PARRISH (ED WARD), 



Late. Professor of Materin Medico in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. 



A TREATISE ON PHARMACY. Designed as a Text-Book for the 



Student, and as a Guide for the Physician and Pharmaceutist. With many Formulae and 

 Prescriptions. Fourth Edition, thoroughly revised, by THOMAS S. WIEGAND. In one 

 handsome octavo volume of 977 pages, with 280 illustrations; cloth. $5 50; leather, $6 50 

 (Lately Issued.) 



The delay in the appearance of the new U. S. Pharmacopoeia, and the sudden death of the au- 

 thor, have postponed the preparation of this new edition beyond the period expected. The notes 

 and memoranda left by Mr. Parrish have been placed in the hands of the editor, Mr. Wiegand, 

 who has labored assiduously to embody in the work all the improvements of pharmaceutical sci- 

 ence which have been introduced during he last ten years. It is therefore hoped that the new 

 edition will fully maintain the reputation which the volume has heretofore enjoyed as a standard 

 text-book and work of reference for all engaged in the preparation and dispensing of medicines. 

 Of Dr. Parrish 's great work on pharmacy it only an honored place on our own bookshelves. Dublin 



remains to be said that the editor has accomplished 

 his work so well as to maintain, in this fourth edi- 

 tion, the high standard of excellence which it had 

 attained in previous editions, under the editorship of 

 its accomplished author. This has not been accom

We expressed our opinion of a former edition in 

 terms of unqualified praise, and we are in no inood 

 to detract from that opinion in reference to the pre- 

 sent edition, the preparation of which has fallen into 



plished without much labor, and many additions and compe tent hands. It is a book with which no pharma- 

 improvemeuts, involving changes in the arrangement , cist can dispense, and from which no physician can 

 of the several parts of the work, and the addition of fajl to Derive much information of value to him in 

 much new matter. With the modifications thus ef- 

 fected it constitutes, as now presented, a compendium 

 of the science and art indispensable to the pharma- 

 cist, and of the utmost value to every practitioner 

 of medicine desirous of familiarizing himself with 

 the pharmaceutical preparation of the articles which 

 he prescribes for his patients. Chicago Med.Journ., 

 July, 1874. 



The work is eminently practical, and has the rare 

 merit of being readable and interesting, while it pre- 

 serves astricily scientific character. The whole work

With these few remarks we heartily commend the 

 work, and have no doubt that it will maintain its 

 old reputation as a text-book for the student, and a 

 work of reference for the more experienced physi- 

 cian and pharmacist . Chicago Med. Examiner, 

 June 1.3, 1874. 



Perhaps one, if not the most important book upon 

 pharmacy which has appeared iu the English lan- 

 guage has emanated from the transatlantic press.

lisher It will convey some idea of I he liberality which 

 has been bestowed upon its production when we men- 

 tion that there are no less than 2SO carefully executed 

 illustrations. In conclusion, we heartily recommend 

 the work, not only to pharmacists, but also to the 

 multitude of medical practitioners who are obliged 

 to compound their own medicines. It will ever hold 



side of the water, aud the fact shows us that a really 

 useful work never becomes merely local in its fame. 

 Thanks to the judicious editing of Mr. Wiegand, tire 

 posthumous edition of "Parrish" has been saved tb 

 the public with all the mature experience of its au- 

 thor, and perhaps none the worse for a dash of new 

 blood. Lond. Pharm. Journal, Oct. 17, 1874.

 Fourth edition, revised and enlarged. In two large and handsome 8vo. vols. of about 2000 

 pages. Cloth, $10 ; leather, $12. (Lately Issued.) 



The care bestowed by the author on the revision of this edition has kept the work out of the 

 market for nearly two years, and has increased its size about two hundred and fifty pages. Not 

 withstanding this enlargement, the price has been kept at the former very moderate rate.
