We know of no treatise in the language so well 

 calculated to aid the student iu becoming familiar 

 with the numerous facts in the intrinsic science on 

 which it treats, or one better calculated as a text-

 Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



We know of none within the same limits which 

 has higher claims to our confidence as a college class-

 rangement. Augusta Medical Journal. 



We know of no text-book on chemistry that we 

 would sooner recommend to the student than this 

 edition of Prof. Fownes' work. Montreal Medical 

 Chronicle. 



A new and revised edition of one of the best elemen- 

 tary works on chemistry accessible to the American 

 and English student. N. Y. Journal of Medical ami

PARRISH (ED WARD], 



Professor of Materia Medica in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. 



A TREATISE ON PHARMACY. Designed as a Text-Book for the 



Student, and as a Guide for the Physician and Pharmaceutist. With many Formulae and 

 Prescriptions. Third Edition, greatly improved. In one handsome octavo volume, of 850 

 pages, with several hundred illustrations, extra cloth. $5 00. 



The rapid progress made in the science and art of Pharmacy, and the many changes in the last 

 edition of the Pharmacopoeia have required a very thorough revision of this work to render it 

 worthy the continued confidence with which it has heretofore been favored. In effecting this, 

 many portions have been condensed, and every effort has been made to avoid increasing unduly 

 the bulk of the volume, yet, notwithstanding this, it will be found enlarged by about one hundred 

 and fifty pages. The author's aim has been to present in a clear and compendious manner every- 

 thing of value to the prescriber and dispenser of medicines, and the work, it is hoped, will be found 

 more than ever a complete book of reference and text-book, indispensable to all who desire to keep 

 on a level with the advance of knowledge connected with their profession. 



The immense amount of practical information condensed in its pages may be estimated from 

 the fact that the Index contains about 4700 items. Under the head of Acids there are 312 refer- 

 ences; under Emplastrum, 36; Extracts, 159; Lozenges, 25; Mixtures, 55; Pills, 56; Syrups, 

 131 ; Tinctures, 138 ; Unguentum, 57, &c. 



We have examined this large volume with a good 

 deal of care, and find that the author has completely 

 exhausted the subject upon which he treats ; a more 

 complete work, we think, it would be impossible to 

 find. To the student of pharmacy the work is indis- 

 pensable ; indeed, so far as we know, it is the only one 

 of its kind in existence, and even to the physician or 

 medical student who can spare five dollars to pur- 

 chase it, we feel sure the practical information he 

 will obtain will more than compensate him for the 

 outlay. Canada Med. Journal, Nov. 1864. 



The medical student and the practising physician 

 will find the volume of inestimable worth for study 

 and reference. San Francisco Med. Press, July, 

 1864. 



When we say that this book is in some respects 

 the best which has been published on the subject in 

 the English language for a great many years, we do 

 not wish it to be understood as very extravagant 

 praise. In truth, it is not so much the best as the 

 only book. The London Chemical News. 



An attempt to furnish anything like an analysis of 

 Parrish's very valuable and elaborate Treatise on 

 Practical Pharmacy would require more space than 

 we have at our disposal. This, however, is not so 

 much a matter of regret, inasmuch as it would be 

 difficult to think of any point, 1 however minute and 

 apparently trivial, connected with the manipulation 

 of pharinaceutic substances or appliances which has 



not been clearly and carefully discussed in this vol- 

 ume. Want of space prevents our enlarging further 

 on this valuable work, and we must conclude by a 

 simple expression of our hearty appreciation of its 

 merits. Dublin Quarterly Jour, of Medical Science, 

 August, 1S64. 



We have in this able and elaborate work a fair ex- 

 position of pharmaceutical science as it exists in the 

 United States ; and it shows that our transatlantic 

 friends have given the subject most elaborate con- 

 sideration, and have brought their art to a degree of 

 perfection which, we believe, is scarcely to be sur- 

 passed anywhere. The book is, of course, of more 

 direct value to the medicine maker than to the physi- 

 cian ; yet Mr. PARRISH has not failed to introduce 

 matter in which the prescriber is quite as much 

 interested as the componnder of remedies. In con- 

 clusion, we can only express our high opinion of the 

 value of this work as a guide to the pharmaceutist, 

 and in many respects to the physician, not only in 

 America, but in other parts of the world. British 

 Med. Journal, Nov. 12th, 1S64. 



The former editions have been sufficiently long 

 before the medical public to render the merits of the 

 work well known. It is certainly one of the most 

 complete and valuable works on practical pharmacy 

 to which the student, the practitioner, or the apothe- 

 cary can have access. Chicago Medical Examiner, 

 March, 1864.
