THE NATIONAL DISPENSATORY: Embracing the Chemistry, Botany, 



Materia Mediea, Pharmacy, Pharmacodynamics, and Therapeutics of the Pharmaco- 

 poeias of the United States and Great Britain. For the Use of Physicians ami Pharma- 

 ceutists. In one btanlsome octavo volume, with numerous illustrations. 

 The want has long been felt and expressed of a work which, within a moderate compass, 



should give to the physician and pharmaceutist an authoritative exposition of the Pha.rm - 



pceias from the existing standpoint of medical and pharm iceutical science. For several vears 

 the authors have been earnestly engaged in the preparation of the present volume, with the 

 hope of satisfying this want, and their labors are now sufficiently advanced to enable the pub- 

 lisher to promise its appearance during the coming season. Their distinguished reputation in 

 their respective departments is a guarantee that the work will fulfil all reasonable expectation >\~ 

 a guide in the selection, compounding, dispensing, and medicinal uses of drugs, complete in all 

 respects, while convenient in size, and carefully divested of all unnecessary and obsolete matter. 



Q.RIFFITH (ROBERT E.), M.D. 



A UNIVERSAL FORMULARY, Containing the Methods of Pnpar- 



ing and Administering Officinal and other Medicines. The whole adapted to Physiciars and 

 Pharmaceutists. Third edition, thoroughly revised, with numerous additions, bj JOHN M. 

 MAISCH, Professor of Materia Mediea in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. In one large 

 and handsome octavovolume of aboutSOO pages, cloth, $4 50; leather, $5 50. (Lately 



Issuer/ ) 



As a comparative view of the United States, the British, the German, and the French 

 Pharmacopoeias, together with nn immense a.mount of unofficinal formulas, it affords to the prac- 

 titioner and pharmaceutist an aid in their daily avocations not to be found elsewhere, while three 

 indexes, one of "Diseases and their Remedies," one of Pharmaceutical Names, and a General 

 Index, afford an easy key to the alphabetical arrangement adopted in the text. 



The young practitioner will find the work invalu- 

 able in suggesting eligible modes of administering 

 many remedies. Am. Journ. of Pharm., Feb. 1874. 



Our copy of Griffith's Formulary, after long use, 

 first in the dispensing shop, and afterwards in our 

 medical practice, had gradually fallen behind in the 

 onward march of materia medica, pharmacy, and 

 therapeutics, until we had ceased to consult'itas a 

 daily book of reference. So completely lias Prof 

 Maisch reformed, remodelled, and rejuvenated it in 

 the new edition, we shall gladly welcome it back to 

 our table again beside Dunglison, Webster, and Wood 

 & Bache. The publisher could not have been more 

 fortunate in the selection of an editor. Prof. Maisch 

 Is eminently the man for the work, and he ban done 

 it thoroughly and ably. To enumerate the altera- 

 tions, amendments, and additions would be an end- 

 less task; everywhere we are greeted with the evi- 

 dences of his labor. Following the Formulary, is an 

 addendum of useful Recipes, Dietetic Preparations, 

 List of Incompatibles, Posological table, table of 

 Pharmaceutical Names, Officinal Preparations and 

 Directions, Poisons. Antidotes and Treatment, and 

 copious indices, which afford ready access to al 1 parts 

 of the work. We unhesitatingly commend the book 

 as being the best of its kind, within our knowledge 

 Atlanta Med. and Surg. Journ., Feb. 1874. 



To the druggist a good formulary is simply indis " 

 peusahle. aoil perhaps no formulary lias been m >re 

 extensively used than the well-known work before 

 us. Many physicians have toofflciate, also, as drug- 

 gists This is true especially of the country physi- 

 cian, and a work which shall teach him the means 

 by which to administer or combine his remedies in 

 the most efficacious and pleasant manner, will al- 

 ways hold its place upon his shelf. A formulary "f 

 this kind is of benefit also to the city physician in 

 largest practice. Cincinnati Clinic, Feb. 21, 1874. 



The Formulary has already proved itself accepta- 

 ble to the medical profession, and we do not !)' 

 to say that tbe third edition is much improved. :MI,I 

 of greater practical value, in consequence of the care- 

 ful revision of Prof Maisch. Chicago Mt>-d. Exam- 

 iner, March 15, 1874. 



A more complete formulary than it is in its pres- 

 ent form the pharmacist or physician could hardly 

 desire. To the first some such work is iudi-'i^ii-a- 

 ble, and it is hardly Us< essential to the practitioner 

 who compounds his own medicine*. .Much of wh.tl 

 is contained in the iutro'lue'ion .ni^ht to be. r m- 

 mitted to memory by every stud'-nt of medicine 

 As a help to physicians it will be found inval \\-.\ Me, 

 and doubtless will make its way into lihr-in 

 all-Ma. ly supplied with a standard work of the kind.
