A Practical Treatise on Materia Medica and Therapeutics By 

 Roberts Bartholow, M. A., M. D., LL. D., Professor of Materia Medica 

 in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, etc. Fourth edition, 

 revised and enlarged. 8vo. ; pp. 662. Price, cloth, $5; sheep, $6. 

 D. Appleton & Co. 



This treatise has been received in a very flattering manner 

 during the past six years. The work is to be recommended to the 

 student and practitioner as presenting unusual advantages in its 

 scheme of classification, in the subjects discussed, and more espec- 

 ially in the eminently practical character of the information. Tlie 

 text of the fourth edition has been revised at all points, many 

 articles rewritten and a large number of important additions made. 

 The "index of remedies" is full, and the "clinical index" of twenty- 

 six pages is most conveniently and admirably arranged. The work 

 is so complete that it is a text-book for the close student, and 

 the matter is so arranged that it is the work for the busy 

 practitioner. 



A Manual of Orc.anic Materia Medica. A guide to Materia Medica of 

 the vegetable and animal kingdoms. By John M. Maisch, Phar. D., 

 Professor of Materia Medica in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. 

 Price, $2.75. 8vo.; pp. 459. Two hundred illustrations. 1882. Henry 

 C. Lea's Son «& Co. 



The author divides the subject into three parts: .Animal drugs, 

 cellular vegetable drugs, drugs without cellular structure. The 

 origin, habitat, description, constituents, properties, and substitu- 

 tions of each drug is fully given. The organic drugs which resem- 

 ble one another in physical and structural properties are brought 

 together. The whole work is stamped with Professor Maisch's care 

 and thoroughness, and thus becomes invaluable to the druggist 

 and pharmacist. 



A Manual of Sugar Analysis; including the applications in general of 

 analytical methods to the sugar industry. By J. H. 'J'ucker, Ph. D. 

 8vo. ; pp. 353. Illustrated. D. Van Nostrand, 23 Murray Street, New 

 York City. i88r. 



We believe this is the only work of the kind in the English 

 language. The German and French have done more in this line, 

 but Americans seem to have been content with a few articles in 

 journals and dictionaries. Dr. Tucker then has done not only a 

 _ good thing for himself, but also for the chemists of his own country. 

 To them especially will such a work be welcomed and appreciated.
