 Jn this age of books, when much is w^ritten in every department of the science of medicine, it is a mailer of 

 no small moment to the student, which of the many he shall choose for his study in pupilage, and guide in 

 practice. In no department is the choice more difficult than in that of midwifery ; many excellent and truly 

 valuable treatises in thisdepartment of medicine have, within a few years past, been written ; of this character 

 are those of De wees, Velpeau, Meigs and Rigby, with due refpect to the authors of the works just ciled, we are 

 compelled to admit, thai to Mr. Churchill has been reserved the honorof presenting lo the profession, one more 

 particularly adapted to the want and use of students, a work rich in statistics — clear in practice — and free in 

 style — possessing no small claims to our confidence. — T/ie New York Journal of Medicine.

Seventy-five Wood-cuts. 



This encyclopaedia of materia medica. for such it may justly be entitled, gives the fullest and most ample ex- 

 position of materia medica and its associate branches of any work hitherto published in the English language. 

 It abounds in research and erudition: its statements of facts are clear and methodically arranged, while its 

 therapeutical explanations are philosophical, and in accordance with sound clinical experience. It is equally 

 adapted as a textbook for students, or a work of reference for the advanced practitioner, and no one can 

 consult its pages without profit, The editor has pcrlormed his task with much ability and judgment. In the 

 first American edition, he adopted the Pharmacopffiia of the United States, and the formulce set forth in that 

 standaid a'lthoriiy ; »n the present he has introduced an account of substances that have recently attracted at- 

 tention by their therapeutic employment, together with the mode of forming the characters and uses of nevir 

 pharmaceutic prepitraiions, and the details of more elaborate and particular chemical investigations, with 

 respect to the nature of previously known and already described elementary principles — all the important 

 indigenous medicines of the Unittd Stales heretofore known, are also described. The work, however, is loo 

 well known to need any further remark. We have no doubt it will have a circulation commensurate wiih its 

 extraordinary merits.— 37/e New York Journal of Medicine.
