A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Medicine, or the 

 Pathology and Therapeutics of Internal Diseases. By Alonzo B. 

 Palmer, M. D., LL. D., Professor of Pathology and Practice of Medi- 

 cine, and of Clinical Medicine in the University of Michigan. Volume 

 I. General Pathology, general diseases, diseases of the organs of diges- 

 tion and assimilation. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. 



Ten years ago we were among the students, listening to the 

 teachings of Professor Palmer. Our classmates presented to each 

 other the advantages to be derived from having a work like the 

 above for a text-book while in college, and for a work of reference 

 when we should become engaged in active practice. When students 

 we regarded our teacher as a thorough and earnest worker, a clear 

 thinker, well posted on the literature of his department. As practi- 

 tioners we have found him an accurate diagnostician and a success- 

 ful prescriber. What then should we expect to find in this work? 



Clear diagnosis, full pathology, and accurate directions for 

 treatment. In all these Professor Palmer has not disappointed his 

 pupils. It is a work on pathology for the critical pathologist. It is 

 a work on practice for the busy practitioner. 



As the only comprehensive work written by a western practi- 

 tioner, it will prove of the utmost value to our western medical men. 



Years of hard labor, both at home and abroad, in country, city 

 and hospital practice, aided by a ripe judgment, have enabled Pro- 

 fessor Palmer to give us a work that is as precise as it will be 

 permanent.

By reading a few pages only one becomes convinced that this 

 is a work of high value and merit. It deals with facts in a racy and 

 interesting way. It presents many phases of the anti-slavery move- 

 ment not recorded elsewhere. 



The editors have exhibited especial qualifications for their im- 

 portant work. Open the book anywhere and you become at once 

 deeply interested. It is a work that honors alike the cause and the 

 editors.
