" We earnestly recommend this volume to the attention of all
persons. * • * It abounds witk interesting eases, which are
attested by tkepatients themselves ; who, under Mr. Vaa Butchell's
care, have been restored to health, when every ether treatment had
failed."—West Kent Guardian.

" This volume presents to us a number of illustrations of his sin-
gular success under circumstances that would have induced despair
in any Free:for of less mastery, or less accustomed to accomplish
cures where cures seem impossible. The statements hero made are
mist convincing, and place beyond doubt the superiority of the treat-
ment to which they refer."—Court Journal.
" The great surgical skill and attention of Mr. Tan Butohell to
certain complaints of a most painful nature are well known."—
Bell's Weekly Messenger.
" An excellent work on Fistula, &c. * * • It is
deserving the perusal of those persons who may unfortunately be
suffering under the disease on which it treats.".7—Age.
