SPECIAL PATHOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS. 



THIRD EDITION. 



By ROBLEY DUNGLISON, M. D. 



Professor of the Institutes of Medicine in the Jefferson Medical College; Lecturer on Clinical Medicinef S^e \ 



In Two large Octavo Volumes of over Fourteen Hundred Pages. 



Since the publication of the second edition of this work, short as the interval has been, so much 

 activity has prevailed in the advancement of medical knowledge, that a thorough revision of it 

 became necessary. Several pathological affections, too, had been omitted, v/hich are now insert- 

 ed. The greatly enlarged dimensions of the work will sufficiently exhibit the amount of additions, 

 which might escape superficial observation. 



In preparing the present edition, the author has carefully scanned the various monographs on 

 pathology and therapeutics, which have appeared alone or in different cyclopaediac and other works, 

 transactions of learned societies, and journals. He has also availed himself of the valuable matter 

 contained in recent treatises having a similar scope with his own, of which he may specify more 

 particularly those of Canstatt, Fuchs, and Wunderlich of Germany ; Valliex and Grisolle of France; 

 and Dickson of this country. The Pathological Anatomy of Vogel, and the Animal Chemistry of 

 Simon, have also yielded him valuable assistance. Nothing of importance that has been recorded 

 since the publicafton of the last edition has, he believes, escaped his attention 5 and altogether he 

 trusts that the present edition will be regarded as an adequate exponent of the existing condition 

 of knowledge on the important departments of which it treats, 



Notwitlistandingr the numerous and attractive works which have of late been issued on the Practice of 

 Physic, these volumes keep tlieir place as a standard text-book for the student, and manual of reference for 

 the practitioner. The care with which the author embodies evcrytliing of value from all sources, tlie industry 

 with which all discoveries of interest or importance are summed up in succeeding editions, the excellent 

 order and system which is everywhere manifested, and the clear and intelligible style in which his thoughts 

 are presented, render his works universal favorites with the profession. 



"In the volumes betbre us. Dr. Dunglison has proved that his acquaintance with the present facts and 

 doctrines, wheresoever originating, is most extensive and intimate, and the judgment, skill, and impartiality 

 with which the materials of the work have been collected, weighed, arranged, and exposed, are strikingly 

 manifested in every chapter. Great care is everywhere taken to indicate the source of information, and 

 under the head of treatment, formulrc of t!ie most appropriate remedies are everywhere introduced. In con- 

 clusion, we congratulate the students and junior practitioners of America on possessing in the present 

 volumes a work of standard merit, to which they- may confidently refer in their doubts and difTicuIties." — 

 Brit, and For. Med. Rev. 



" Since the foregoing observations were written, we have received a second edition of Dunglison's work, 

 a sufficient indication of the high character it has already attained in America, and justly attained."— Ifttfi. 



■'In the short space of two years, a second edition of Dr. Dunglison's Treatise on Special Patliology and 

 Therapeutics has l)een called for, and is now betbre the public m the neat and tasteful dress in which Lea 

 & Blanchard issue all their valuable publications. We do not notice the fact for the purpose of passing any 

 studied eulogy upon this work, which is now too well known to the profession to need the commendation of 

 the press. 



"A cursory examination will satisfy any one, that great labor has been bestowed upon these volumes, 

 and on acareful perusal it will be seen that they exhibit the present state of our knowledge relative to 

 special pathology and therapeutics. The work is justly a great favorite with students of medicine, whose 

 exigencies the learned author seems especially to have consulted in its preparation." — Western Jour, of 

 Med. and Surg. 



" This is a work which must at once demand a respectful consideration from the profession, emanating as 

 it does from one of the most learned and indefatigable physicians of our <?ountry. 



"This arrangement will recommend itself to the favorable consideration of all, for simplicity and com- 

 prehensiveness. We have no space to go into details, and, therefore, conclude by saying, that although 

 isolated defects might be pointed out, yet as a whole, we cheerfully recommend it to the profession, as 

 embracing much important matter whicli cannot easily be obtained from any other source." — Westerti Lancet.
