- with the adaptation of the agent to the cure of many diseases, are very 
accurately, and very systematically presented. No similar production 
with which we are acquainted, surpasses, if indeed it equals this in the 
accuracy of its botanical descriptions ; the description of the therapeutic 
virtues of many of the articles noticed, possesses equal merit. 
The author appears to be familiar with many of the plants not in use 
as remedial agents in the allopathic school of medicine, but which are in 
very common use amongst the Eclectic class of physicians. This 
speaks well for his liberality, and clearly manifests a disposition to keep 
up with the improvements of the science. 
The work is interesting and instructive, and recommends itself to the 
notice of every reformer in medicine. L. E. J.

work is now in its fourth year, and though we have never had an op- 
portunity before of presenting it to our readers, we do so now with 
pierre: It is a new Jersey work, published at Elizabethtown, Essex

natural history of indigenous and other plants, that may at all times be 
made available to the medical practitioner, and particularly to the country 
physician, in the treatment of disease. Hach part contains twelve 
colored plates, and a mass of valuable information is condensed in a com-

fully urge upon our r claims of his valuable production, and 
hope, that she $F ay increase its circulation at least

- Good’s Family Flora has been received. It is, as usual, a neat and 
well-executed work, and is replete with interest, and cannot be too ex- 
tensively patronized. We would recommend it especially to Physicians.
