THE PRACTITIONER'S HANDBOOK OF TREATMENT; Or, the 



Principles of Therapeutics. In one very neat octavo volume of about 550 \- ig< : cloth, 

 $4 00. (Note Ready.) 



It Tny be said that the scope of this work is not dissimilar to that of the well I<nown 

 "Principles of Medicine,'' by I>r J. C. 15. Williams, now long nut of print, which in it- day 

 met with such unusual acceptance. More- pr.-ietical in its elm meter. Ix.v. c\ cr. it seek- to bring 

 to the aid and elucidation of positive therapeutics, the vast accumulation of scientific faci 

 theories made by the present generation, pointing out the measures to be adopted ,-il ill, be.lsjde 

 and establishing them on firm rational grounds. Such a work, by a first-iate man, and fully 

 up to the advanced condition of science, cannot fail to prove of the utmost service to both 

 student and practitioner. 



Our friends will find this a very readable book : and 

 that it sheds lulu ui'Oii ei cry theme it touches, causing 

 the practitioner to feel more certain of his diagnosis in 

 difficult eases. We confident!; commend the work to 

 our readers as one worthy of careful perusal. It Imhis 

 tlie way over obscure aud difficult passes in medical 

 practice. The chapter on the circulation of the Mood 

 is th r'st exhaustive and instructive to be found. It 

 is a lo k every practitioner needs. and would have, if 

 be knew how siugpstive and helpful it would be to 

 him. Xt. Louis Mai. and Siiiy. Jour >.. April. 1877. 



The object is one of the most important which a med- 

 ical wri'cr can propose to himself, for therapeutics is th e 

 goal of medicine, aud the plan is an excellent one. In 

 justice to Dr. Fothergill we ought to say that he has ad- 

 hered to his plan throughout the work wilh fidelity, and 

 has accomplished his object with a rare degree of success. 

 We he:->. lily commend his book to the medical student 

 as an hone-t and intelligent guide through the maxes of 

 therapeutics, and assure the practitioner who has grown 

 gray in the harness that he will derive pleasure and in- 

 struction from its perusal. The imperfections and 

 errors which we have noticed are few and unimportant. 

 On the other hand, the excellence? are many and patent. 

 Valuable suggestions and material for thought abound 

 throughout. The chapters on body heat and fever, in- 



flammation, action and inaction, and the urinary sys- 

 tem are particularly good. The descriptions of patho- 

 logical conditions, and the character of the therapeutic 

 measures advised give evidence of sound clinical ohser- 

 vation. B"?t'in .I/"/, uml Xi/i-g.Jii/ii-iiul. Mar S, 1^77. 



The stroii'.' good sense, the racy style, the practical 

 cl aracter of his instruction, are qualities in ihe author 

 which commend him to American physicians. In the 



volume before us Dr. Fothergill appears in bi- best 

 mood. Our readers, c^pe. i;niy the younger members oi 

 the profes.-ion. will find thi- a nn-l suggestive and in-r- 



ful i k. There are ie\\ old practitioners who will not 



bi benefited by its perusal. \\ c commend ;| to all 

 classes of readers, with tbe exprc-ri"n of belief i hat ti 

 who buy it will be hardly coiiieiit to close it until the 

 last leaf is turned over. Cimni'n Oli vie. Mai :. l>77. 



It is our honest con-vie ion. after a careful pern-al of 

 this goodlv octavo, that it represent a great aiiiouut of 

 earnest thought and painstaking work, and i,- II;. refore 

 one of those books which both di erve and an i ly to 

 survive. 'J'his book, although written osten-ib \ lor the 

 young and inexperienced, may be \ery ],rotilali'\ studied 

 by those who have been ,| raeii'ing their pr< fe sion 

 more or less empirically for thirty or forty yearn. We 

 particularly recommend the chapters on Public and 

 I'rivate Hygiene, Food in Health and lll-Ilea:; h. aud 

 the CoLcliision the Medical Man at the liedsidc The 

 last is high-toned, and indicates much shrewdness ol ob- 

 servation. Our space will not ailmii of further quotation. 

 \Ve content ourselves with again recommending the 

 book very cordially J-'ilin. AIni. Jmini.. .Ian 1~77. 



It isof great ad vantage to the practitioner to have gen- 

 eral principles to guide him. and that he should not, 

 when confronted with an assemblage of pathological 

 symptoms, be at the mercy of an unreasoned experience 

 of a similar case, or be obliged to swear in ( ///./ > .ii/inri. 

 lie will find reasons in this work fur not looking upon 

 drugs, as grouped in fixed and unalterable categories. 

 but learn when and why he may give opium lo cause 

 purgation, and ccsstor oil to check ii. We strongly re- 

 commend it to our readers. The London Pru.<ti(i"i,cr,

This little book is, considering its size, one of the 

 very best treatises iu the language on the subject that 

 has come to our notice, pos-essing, among others, the 

 rare merit of dealiug avowedly aud actually with 

 principles, mainly, rather tbau with practical details, 



thereby supplying a real waut, instead of helping 

 merely to flood the literary market Dr. Lincoln's 

 style is usually remarkably clear, and the whole 

 book is readable aud interesting. Boston Med. and
