THE WORK COVERS QUITE FTJLLY THE GENERAL FIELD OF GYNECOLOGICAL SURGERY,
AND IS ENRICHED BY MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS, WHICH
FROM A SCIENTIFIC AS WELL AS FROM AN ARTISTIC STANDPOINT ARE EQUALLED BY

THOSE OF NO OTHER WORK EXTANT, Expense and labour have not been spared in
the preparation of the drawings for the illustrations, or in their reproduction for
the books, of which, by their accuracy in detail and clearness in delineation, they
form a very important and valuable part. The work does not appeal to the
gynecological surgeon only, but is one which will be found of inestimable value to
the general practitioner and to the surgeon, whose practices bring them in contact
with gynecological cases. Dr. Kelly has had a long and successful career as a
gynecological surgeon, and his experience has fitted him pre-eminently for the
preparation of a work such as he has written.

KIMPTON'S POCKET MEDICAL LEXICON ; or,
Dictionary of Terms and Words used in Medicine and
Surgery. By JOHN M. KEATING, M.D., editor of "Cyclopaedia of Dis-
eases of Children," etc., author of the "New Pronouncing Dictionary of
Medicine"; and HENRY HAMILTON, author of "A New Translation of
Virgil's JEneid into English Verse"; co-author of a "New Pronouncing
Dictionary of Medicine." A new and revised edition. 32mo, 282 pages.
Price, cloth, 2s 6d net.

This new and comprehensive work of reference is the outcome of a demand for a

not containing the hundreds of new words now used in current literature,
especially those relating to Electricity and Bacteriology.

" Remarkably accurate in terminology, accentuation, and definition."—Journal
of American Medical Association.

"Brief, yet complete ... it contains the very latest nomenclature in even
the newest departments of medicine."—New York Medical Record.

Journal.

" For clearness of diction it is not excelled by any book of similar nature, and
by its system of captions and italics it is abundantly suited to the needs of the
medical student. THE BOOK is UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST MANUAL OF OBSTETRICS
EXTANT IN ENGLISH."—The Philadelphia Poly clinic.

" Prof. King's Manual has had a remarkably successful career, passing rapidly
from one edition to another. It is just such a work as the obstetrician turns to
in time of need with the assurance that he will in a moment refresh his memory
on the subject. A vast amount of knowledge is expressed in small space."—The
Ohio Medical Journal.

" This is undoubtedly the best manual of obstetrics. Six editions in thirteen
