Inorganic Chemistry. In one handsome octavo volume of 677 pages with 51 

 woodcuts and 2 plates. Cloth, $3.75 ; leather, $4.75. 



This work should supersede other works of its 

 class in the medical colleges. It is certainly better 

 adapted than any work upon chemistry.with which 

 we are acquainted, to impart that clear and full 

 knowledge of the science which students of med- 

 icine should have. Physicians who feel that their 

 chemical knowledge is behind the times, would 

 do well to devote some of their leisure time to the 

 study of this work. The descriptions and demon- 

 strations are made so plain that there is no diffi- 

 culty in understanding them. Cincinnati Medical 

 News, January, 1886. 



This excellent treatise will not fail to take its 

 place as one of the very best on the subject of 

 which it treats. We have been much pleased 

 with the comprehensive and lucid manner in 

 which the difficulties of chemical notation and 

 nomenclature have been cleared up by the writers. 

 It shows on every page that the problem of 

 rendering the obscurities of this science easy 

 of comprehension has long and successfully 

 engaged the attention of the authors. Medical 

 and Surgical Reporter, October 31, 1885. 



FOWNES, GEORGE, Ph. D. 



A Manual of Elementary Chemistry; Theoretical and Practical. Em- 

 bodying WATTS' Physical Inorganic Chemistry. New American edition. In one large 

 royal 12mo. volume of 1061 pages, with 168 illustrations on wood and a colored plate. 

 Cloth, $2.75; leather, $3.25. 



Fownes' Chemistry has been a standard text- 

 book upon chemistry for many years. Its merits 

 re very fully known by chemists and physicians 

 everywhere in. this country and in England. As 

 the science has advanced by the making of new 

 discoveries, the work has been revised so as to 

 keep it abreast of the times. It has steadily 

 maintained its position as a text-book with medi- 

 cal students. In this work are treated fully: Heat, 

 Light and Electricity, including Magnetism. The 

 Influence exerted by these forces in chemical 

 action upon health and disease, etc., is of the most 

 Important kind, and should be familiar to every 

 medical practitioner. We can commend the 

 work as one of the very best text-books upon 



chemistry extant. Cincinnati Medical News, Oc- 

 tober, 1885. 



Of all the works on chemistry intended for the 

 use of medical students, Fownes' Chemistry is 

 perhaps the most widely used. Its popularity ia 

 based upon its excellence. This last edition con- 

 tains all of the material found in the previous, 

 and it is also enriched by the addition of Watts' 

 Physical and Inorganic Chemistry. All of the mat- 

 ter is brought to the present standpoint of chemi- 

 cal knowledge. We may safely predict for this 

 work a continuance of the fame and favor it enjoys 

 among medical students. New Orleans Medical 

 and Surgical Journal, March, 1886. 



ATTFIELD, JOHN, Ph. D., 



Professor of Practical Chemistry to the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, etc. 



Chemistry, General, Medical and Pharmaceutical ; Including the Chem- 

 istry of the U. S. Pharmacopoeia. A Manual of the General Principles of the Science, 

 and their Application to Medicine and Pharmacy. A new American, from the tenth 

 English edition, specially revised by the Author. In one handsome royal 12mo. volume 

 of 728 pages, with 87 illustrations. Cloth, $2.50 ; leather, $3.00. 



A text-book which passes through ten editions 

 in sixteen years must have good qualities. This 

 remark is certainly applicable to Attfield's Chem- 

 istry, a book which is so well known that it is 

 hardly necessary to do more than note the appear- 

 ance of this new and improved edition. It seems, 

 however, desirable to point put that feature of the 

 book which, in all probability, has made it so 

 popular. There can be little doubt that it is its 

 thoroughly practical character, the expression 

 being used in its best sense. The author under- 

 stands what the student ought to learn, and is able 



to put himself in the student's place and to appre- 

 ciate his state of mind. American Chemical Jour- 

 nal, April, 1884. 



It is a book on which too much praise cannot be 

 bestowed. As a text-book for medical schools it 

 is unsurpassable in the present state of chemical 

 science, and having been prepared with a special 

 view towards medicine and pharmacy, it is alike 

 indispensable to all persons engaged in those de- 

 partments of science. It includes the whole 

 chemistry of the last Pharmacopoeia. Pacific Medi- 

 cal and Surgical Journal, Jan. 1884. 



BLOXAM, CHARLES L., 



Professor of Chemistry in King's College, London. 



Chemistry, Inorganic and Organic. New American from the fifth Lon- 

 don edition, thoroughly revised and much improved. In one very handsome octavo 

 volume of 727 pages, with 292 illustrations. Cloth, $3.75 ; leather, $4.75. 



the best manuals of general chemistry In the Eng- 



Comment from us on this standard work is al- 

 most superfluous. It differs widely in scope and 

 aim from that of Attfield, and in its way is equally 

 beyond criticism. It adopts the most direct meth- 

 ods in stating the principles, hypotheses and facts 

 of the science. Its language is so terse and lucid, 

 and its arrangement of matter so logical in se- 

 quence that the student never has occasion to 

 complain that chemistry is a hard study. Much 

 attention is paid to experimental illustrations of 

 chemical principles and phenomena, and the 

 mode of conducting these experiments. The book 

 maintains the position it has always held as one of 



lish language. Detroit Lancet, Feb. 1884. 



Professor Bloxam's book is a very satisfactory 

 one. We know of no treatise on chemistry which 

 contains so much practical information in the 

 same number of pages. The book can be readily 

 adapted not only to the needs of those who desire 

 a tolerably complete course of chemistry, but also 

 to the needs of those who desire only a general 

 knowledge of the subject. We take pleasure in 

 recommending this work both as a satisfactory 

 text- book, ana s- au seful book of reference. Bos- 

 ton Medical and Surgical Journal, June 19, 1884.

Professor of Chemistry in the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.

 tion of Chemical Compounds. New (third) and revised edition. In one handsome royal 

 12mo. volume of about 250 pages. Preparing.
