EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. " While this isessentially a STUDENT'S MANUAL, alarge 

 amount of matter has been incorporated which, it is hoped, will render it a useful reference-book to the YOUNG 

 f.RADUATK who is just entering on his professional career, and more particularly the individual whose sphere 

 of work demands a more practical acquaintance with pharmaceutical processes than is required of the ordi- 

 nary city practitioner. Great care has been'taken throughout the book to familiarize the student with the 

 best methods of administering the various drugs he will be called upon to use, and with this object a large 

 number of standard prescriptions have been selected from the works of the most eminent authorities, which 

 he i_.ui either adopt, with modifications to suit particular cases, or use as models on which to construct his own 

 formulas." ^__ 



This excellent manual comprises in its 366 small 

 octavo pages about as much sound and valuable in- 

 formation on the subjects indicated in its title as 

 cuiild well be crowded into the compass. The book 

 is exhaustively and correctly indexed, and of a con- 

 venient form. The paper, press-work, and binding 

 are excellent, and the typography (long primer and 

 brevier) is highly to be commended, as opposed to 

 the nonpareil and agate usually used incompendsof 

 this sort, and which are destructive to vision and 

 temper alike. Si. Louis Med. and Surg. Jour. 



In going through it, we have been favorably im- 

 " pressed by the plain and practical suggestions in 

 regard to prescription writing, and the metric sys- 

 tem, and the other things which must be known in 

 order to write good and accurate prescriptions.

Many works claim more in their title-pages than 

 can be verified further on, but the only adverse 



criticism we can make on this volume is that it does 

 not claim enough. Southern California Prac- 

 titioner. 



The book is one of the very best of its class.

This is a very condensed and valuable resume 

 of the drugs recognized by the United States Phar-

 preparations. Southern Medical Record. 



Dr. Bowen's work is a very valuable one indeed, 

 and will be found " to fill a want " beyond a doubi.

It is short and concise in its treatment of the 

 subjects, yet it gives sufficient to gain a very correct 

 knowledge of everything that comes under this head- 

 ing. This is a ready work for the country physician, 

 who must of necessity have a more practical acquain- 

 tance with pharmaceutical processes. Medical
