Dr. Ray's Treatise 
on the Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity ; a work which, whether we regard it as a contribution to

" We take leave of our author with the declaration that his work is a monument of the most ex- 
traordinary industry. We have no hesitation in adding that it is the best book we possess in any lan-

letter press formed of the history and pathology of the diseases of the cutaneous surface, M. Rayer 
should be his pilot." 
Of the Plates.-"Considered in this respect, but more especially in reference to the number of illus- 
trations of the general speciesand varieties of such order » hieh it contains, the Atlas far surpasses 
any that has yet appeared. On the whole Rayer's Atlas may conscientiously be said to contain the 
most complete series of illustrations of cutaneous diseases hitherto published, and is, besides, not only 
cheaper than any other, but well worth the sum fur which it is offered to the profession."-British 
and Foreign Medical Review. 
" We can recommend the present translation of Rayer's Treatise as an excellent companion at the 
bedside of the patient."-Lancet.

other important medical subjects."-Med. Examiner.

and augmented with a Treatise on Minor Surgery, and accompanied with 300 plates incorporated with 
the text, with the addition of several hundred pages of new matter, comprising all the latest Improve- 
ments and Discoveries in Surgery in America and Europe up to the present time. By P. S. Townsend, 
M.D. Under the supervision of, and with a prefatory notice by, Valentine Mott, M. D., Professor of 
Surgery in the University of New-York, with a quarto volume of plates. 3 vols. 8vo. N. Y. 1846. 
" It is sufficient to say in relation to this magnificent work, that it has superseded every other that 
has been published on this important scientific subject. It has been well remarked of surgery, in con- 
tra-distinction to medicine, that whereas in the latter, from the very nature of maladies, hidden from 
the eye by the very position of their scene of development-id est, the internal body-the physician 
must often grope in the dark, to reach the enemy ; here, on the contrary, all is open, clear and mani- 
fest. Surgery is a science that has something positive and tangible about it, and since it is, in Velpeau's 
system of chirurgical art, presented on the broad basis of observation, and sustained on a philosophical 
plan, strictly conformable to the best axioms of anatomy, physiology and pathology, it becomes of a 
character which challenges the favor of every discriminating professor. 
" The name and reputation of this distinguished author leaves us little more than to welcome this 
masterly production into the literature of*our science; and to congratulate the profession that such a 
man still lives to adorn and illustrate its history. As a complete record of all the discoveries and new 
operations, this work will be the best book for the beginner, and a sure guide for the old and experi- 
enced surgeon. The American Appendix is a valuable addition to the work ; it contains the experience 
of our great American Surgeon, Dr. Mott, whose recorded labors, in addition to those of M. Velpeau, 
have brought Operative Surgery to its highest perfection up to the present time."-Mew Orleans 
Medical Journal. 
" A magnificent undertaking it is, redounding to the honor of the indefatigable translator, whose 
perseverance is creditable to the country. He has given to the profession of the United States, a 
grand'system, emanating from a source at once commanding the confidence and the respect of all 
who practise surgery. When the fact is known that this massive series of three octavos-another 
being in a state of preparation-are illustrated by over three hundred engravings incorporated with the 
text, accompanied by an atlas in quarto, of twenty-two plates, representing the principal operative pro- 
cesses, instruments, &.c.; it will be acknowledged that it embraces the entire domain of surgery, from 
alpha to omega, and must be considered as an unrivalled production."-Boston Med. Jour., Feb. 1846. 
" This work is beyond all comparison, the most thorough, systematic, and philosophical exposition 
of all that pertains to Operative Surgery, that has ever yet appeared. It has already served as the 
groundwork for numerous systems and manuals of more or less note; and it is destined to hold its 
present rank among the classical literature of the profession, and as a book of continual reference in 
the hands of practical surgeons, long after these systems and manuals have been forgotten. 
" Dr. Mott's contributions to this great work of M. Velpeau add much to its value as a book of refer- 
ence, and that in the whole circle of surgical literature, there is no one book which we can more 
heartily recommend than this, to both student and practitioner, for all that relates to Operative Sur- 
gery."-Mew York Journal of Med., March 1846.

the peculiar condition of Females in this country. 1 vol. 12mo. New York, 1845.

all."-London Lit. Gaz. 
Beauty: Illustrated chiefly by an Analysis and Classification of 
Beauty in Women. 1 vol. 12mo. New-York, 1845. 
"It is rather remarkable that an object of paramount interest and importance in the eyes of man, 
such as the female form is, should never have been treated philosophically and physiologically. No 
one, until now, has investigated the principles of beauty in the form of woman, in reference to its uses 
as an organic structure, and with a view to its influence on the individual and society. To Alexander 
Walker belongs the merit of being the first to demonstrate, that beauty in woman is the outward visi- 
ble denotement of sound structure and organic fitness ; and of attempting its analysis and classification 
on physiological principles, with reference to its perpetuation in posterity. The concluding chapter 
furnishes a clue to the observation of form in woman, through the concealment of drapery and the aids 
of dress."-London Spectator.

admirable summary of general and special pathology, and of the application of therapeutics to diseases,

simplicity."-JV. Y. Jour, of Medicine, be.

MOTT'S VELPEAU'S OPERATIVE SURGERY. 
NEW ELEMENTS OF OPERATIVE SURGERY. 
BY PROFESSOR A. L. M. VELPEAU. 
COMPLETE IN THREE VOLUMES., OCTAVO. 
Carefully revised, entirely remodelled, and augmented with a Treatise on Minor Surgery, 
including several hundred pages of new matter, comprising all the latest improvements 
and discoveries in Surgery in America and Europe up to the present time: the whole in- 
corporated with nearly 300 illustrated plates. Translated from the recent improved Paris 
Edition, 
BY P. S. TOWNSEND, M.D. 
Under the supervision of, and with a prefatory notice, &c., 
BY VALENTINE MOTT, M.D, 
Professor of Surgery in the University of New- York, ire. 
ACCOMPANIED BY A QUARTO VOLUME OF PLATES. 
3 vols. 8vo., each containing over 1000 pages, and illustrated with engravings 
PRICE FOR THE WHOLE WORK, TEN DOLLARS. 
The above work comprises the latest advantages of the present advanced state of Surgical Art, and in- 
cludes the rich experience of the eminent Professor under whose editorial revision the work has passed. 
It is believed it will be found the most valuable contiibution to medical science which has yet appeared. 
The First and Second volumes are now ready ; and the Third will be published early in the ensuing Au- 
tumn, accompanied by an Atlas in quarto, containing twenty-two finely engraved plates, by Endicott. 
Among the large additions of new matter, may be mentioned, a chapter of 100 pages, consigned by Dr. 
Mott to the special consideration of the important subject of Aneurisms, embracing all his operations 
therein, and his latest views, &c. 
Another distinct chapter of Dr. Mott is that on Exsections, with all his operations likewise in this de- 
partment." These two chapters alone, and the operations of Dr. Mott in these and other departments of 
Surgery, furnishing a connected account, under his own hand, of all the great operations of this eminent 
surgeon, all of which will be found (the greater part in this volume, and the remainder in the next) in 
their appropriate place, give it an intrinsic value, which every student and practitioner will know how to 
appreciate. 
Extracts from ilje Preface, 
" We consider that this vein of rich, nnd much of it new historical contributions in Surgery, and which 
so steadily courses or threads its way through the pages of the work, constitutes as it were the natural 
roof upon which the whole superstructure is woven, and thus forms to it a substratum of inappreciable 
value. Because it not only shows what has been done, and what has stood and still stands the test of 
time, and will doubtless continue to be approved of and recognised as of established utility; but it points 
out also as dangerous, if not forbidden paths to future explorers, those fruitless speculationsand experiments 
that are to be avoided as not only a destructive waste of time to the student, but as exposing his mind to 
be seduced by visionary pursuits, and thereby into researches which will be liable to end in the repetition 
of similar abortive results. 70

" Another advantage that we acquire, by having always thus at hand, in the course of our endeavours, 
to add some new improvements to surgical science, an exact transcript of what others have done before 
us, and of what has failed and what succeeded, and why and wherefore such have been the results, is 
this, that we are so much the better enabled, as before observed, to economize our time, to husband our 
resources, and to concentrate the full force of our investigations upon tire point or points which it is desir- 
able to elucidate."-.American Preface, Vol. I. 
" We confess that it is with pride we present this work to the Profession ; not so much, perhaps, from 
any pretensions we might make, in respect to the exactness and fidelity of the translation, or the composi- 
tion and substance of the vast amount of new matter superadded, as from the conscious conviction we 
feel that there can be found nowhere, in any language, a surgical work so thoroughly complete, nnd so 
judiciously classified in (as lias already been said in the preface to the First Volume) the abundant and 
highly interesting and invaluable details which it comprehends, of surgical processes and discoveries, and 
surgical anatomy and relations, traced down with astonishing erudition and acute discrimination, by the 
learned author, Professor Velpeau, from the earliest epochs to the present day. 
" Though our labour has been one of a mechanical kind, demanding untiring assiduity and industry, 
rather than any originality of mind or invention, we must be permitted to say, that, with the contiibulions 
which have been engrafted upon this American edition, and Translation, ami which have been furnished 
as well by Professor Velpeau himself, as by Dr. Mott and the writer of this Preface; the student, especially, 
cannot fail to find herein an inexhaustible arsenal or armory, systematically arranged in every department, 
for almost every thing he may desire, that is truly valuable or worthy of preservation, in the great and 
controlling domain (now monopolizing almost the entire healing art) of Practical, Operative, and Patho- 
logical and Anatomical Surgery."-American Preface, Vol. II. 
Notices of tlje Press. 
" It is sufficient to say, in relation to this magnificent work, that it has superseded every other that has 
been published on this important scientific subject. It has been well remarked of surgery, in contra dis- 
tinction to medicine, that whereas in the latter, from the very nature of maladies, hidden from the eye by 
the very position of their scene of development-id est, the internal body-the physician must often grope 
in the dark, to reach the enemy ; here, on the contrary, all is open, clear and manifest. Surgery is a science 
that has something positive and tangible about it, and since it is, in Velpeau's system of chirurgical art, 
presented on the broad basis of observation, and sustained on a philosophical plan, strictly conformable 
to the best axioms of anatomy, physiology and pathology, it becomes of a character which challenges the 
favour of every discriminating professor. 
" The name and reputation of this distinguished author leaves us little more than to welcome this mas- 
terly production into the literature of our science; and to congratulate the profession that such a man still 
lives to adorn and illustrate its history. As a complete record of all the discoveries and new operations, 
this work will be the best book for the beginner, and a sure guide for the old and experienced sui geon. 
The American Appendix is a valuable addition to the work ; it contains the experience of our great Ame- 
rican surgeon, Dr. Mott, whose recorded labours, in addition tn those of M. Velpeau, have brought Opera- 
tive Surgery to its highest perfection up to the present time."-New Orleans Medical Journal. 
" A magnificent undertaking it is, redounding to the honour of the indefatigable translator, whose perse- 
verance is creditable to the country. He has given to the profession of the United States, a grand system, 
emanating from a source at once commanding the confidence and the respect of all who practise surgery. 
When the fact is known that this massive series of three octavos-another being in a state of preparation 
-are illustrated by over three hundred engravings incorporated with the text, accompanied by an atlas in 
quarto, of twenty-two plates, representing the principal operative processes, instruments, &c.; it will be 
acknowledged that it embraces the entire domain of surgery, from alpha to omega, and must be considered 
as an unrivalled production."-Boston Medical Journal, February, 1846. 
" This work is beyond all comparison, the most thorough, systematic, and philosophical exposition of all 
that pertains to Operative Surgery, that has ever yet appeared. It has already served as the groundwork 
for numerous systems and manuals of more or less note ; and it is destined to bold its present rank among 
the classical literature of the profession, and as a book of continual reference in the hands of practical 
surgeons, long after these systems and manuals have been forgotten. 
" Dr. Mott's contributions to this great work of M. Velpeau add much to its value as a book of refer- 
ence, and that in the whole circle of surgical literature, there is no one book which we can more heartily 
recommend than this, to both student and practitioner, for all that relates to Operative Surgery."-New 
York Journal of Medicine, March, 1846. 
" A work coming from so distinguished a Surgeon as M. Velpeau, and which has everywhere been re- 
ceived as the great modern text-book on Surgery, and the only one of magnitude, in which all its princi- 
ples and processes have been philosophically classified and clearly delineated, carries upon the face of it, 
its own recommendation. 
" And when superadded to this, we have it presented to us in a faithful and able translation, and with 
(in this volume alone) near five hundred pages of entirely new matter, brought down to the present mo- 
ment, and prepared and arranged by persons so well fitted to the task as Dre. Mott and Townsend, we 
think we may, in anticipation, pronounce without fear of disappointment, that the contents of these volumes 
will be found to possess all that could possibly be desired by those who wish to study a complete treatise 
upon Surgery, advanced to the high position this great science now occupies, from the brilliant discoveries 
and improvements which have given it such extended fame over the world during the last thirty or forty 
years."-N. F. Morning News. 
" The Translation is admirable, and cannot fail to give entire satisfaction to medical men here, who 
must ever remain indebted to Dr. Townsend for rendering available to them the results of the surprising 
learning and almost unequalled experience of the great Surgeon of ' La Charite,' whose astonishing men- 
tal powers and truly wonderful memory have obtained for him in his own country the appellation of the 
1 Walking Cyclopa>dia.' This is unquestionably the master work on Surgery of the present day; and we 
doubt not that it will be viewed as such by the profession. We feel assured that no physician will hence- 
forth consider his library complete without it. It has already been adopted by some, and will, ere long, 
be chosen by most of our medical colleges as their 'text-book ' on Surgery."-N. Y. Courier 4- Enquirer. 8 Astor House, New York.

" Of all the works that have ever been published on General and Operative Surgery, this, by the great 
master Surgeon of Paris, must universally be admitted to be the most complete and perfect; we know of 
no other that can compete with it. Boyer's voluminous and admirable treatise, has been considered in 
France as the standard authority, up to the period of the publication of the first edition of that which we 
are now noticing. So many changes, however, had occuned, and so many improvements had been in- 
troduced into the science, since the time when Boyer wrote, that a new work seemed absolutely required. 
M. Velpeau undertook the charge of furnishing it, and the manner in which he executed the task gave uni- 
versal satisfaction. His ' Medicine Operatoire ' is adopted in many foreign schools as a text book, and it 
is justly held by the profession to be an almost perfect compendium of Surgery. 
" The Physician and Student who will take the trouble to examine it, will find that this is no partial or 
national system of Surgery ; the great learning of the author, his unwearied industry and perseverance, 
have enabled him to collect together all the important facts connected with Surgery, that were scattered 
through the pages of the various ancient and modern authors, in all languages; and it will be seen by the 
innumerable references to, and quotations from them, that almost all known Medical Journals have been 
carefully examined, and every thing of real value and importance extracted from them. We are enabled 
to state from personal knowledge, that M. Velpeau has long had competent assistants employed in collecting 
materials for this, which he was determined should be his ' great work '-one on which lie would be 
willing to rest his claims for present and future fame ; the fabric is fully completed, and must ever remain 
a lasting monument to his industry and talent."-A". Y. Evening Post.

base, of every kind of cross-piece, that we may raise or remove 
them without being obliged to disturb the rest of the dressing. 
[Common wire, says Dr. Mott, makes an excellent cerceau. Take 
three or four pieces, and bend them into semicircular arcs, and 
then fasten them at the base with a piece on each side running 
horizontally ; and this makes a light and capital cradle in a few 
minutes.-T.~\ 
CHAPTER VIII. 
BANDAGES. 
It would be quite difficult in the present day to give a definition 
of the term bandage. We indifferently use, in fact, the words ban- 
dage and appareil to designate the same thing. It, however, seems 
to me that we ought, by the word appareil, rather to understand the 
ensemble of the articles which we may have occasion for in the 
dressing, while bandage should be applied to the containing pieces 
only, or to all the portions of the dressing, after their definitive ad- 
justment. 
However this may be, the bandages are intended to fasten, and 
retain in their place, the different portions of the dressing, or of the 
diseased part. Moreover, bandages have been divided by surgeons 
almost to infinity, according to the purpose for which they are to be 
used, or the form or figure they present. There are those which, 
fulfilling every indication, are applied in every case, and merit the 
name of general bandages. Others, having been rather designed 
for certain parts or regions, should take the name of special ban- 
dages. 
ArticlIi I.-General Bandages. 
We find, in works that treat of this matter, uniting, preservative, 
dividing, expulsive, compressing, retaining, (retentifs,) suspensory, 
and containing (contentifs) bandages; but it is evident that a great 
number of bandages may serve, at the same time, for all these in- 
dications. There are none of them, for example, which may not be 
preservative and have other qualities at the same time. 
The uniting (unissant) bandage, which is intended for approx- 
imating divided parts ; the dividing, (divisif,) which is for keeping 
them separate ; the retaining, (retentif,) for restraining their protru- 
sion ; the expulsive, (expulsif,) which is intended to expel them; all 
exercise, at the same time, a certain degree of compression, and, 
therefore, come, more or less, under the compressing (compressif) 
bandage. 
The suspensory, (suspensif,) the object of which is to give gentle 
support to parts that are naturally pendent, is moreover preserva- 
tive, {preservatif^ and containing, (contentif.) This last, intended to 138 
NEW ELEMENTS OF OPERATIVE SURGERY. 
fasten the other pieces of the dressing, is found equally comprised 
in all the others. It differs from the compressing bandage, how- 
ever, in this, that it has no other use than to prevent the displace- 
ment of the parts. All these bandages may be made out of bands, 
(ba odes.) from which, in fact, they receive their name. Some of 
them may be made with simple pieces of linen compresses, while 
there are others in whose construction enter ribands, tapes, (des lacs,) 
or twine, (des cordes.) Certain bandages, such, for example, as are 
employed for containing hernia, include also other substances, such 
as steel springs, pieces of leather, gum-elastic, or caoutchouc, &c. 
In fact, the ancients had so multiplied the number of bandages, that 
they created confusion, while we seem to have fallen into the 
opposite extreme. If it is true, that it is useless to have fifty spe- 
cies of bandages for the head alone, as in the time of Galen, it is 
no less certain, that the pupil who knows how to make useful ban- 
dages properly, dresses better and quicker, and is more serviceable 
to patients, than he who acts without rule and without principles. 
In the application of the dressing, we must not sacrifice the use- 
ful to the agreeable ; but, if it be possible to give some elegance 
to the bandage, while we have made it at the same time better, 
why should we not do so I If it belongs to the surgeon to manipu- 
late the objects which he uses with more address than the world in 
general, why should he not seek to distinguish himself also from the 
vulgar in the matter of dressings? 
§ I.-Containing Bandage. 
In more general use than any other, the containing bandage is 
employed everywhere. Applied around wounds, its intention is a 
very moderate compression, which has no other object than to fix 
the compresses, lint, &c., in their place, while it renders them im- 
moveable. This bandage sometimes represents a spiral around the 
limb, (Fig. 74,) and sometimes lozenge-shaped folds, (Losanges,) or a 
[Fig. 74. 
double spiral crossed, (Fig. 75,) as the ancients often made it; 
sometimes a true roller bandage. 
It is the containing bandage that we apply after luxations: al- 
most all hernia bandages are of this description ; we may say the 
same of certain pessaries supported in the vagina, and of some pe- 
lotes that are kept in the anus. Much of the dressings of fractures 
are also containing bandages. There is scarcely, properly speak- BANDAGES. 
139 
ing, any other in surgery but the containing and compressing ban- 
dage. 
(Fig. 75.) 
§ II.-Compressing Bandage. 
We apply the term compressing to a bandage, as often as, in ad- 
dition to its constraining qualities, it is intended so to act upon some 
points of the diseased region as to cause pressure upon it, and ap- 
proximate some of its tissues. This bandage comprises the simple 
compressing bandage, the expulsory, the retaining, the uniting, 
and the dividing bandage. By it, we effect on the circumference 
of the limb, a pressure sometimes circumscribed, sometimes dif- 
fused, often partial, and occasionally general. 
When the pressure is exercised only upon a circle of the part, it 
takes the name of strangulation, (etrang lenient,} or ligature. Com- 
pression, in fine, has for its general object, to force the fluids into the 
interior-to moderate their afflux to the part-to flatten and re- 
press vegetations and tumors, and to bring into contact parts that 
have a tendency to separate-to destroy morbid growths from 
openings or dependent parts where they tend to accumulate-to 
restrict others of them to the cavities where we have confined 
them-to arrest or suspend the circulation in certain vascular 
trunks, and to cause mortification by producing an eschar upon some 
point of the skin. But the compressing bandage may, like the con- 
taining, assume an infinity of different forms. Hence we employ 
it under the form of a circular, roller, crossed, (croise^) or recur- 
rent bandage, that of a T bandage, or cruciform, (bandage en croix,) 
suspensory, sling-shaped, (fronde,) or special bandage. 
§ III.-Circular Bandage. 
If, with a bandage of greater or less 
width, we make several circular (Fig. 
76) turns around any part whatever, 
so as to give it the appearance of a 
collar, as is sometimes done at the 
wrist, arm, bottom of the leg, and un- 
der the knee, at the inferior part of 
the thigh, and at the elbow, whether 
for the dressing of certain wounds, 
blisters, or cauteries, the bandage takes 
the title of circular bandage ; it is with 
this also that we begin a great number of other bandages; but it 
then soon loses its primitive name. 
(Fig. 76.) 140 
NEW ELEMENTS OF OPERATIVE SURGERY. 
The circular bandage alone is suitable to all regions that are 
throat-shaped, (en forme de gorge]) that is to say, to all parts of the 
body that increase in size above and below the region which we 
wish to dress. For the purpose of a compressing bandage, it is 
scarcely suitable to any part, seeing that its action may be so 
quickly changed into that of strangulation; in that case, it would 
be necessary to associate the roller bandage with it. 
§ IV.-Roller Bandage. 
The most common of all bandages, the roller bandage, is, in 
respect to dressings, in some sort what the bistoury is to operative 
surgery; therefore I shall describe it with more detail than any of 
the others. 
By roller bandage, (pondage rouh'p we mean a series of turns of 
bandage which lap over each other by the half or two-thirds [their 
breadth,] and which, in their ensemble, constitute a sort of stocking, 
or gaiter. 
This bandage answers all kinds of indications; often it is only 
containing, at other times uniting, and it may equally be dividing, 
expulsory, or retaining; but the purpose which it best fulfils is 
compression. 
To be enabled to apply the roller bandage well, it is necessary 
that we should have been much practised in the expert use of 
bandages. 
A.-Rules which should govern in the application of Bandages in 
general. 
The bandage rolled into a cylinder, (globe,*) and the only one almost 
in use at present, should be held in the hand by the two extremities 
of its axis. Its end, that is, its head, which is free-and which we 
often find in hospitals, by a reprehensible custom, fastened with 
several pins to the other part of the roll-should be applied by its 
outer surface on the point opposite to that on which the wound is 
situated. While the fingers or thumb of the left hand retain this 
head in its place, the right hand draws moderately upon the rolled 
head to unroll it while traversing the circumference of the limb. 
To prevent the free head of the bandage from slipping, or being 
displaced, it is well to fasten it by two or three circular turns, or, 
what appears to me better, to fold it back on the first turn, in order 
to cover it by the second, that we may afterwards have no more 
trouble with it. In continuing to unroll the rolled head of the ban- 
dage, we must take care to hold it as little distant from the surface 
as possible, and never to unroll more of it at one time than is re- 
quired for half a turn. 
* Though the term globe may be specific enough in French, it is, in our language, too 
constantly and intimately associated with the mathematical idea of sphericity, to be used 
in English for the true cylindrical shape of a roller bandage.- T. ' BANDAGES. 
141 
We proceed in this manner until the cylinder in the hand is ex- 
hausted, and that the central head becomes free. Then we have 
only to fasten that, and it is ordinarily by means of pins that the 
operation is terminated. 
In this respect, we may adopt three modes: 1. With a single pin 
on the middle of the length of this edge, we attach it to the subja- 
cent turns ; in this case, the pin should always have the head turned 
toward the free side of the edge; otherwise it would constantly 
tend to be displaced, and its point would soon become entirely 
detached before the next dressing. 2. If the bandage has more 
than two fingers' width, the edge of its free extremity being fastened 
only at the middle part, soon 
turns up at the angles, and 
gives it a disagreeable look. 
It is better, therefore, to place 
a pin near each extremity of 
this edge, (Fig. 77,) or still bet- 
ter, after doubling in its two 
corners, so as to shape it into a 
triangle, to fasten on the point 
(Fig.7S) as in the first case. 
3. Some persons prefer attaching two strings to the end of the 
bandage, with a view of fastening 
this latter by a bow knot, in the 
manner of ribands. When the band- 
age is narrow, like that, for exam- 
ple, which is used for the fingers, it 
is easy, by slitting its free extremity 
to the extent of four to six inches, to 
convert it into two strips, which will 
answer for ribands, and which we 
must take care to cross under each 
other, (Fig. 79,) before tying them. 
4. The student also should not forget, that in placing the pins 
crosswise, (Fig. 80,) or the head turned towards the middle of the 
bandage, (Fig. 81,) he proves 
that he has never studied 
the art of bandaging. 
In unrolling a bandage, 
we make-1. Circular turns, 
when the turns are placed 
directly over each other; 2. 
Portions of a spiral, when, 
acting on a conical part, we proceed from one end to the other of 
the surface of the limb, by making all the points of the outer surface 
of the bandage bear perpendicularly upon the limb; 3. These 
turns, which are also called oblique, and by means of which we 
form crossed (croises) bandages, take the title of doloires when they 
lap by a third, two-thirds, or a half [of their width.] 
To make the manner of applying the roller bandage understood, 
(Fig. 77.) (Fig. 78.)

NEW ELEMENTS OF OPERATIVE SURGERY. 
I will suppose that we are treating the lower extremity. We must 
procure a bandage of the proper length, rolled into a cylinder, three 
fingers wide, dry or wet, according to the indication, and begin by 
surrounding the foot with it. If the surgeon is accompanied by 
assistants, one of them holds the heel fast with one of his hands, 
and the digital extremity of the foot with the other, while a second 
assistant, placed near the pelvis of the patient, supports the ham, 
or lower part of the thigh, so that the whole leg is sufficiently 
raised to permit the different turns of the bandage to be freely 
passed around it. If we are deficient in assistants, it is necessary 
that the heel of the patient should be supported upon the knee of 
the surgeon, on the edge of a chair, or some other insulated prop. 
These precautions being taken, we throw the free head of the 
bandage upon one of the malleoli, the external malleolus if it 
is the right limb, on the internal, on the contrary, if it is the 
left, on the supposition, meanwhile, that the surgeon uses his right 
hand better than his left. Arrested upon this point by the left hand, 
the bandage is passed by its free surface upon the dorsum, the 
inner edge and sole of the foot, and brought to the root of the little 
toe. We then make a first turn ; then a second, which covers two- 
thirds of the first; then a third and fourth, following the same 
rules, till we approach the instep. There the bandage is carried 
back by the inner side, and passed by the outer side around the 
lower part of the leg, on a level with, or a little above the ankles, 
so that the turns upon the foot resemble the figure of 8 in their 
connection with those of the leg. 
Here difficulties present, which practice alone enables us to 
surmount. The malleoli and the heel form three projections, 
separated by unequal depressions. If the roller bandage is to be 
purely a containing one, we can proceed without any real incon- 
venience ; but however little may be the compression it exercises, 
these parts are to be covered by it uniformly; the best means, then, 
is to employ a glutinous bandage, (bande collee)-(Vid. supra.) In 
this case we always unroll the bandage perpendicularly to the sur- 
faces ; and the reverses (renverses) that we are obliged to make to 
change its direction having no longer a tendency to slip, we are 
thus not compelled to leave any vacant space, but cover every 
point of the entire region without difficulty. 
Supposing that we do not wish to have recourse to the linen satu- 
rated with glue, we must fasten the bandage, in proportion as we 
unroll it, to the turns over which it laps, and that by using pins at 
each circular turn where we wish to change the direction. 
There is also here a difficulty of which young surgeons should be 
advised ; it is, that the instep, from the metatarsus to the base of 
the malleoli, represents a sort of neck, which necessarily requires 
a great number of turns, (doloires,) and which, being the point of 
departure to a great number of compressing radii, seems to accu- 
mulate upon it a more considerable share of pressure than any 
other part in the neighborhood. Hence it is there that patients 
chiefly feel the pain ; that phlyctaen®, sores, (escarres,) and gan- BANDAGES.

grene form, if the bandage has not been properly applied. It is 
necessary, therefore, to be careful that we press as little as possible 
on this spot, and to endeavor not to concentrate upon it the differ- 
ent turns of the bandage that are to envelop the heel. It is a point 
of practice on which I cannot too much insist, so often has it hap- 
pened to me to see it neglected by pupils, even by those who have 
been the best instructed. 
Reverses, (renverses.) Before arriving at the instep, and espe- 
cially in order to continue the bandage in the direction of the leg, 
we are obliged to make reverses, (Fig. 82.) In the act of bandaging, 
(Fig. 82.) 
they give the name of renverses to a fold which makes the upper 
edge of the bandage become the lower, and its outer surface, the 
inner one. To render them as little inconvenient as possible, these 
reverses should be abrupt, that the oblique edge they make may 
not be much longer than the width of the bandage ; otherwise, it 
would represent a species of cord, which would wound the parts by 
rendering the compression unequal. To make these folds, whether 
from above downward, or from below upward, according to the 
place where we apply them, the surgeon pins the last point of the 
bandage that has been unrolled, to the surface of the limb, while 
with the other hand, which has not separated the cylinder but to 
very little extent from the bandage, he turns it suddenly upon 
itself, without drawing upon it, and as if to cross its two edges. 
That being done, he continues to unrol it, until he comes back to 
the same point, following the rules above indicated, so as to repeat 
the same manipulations a certain number of times, if the form of 
the limb requires it. 
These reverses are everywhere indispensable where the parts 
contract in the form of a cone. In fact, whether it be at the foot, 
leg, or fore-arm. the parts enlarging, from the inferior extremity 
towards the upper portion, render it necessary, in order to bear per- 144 
NEW ELEMENTS OF OPERATIVE SURGERY. 
pendicularly on all the points of their surface, that the turns of the 
bandage should be made to stretch out in a spiral manner. To ob- 
tain, then, a regular roller bandage, it is necessary, in these regions, 
that the upper turn, which otherwise would fly off in a diagonal di- 
rection, should be brought back by a fold, made as quickly as possi- 
ble, to the inferior turn, which latter is to remain in a circular posi- 
tion, if we desire that it should be in part lapped over by the other. 
Puckers, (godets.) The pupil who, in a case like this, fails in 
making reverses, produces what are called 
puckers, (des godets-Fig. 83 ;) that is to say 
the bandage, applied circularly, does not then 
bear or press but by one of its edges, while 
the other edge flares out, and remains open, 
and tends to be displaced. These puckers not 
only take away from the bandage every thing 
that it might possess of elegance, but they 
also cause the limb to be strictured from 
space to space, and the dressing to become 
displaced from the moment of its application. 
Thus, to arrive at the roots of the little toes 
on the instep, it is absolutely necessary to 
make three or four reverses. From the mal- 
leolus to the lower part of the calf these re- 
verses may not be necessary, but thence to 
some fingers' width below the tubercle of 
the tibia they are absolutely 
necessary and require extreme 
care. In approaching the knee, the limb, becoming 
cylindrical, or rather somewhat contracted, does not 
exact the same precautions. To give some elegance 
to this arrangement, we endeavor to place the re- 
verses on the same line, on the anterior surface of 
the limb, for example, from the small toes to the 
knee; there results from this a crossed appearance, 
which gives the bandage some resemblance to the 
ancient buskin, (cothume-Fig. 84,) or to the stalk 
of an ear of wheat. 
Nevertheless, we must guard against making un- 
equal pressure on any part, merely for the purpose 
of giving greater regularity to the dressing. As the 
cylindrical or conical form of the part is not the 
same in every individual, it would be manifestly in- 
jurious to wish to submit the application of the 
roller bandage to rules too precise. The law 
which ought, above all other things, to govern the 
surgeon in such a case is, that the plane of the ban- 
dage should always press perpendicularly upon the 
skin ; add to this, that the compression should every- 
where be equal; that there may be no void between 
the turns of the bandage; that these turns lap over

NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 
" In Dr. Ranking's ' Abstract ' there is more of Science, more method and arrangement of the materials 
than in Braithwaite's Retrospect, and its value is greatly enhanced by the admirable series of Reports 
with which it concludes. It affords a view of the progress of the Science as well as of the Art; and, 
while not deficient in practical information, has claims also on the attention of the scientific physician and 
surgeon, and the cultivator of medicine in all its branches."-Edinburgh Provincial Medical Journal. 
" The second volume of this most excellent ' Abstract of the Medical Sciences ' fully sustains the high 
reputation of the first, and establishes its character ns one of the most, if not the most, practically useful 
work of the day. We certainly know of none which, in point of interest and practical utility to the great 
mass of the profession, can compare with it, and such it is admitted to be by all who have examined its 
pages. 
Those who read ' Ranking's Abstract,' will become informed of every discovery and improvement made 
in every department of medicine, surgery, and kindred sciences, and in all countries, up to the time of its 
publication, and this information can be gathered from no other single work extant. The critical reports 
alone are worth ten times the cost of the work, being prepared by some of the ablest writers in the pro- 
fession. In the present volume, for example, we have an elaborate report on the progress of practical 
medicine, pathology, and therapeutics, during the preceding six months, by the editor, (29 pages ;) a report 
on the progress of Surgery, by H. Ancell, Esq., (42 pages ;) a report on the progress of Midwifery and the 
diseases of women and children, by the editor, (14 pages;) report on the progress of anatomy and phy- 
siology, (19 pages;) reporton the progress of physiological and pathological chemistry, by George Day, 
M.D., (37 pages;) report on the progress of forensic medicine and toxicology, by W, H. Guy, (23 pages;) 
report on the progress of materia medica and pharmacy, (19 pages.) To all this, we have prefixed a com- 
plete abstract of what is contained in the medical journals of all countries, and a record of all works on 
medicine and the collateral sciences that have appeared since the issuing of the preceding volume."-

CAZENAVE AND SCHEDEL ON THE SKIN. 
Manual of the Diseases of the Skin. From the French of MM. Cazenave and Schedel; with 
Notes and Additions, by T. H. Burgess, M.D. Revised and corrected, with additional 
notes, by H. D. Bulkley, M.D., Lecturer on the Diseases of the Skin, &c., &c. 1 vol. 
12mo. Price §1 25. 
" This is an extremely useful work, and one which we can safely recommend both to students and me- 
dical practitioners."-Johnson's Medical Review. 
" The translation is well and faithfully executed, and the additional matter supplied by Dr. Burgess in- 
creases considerably its utility."-Forbes' Med. Review. 
The above work of Cazenave and Schedel. is a translation from the third French edition, by Dr. 
Burgess, of London, to which many valuable notes have been added by Br. Bulkley, of New-York. The 
book has been twice before presented to the American public, and ranks as an established favourite. 
It embodies the results of the long experience and accurate observations of the late celebrated Biett, of the 
Hospital of St. Louis, and combines according to the capable judgment of the annotator, faithful and gra- 
phic descriptions of the diseases, and sound principles for their treatment. This opinion from one who has 
long made the study of cutaneous diseases a speciality, well known among us to possess a knowledge of 
the subject, vastly superior to that of any of his cont< mporaries, coupled with the fact that it was selected 
by him for republication in preference to others, the newer work of Gilbert, inter alias, is a sufficient 
guarantee for its excellence. The diseases are arranged in a clear and methodical manner, the style is 
simple and concise, and so completely have the different subjects been treated of, that little in the way of 
addition remained to the translator, except that of an article on glanders and farcy, omitted in the 
original, and the embodiment of a few practical facts worthy of notice, in the form of notes. The^e 
the editor of the present volume has increased by numerous additions, chiefly relating to the treatment of 
cutanei, which in the original is, it must be confessed, noticed in rather a general and cursory manner. The 
latter has also corrected some errors, which had doubtless escaped Dr. Burgess'observation, and restored 
several passages of the original, which he had thought proper to omit. Thus is formed a very neatly 
printed, portable and complete " Manual of Diseases of the Skin," than which no other is probably more 
worthy of the notice of the student as a companion to some more elaborate treatise on the subject."-Mew 
York Journal of Medicine, Jan. 1846. 
HOOPER'S EXAMINATIONS. 
Examinations in Anatomy, Physiology, Practice of Physic, Surgery, Chemistry, Materia 
Medica, and Pharmacy, for the use of Students, by Robert Hooper, M.D. New edition, 
revised and enlarged. 1 vol. 32mo. Price 50 cents. 
The high estimatioa in which Hooper's Manual of Examinations is held by the members of the Medical 
Profession, as well as students; the fact of its being entirely out of print; and the daily inquiries made for 
it, have induced the Publishers to offer a new American edition of this valuable work. It is a correct re- 
print of the latest English edition, with such additions and corrections, as were deemed necessary to render 
it as complete as the size of the volume would admit. 
YOUNG STETHOSCOPIST. 
The Young Stethoscopist; or, the Student's Aid to Auscultation. By Henry J. Bowditch, 
M.D. 1 vol. 18mo. Price $1 00. 
Each division of the book is complete in itself, and is written so plainly, that the student, for whom the 
treatise is ostensibly prepared, cannot mistake the author's directions. First, the mode of making inspec- 
tion is minutely described ; then follows palpation; mensuration: auscultation of respiration; ausculta- 
tion of the voice; rales; percussion; physical signs of laryngeal diseases; physical signs of bronchitis; 
of pneumonia; of pleurisy ; of phthisis; pneumonia; gangrene of the lungs; emphysema of the lungs; 
pulmonary apoplexy ; dilated bronchi; oedema of the lungs and coughs, having no physical signs. Next, 
there follows physical signs relating to the circulatory organs. Without attempting a further elucidation 
of the plan of this admirable assistant, which is called " The Young Stethoscopist; or, the Student's Aid 
to Auscultation," we cheerfully recommend it, not only to those for whom it is expressly designed, but 
to their seniors also, being convinced that whoever studies its precepts would be a wiser practitioner than 
he was before."-Boston Med. and Surg. Journal.

Of the London, Edinburg, and Dublin Colleges of Physicians ; being a practical Compendium 
of Materia Medica and Pharmacy. First American, from the thirteenth London edition, 
with extensive additions, from the recent works on Materia Medica. Edited by Dr. C. 
'A. Lee. 
This edition has been greatly enlarged by extended remarks on the uses and applications of Medicines, 
with notices of all the new remedies lately introduced into Medicine, and referred to in the works of Ma- 
gendie, Dunglison, Wood, Bache, and Pereira, and the Philadelphia Journal of Pharmacy. The appendix 
on Poisons has been also enlarged, and will be found to include all articles likely to be employed as such, 
together with their Symptoms, Morbid Appearances, Tests and Treatment. The Appendix also contains 
Tables on Chemical Analysis,-The Art of Prescribing Medicines,-Forms of Prescriptions,-Select For- 
multe for Infants,-Dietetic Preparations,-Alcoholic Strength of Wines,-Weights and Measures,-Com- 
position of all the celebrated Mineral Waters, &c., &c. 
The above work is very highly recommended by Dr. Valentine Mott, J. B. Beck, Draper, Augustine 
Smith, Torrey, and many other distinguished members of the Faculty. 
" This celebrated and invaluable Manual for the Physician and Student, incorporates an immense 
amount of new and important matter, comprising the new remedies of Pereira and all other recently accre- 
dited writers in Materia Medica. The American edition has been endorsed by the most flattering opinions 
of the leading members of the Faculty in this city as well as elsewhere; and as a mark of peculiar esteem 
for the editorial services which Dr. Charles A. Lee has rendered it, we quote the following from a letter 
received by the Professor from the distinguished Dr. Jonathan Pereira:- 
" * I received your American edition of Thompson's Conspectus,-it is very nicely got up, and the addi- 
tions you have made to it I think highly judicious and proper. In fact, the American edition is very greatly 
better than the English one in its getting up and information.' "-Dem. Rev. 
M. BILLARD ON INFANTILE DISEASES. 
New Edition, Improved. 1 vol. 8vo. Price S3. 
A TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF INFANTS, 
Founded on recent Clinical Observations and Investigations in Pathological Anatomy, made 
at the Hospice des Enfans Trouves ; with a Dissertation on the Viability of the Child. By 
C. M. Billard, Docteur en Medecine de la Faculte de Paris, &c., &c. With Notes, by 
Dr. Ollivier d'Angers. Translated from the third French edition, with notes, by James 
Stewart, M.D , late Physician to the New York Orphan Asylum, and one of the Consult- 
ing Physicians of the Northern Dispensary of the City of New York. pp. 650. 
The principal object of this work is to exhibit the peculiar character of the symptoms of infantile dis- 
eases, and to consider them in relation to the alterations which the organs have undergone. Each appa- 
ratus has passed successively in review, and the varieties of form and appearance of every organ have 
been studied by the Author, with reference to their healthy and pathological condition ; and no conclu- 
sions are drawn until the symptoms and the nature of the anatomical lesions have been duly considered. 
The Author's opportunity for pursuing the necessary investigations of the various subjects treated of in 
this work, may be learned from the circumstance of his occupying a station in the " Hospice des Enfans 
Trouvds," which enabled him, in one year alone, to examine the condition of 5,300 infants, and to extend 
his anatomical researches to nearly 700. 8 Astor House, New York.

submitted to a critical analysis. Their chemical properties are very clearly defined, in connexion with 
their alimentary principles. The nutritious power of bread, rice, potatoes, fish, meat, sugar, &c., &c., &c., 
are given, and the proper regimen for dyspeptics, for persons in delicate health, &c., are also stated in a 
clear and comprehensive manner. Tables of the food used in various London hospitals are also given, 
together with numerous other tables, highly useful to the physician and general reader.

•'The author of this very agreeable book has succeeded admirably in making a volume that will be 
read with deep interest by persons both within and without the pale of tile profession. Without claiming 
any thing on the score of originality of thought, Dr. Stewart is entitled to the praise of having collected

know of no substitute for it, and therefore recommend it strongly to our friends."-Bost. Med. Jour., Oct.

THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL WORKS 
OF ALEXANDER WALKER. 
New Complete Uniform Edition, in three volumes 12mo. with engravings. 
As an evidence of the great value of these popular writings on Physiological Science, it is 
sufficient to state that over thirty thousand copies of his several works have been sold since 
their first appearance in the United States. These works comprise a large amount of 
curious and valuable information, equally adapted for popular use and the advancement of 
science. Price $3. 
"If ever writer chose an attractive theme, Mr. Walker is certainly that writer. His volumes contain 
a vast fund of original, profound, acute, curious, and amusing observation, highly interesting to all."- 
London Literary Gazette. 
" A rich accession to our literature in every sense. The author comes to the performance of his work 
with qualifications of a high order, and has supported it with extensive philosophical research, and delight- 
ful attractions in illustrative anecdote."-Spectator.

tain Unions, and Deformity, Disease and Insanity from others. Illustrated by Drawings.

"We have read this work with great delight: the subject is treated in a masterly manner. To a com- 
plete knowledge of the scientific part of his subject, the author adds immense practical information, and 
an elegance of style rarely found in works of science."-London Athenaeum. 
PATHOLOGY, 
FOUNDED ON THE NATURAL SYSTEM OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. 
A Philosophical Sketch, in which the Natural Classification of Diseases and the distinction 
between Morbid and Curative Symptoms, afforded by pain or its absence, are pointed out, 
as well as the errors of Homoeopathy and other hypotheses. 1 vol. 12mo. Price 75 cents. 
Another work from the pen of this popular Physiologist, embracing a new order of subjects, though not 
the less interesting, as the title fully exhibits. To the many admirers of his former works, this new pro- 
duction cannot fail of receiving a cordial welcome. 
" While the preceding works of Mr. Walker may be valuable for being curious, this volume has a prac- 
tical utility. It applies the author's opinions and discoveries to the classification of diseases and explana- 
tion of symptoms; and points out the truths and errors, as Mr. Walker considers them, of the various 
medical hypothesis which have now, or have had their day. Some truth is even drawn from homoeopa- 
thy ; strong proof, we think, of the author's impartiality. His patient and thorough erudition is admitted; 
and though he is sometimes wearisome by repetition, he is honest to brother authors, and laboriously 
plain and intelligible. His works deserve all the attention they have received, and even more."-London

Assisted by numerous Collaborators throughout the Country. 
VOL. VI. COMMENCES WITH THE NUMBER FOR JANUARY, 1846. 
The New York Journal of Medicine and the Collateral Sciences established by the late Samuel Forrv, 
M.D., is about commencing the seventh volume, in the fourth year of its publication. It has constantly 
advanced in the confidence and support of the profession, until it is now placed upon a permanent found- 
ation, with the prospect of a long, and, we trust, prosperous career before it. 
Circulating as it does through every section of the Union, and taken by the entire Medical Staff of the 
United States Army, it furnishes a desirable medium of communication with the profession, and we would 
hope, not an unprofitable source of information to its readers. 
Since the commencement of the Journal, in July, 1843, its pages have contained contributions from the

TERMS. 
The New York Journal of Medicine is published bi-monthly-a form that possesses, undoubtedly, a de- 
cided advantageover the weekly as well as monthly journal, which, in consequence of their contracted 
limits can allow of the insertion of articles only in detached parts, thus impairing both their interest and 
value. Each No. contains 144 8vo. pages, and illustrated with numerous engravings.
