AN ANALYTICAL COMPENDIUM OF THE VARIOUS 



BRANCHES OF MEDICAL SCIENCE ; for the Use and Examination of Students. A 

 new edition, revised and improved. In one very large and handsomely printed royal 12mo. 

 volume, of about one thousand pages, with 374 wood cuts, extra cloth, $4 ; strongly bound 

 in leather, with raised bands, $4 75. t 



The Compend of Drs. Neill and Smith is incompara- 

 bly the most valuable work of its class ever published 

 in this country. Attempts have been made in various 

 quarters to squeeze Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, 

 the Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Materia Medica, 

 aud Chemistry into a single manual; but the opera- 

 tion has signally failed in the hands of all up to the 

 advent of" Neill and Smith's" volume, which is quite 

 a miracle of success. The outlines of the whole are 

 admirably drawn and illustrated, and the authors 

 are eminently entitled to the grateful consideration 

 of the student of every class. N. 0. Med. and Surg. 

 Journal. 



This popular favorite with the student is so well 

 known that it requires no more at the hands of a 

 medical editor than the annunciation of a new and 

 improved edition. There is no sort of comparison 

 between this work and any other on a similar plan, 

 and for a similar object. Nash. Journ of Medicine. 



There are but few students or practitioners of me- 

 dicine unacquainted with the former editions of this 

 unassuming though highly instructive work. The 

 whole science of medicine appears to have been sifted, 

 as the gold-bearing sands of El Dorado, and the pre- 

 cious facts treasured up in this little volume. A com- 

 plete portable library so condensed that the student 

 may make it his constant pocket companion. West- 

 ern Lancet. 



To compress the whole science of medicine in less 

 than 1,000 pages is an impossibility, but we think that 

 the book before us approaches as near to it as is pos- 

 sible. Altogether, it is the best of its class, and has 

 met with a deserved success. As an elementary text- 

 book for students, it has been useful, and 'will con- 

 tinue to be employed in the examination of private 

 classes, whilst it will often be referred to by the 

 country practitioner. Va. Med. Journal. 



As a handbook for students it is invaluable, con- 

 taining in the most condensed form the established 

 facts and principles of medicine aud its collateral 

 sciences. N. H. Journal of Medicine. 



In the rapid course of lectures, where work for the 

 students is heavy, and review necessary for an exa- 

 mination, a compend is not only valuable, but it is 

 almost a sine qua non. The one before us is, in most 

 of the divisions, the most unexceptionable of all books 

 of the kind that we know of. The newest and sound- 

 est' doctrines and the latest improvements and dis- 

 coveries are explicitly, though concisely, laid before 

 the student. Of course it is useless for us to recom- 

 mend it to all last course students, but there is a class 

 to whom we very sincerely commend this cheap book 

 as worth its weight in silver that class is the gradu- 

 ates in medicine of more than ten years' standing, 

 who have not studied medicine since. They will 

 perhaps find out from it that the science is not ex- 

 actly now what it was when they left it off. The 

 Stethoscope. 



Having made free use of this volume in our exami- 

 nations of pupils, we can speak from experience in 

 recommending it as an admirable compend for stu- 

 dents, and especially useful to preceptors who exam- 

 ine their pupils. It will save the teacher much labor 

 by enabling him readily to recall all of the points 

 upon which his pupils should be examined. A work 

 of this sort should be in the hands of every one who 

 takes pupils into his office with a view of examining 

 them ; and this is unquestionably the best of its class. 

 Let every practitioner who has pupils provide himself 

 with it, and he will find the labor of refreshing his 

 knowledge so much facilitated that he will be able to 

 do justice to his pupils at very little cost of time or 

 trouble to himself. Transylvania Med. Journal. 



T UDLOW (J. L.), M. D. 



A MANUAL OF EXAMINATIONS upon Anatomy, Physiology, 



Surgery, Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Materia Medica, Chemistry, Pharmacy, and 

 Therapeutics. To which is added a Medical Formulary. Third edition, thoroughly revised 

 and greatly extended and enlarged. With 370 illustrations. In one handsome royal 

 12ino. volume of 816 large pages, extra cloth, $3 25; leather, $3 75. 



The arrangement of this volume in the form of question and answer renders it especially suit- 

 able for the office examination of students, and for those preparing for graduation. 



We know of no better companion for the student 

 during the hours spent in the lecture-room, or to re- 

 fresh, at a glance, his memory of the various topics 

 crammed into his head by the various professors to 

 whom he is compelled to listen. Western Lancet. 



As it embraces the whole range of medical studies 

 it is necessarily voluminous, containing 816 large 

 duodecimo pages. After a somewhat careful exami- 

 nation of its contents, we have formed a much more 

 favorable opinion of it than we are wont to regard 

 such works. Although well adapted to meet the wants 



of the student if preparing for his final examination, 

 it might be profitably consulted by the practitioner 

 also, who is most apt to become rusty in the very kind 

 of details here given, and who, amid the hurry of his 

 daily routine, is but too prone to neglect the study of 

 more elaborate works. The possession of a volume 

 of this kind might serve as> an inducement for him to 

 seize the moment of excited curiosity to inform him- 

 self on any subject, and which is otherwise too often 

 allowed to pass unimproved. Si. Louis Med. and 

 Surg. Journal. 



WANNER ( THOMAS HA WKES), M- D. 



A MANUAL OF CLINICAL MEDICINE AND PHYSICAL DIAG- 

 NOSIS. Third American, from the second enlarged and revised English edition. To 

 which is added The Code of Ethics of the American Medical Association. In one hand- 

 some volume 12mo. (Preparing for early publication.) 



This work, after undergoing a very thorough revision at the hands of the author, may now be 

 expected to appear shortly. The title scarcely affords a proper idea of the range of subjects em- 

 braced in the volume, as it contains not only very full details of diagnostic symptoms properly 

 classified, but also a large amount of information on matters of every day practical importance, 

 not usually touched upon in the systematic works, or scattered through many different volumes.
