MEDICAL LEXICON; A Dictionary of Medical Science : Containing 

 a concise Explanation of the various Subjects and Terms of Anatomy, Physiology, Pathol- 

 ogy, Hygiene, Therapeutics, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Surgery, Obstetrics, Medical Juris- 

 prudence and Dentistry, Notices of Climate and of Mineral Waters, Formulae for Officinal, 

 Empirical and Dietetic Preparations, with the Accentuation and Etymology of the Terms, 

 and the French and other Synonymes, so as to constitute a French as well as an English 

 Medical Lexicon. Edited by RICHARD J. DUNGLISON, M. D. In one very large and 

 handsome royal octavo volume of 1139 pages. Cloth, $6.50 ; leather, raised bands, $7.50 ; 

 very handsome half Russia, raised bands, $8. 



The object of the author, from the outset, has not been to make the work a mere lexi- 

 con or dictionary of terms, but to afford under each word a condensed view of its various 

 medical relations, and thus to render the work an epitome of the existing condition of 

 medical science. Starting with this view, the immense demand which has existed for the 

 work has enabled him, in repeated revisions, to augment its completeness and usefulness, 

 until at length it has attained the position of a recognized and standard authority wherever 

 the language is spoken. Special pains have been taken in the preparation of the present 

 edition to maintain this enviable reputation. The additions to the vocabulary are more 

 numerous than in any previous revision, and particular attention has been bestowed on the 

 accentuation, which will be found marked on every word. The typographical arrangement 

 has been greatly improved, rendering reference much more easy, and every care has been 

 taken with the mechanical execution. The volume now contains the matter of at least 

 four ordinary octavos. 



passed away, probably all of us feared lest the book 

 should not maintain its place in the advancing 

 science whose terms it defines. Fortunately, Dr. 

 Richard J. Dunglison, having assisted his father in 

 the revision of several editions of the work, and 

 having been, therefore, trained in the methods 

 and imbued with the spirit of the book, has been 

 able to edit it as a work of the kind should be 

 edited to carry it on steadily, without jar or inter- 

 ruption, along the grooves of thought it has trav- 

 elled during its lifetime. To show the magnitude 

 of the task which Dr. Dunglison has assumed and 

 carried through, it is only necessary to state that 

 more than six thousand new subjects have been 

 added in the present edition. Philadelphia Medical 

 Times, Jan. 3, 1874. 



It has the rare merit that it certainly has no rival 

 in the English language for accuracy and extent of 

 references. London medical Gazette. 



About tne first book purchased by the medical 

 student is the Medical Dictionary. The lexicon 

 explanatory of technical terms is simply a sine qua 

 non. In a science so extensive and with such col- 

 laterals as medicine, it is as much a necessity also 

 to the practising physician. To meet the wants of 

 students and most physicians the dictionary must 

 be condensed while comprehensive, and practical 

 while perspicacious. It was because Dunglison's 

 met these indications that it became at once the 

 dictionary of general use wherever medicine was 

 studied in the English language. In no former 

 revision have the alterations and additions been 

 eo great. The chief terms have been set in black 

 letter, while the derivatives follow in small caps; 

 an arrangement which greatly facilitates reference.
