LESSONS IN GYNECOLOGY.
By William Goodell, A.M., M.D., etc., Professor of Clinical Gynecology in the University of Pennsylvania.
This exceedingly valuable work, from one of the most eminent specialists and teachers in gynecology, embraces all the more important diseases and the principal operations in the field of gynecology, and brings to bear upon them all the extensive practical experience and wide reading of the author. It is an indispensable guide to every practitioner who has to do with the diseases peculiar to women. Third Edition. With 112 Illustrations. Thoroughly revised and greatly enlarged. Royal octavo, 578 pages.

It is too good a book to have been allowed to remain out of print, and it has unquestionably been missed. The author has revised the work with special care, adding to each lesson such fresh matter as the progress in the art rendered necessary, and he has enlarged it by the insertion of six new lessons.—Amer. Jour. of Obstet.
Extended mention of the contents of the book is unnecessary; suffice it to say that every important disease found in the female sex is taken up and discussed in a common-sense kind of a way. We wish every physician in America could read and carry out the suggestions of the chapter on “the sexual relations as causes of uterine disorders—conjugal onanism and kindred sins.” The department treating of nervous counterfeits of uterine diseases is a most valuable one.—Kansas City Medical Index.
