Three complete and extended Indexes render the work especially adapted for immediate consul- 

 tation. One, of DISEASES AND THEIR REMEDIES, presents under the head of each disease the 

 remedial agents which have been usefully exhibited in it, with reference to the formulae containing 

 them while another of PHARMACEUTICAL and BOTANICAL NAMES, and a very thorough GENERAL 

 INDEX afford the means of obtaining at once any information desired. The Formulary itself is 

 arranged alphabetically, under the heads of the leading constituents of the prescriptions.

 tising physician which has been, issued from the press 

 of late years, containing a vast variety of formulas 

 for the safe and convenient administration of medi- 

 cines, all arranged upon scientific and rational prin- 

 ciples, with the quantities stated in full, without

 THE MEDICAL FORMULARY: being a Collection of Prescriptions 



derived from the writings and practice of many of the most eminent physicians of America 

 and Europe. Together with the usual Dietetic Preparations and Antidotes for Poisons. To 

 which is added an Appendix, on the Endermic use of Medicines, and on the use of Ether

 servation's. Eleventh edition, carefully revised and much extended by ROBERT P. THOMAS, 

 M. D., Professor of Materia Medica in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. In one 

 volume 8vo., of about 350 pages. $3 00. 



We endorse the favorable opinion which the book 

 has so long established for itself, and take this occa- 

 sion to commend it to our readers as one of the con- 

 venient handbooks of the office and library. Cin- 

 cinnati Lancet, Feb. 1864. 



The work has long been before the profession, and 

 its merits are well known. The present edition con- 

 tains many valuable additions, and will be found to 

 be an exceedingly convenient and useful volume for 

 reference by the medical practitioner. Chicago 

 Medical Examiner, March, 1864. 



The work is now so well known, and has been so 



frequently noticed in this Journal as the successive 

 editions appeared, that it is sufficient, on the present 

 occasion, to state that the editor has introduced into 

 the eleventh edition a large amount of new matter, 

 derived from the current medical and pharmaceutical 

 works, as well as a number of valuable prescriptions 

 furnished from private sources. A very comprehen- 

 sive and extremely useful index has also been sup- 

 plied, which facilitates reference to the particular 

 article the' preseriber may wish to administer; and 

 the language of the Formalary has been made to cor- 

 respond with the nomenclature of the new national 

 Pharmacopoeia. Am. Jour. Med. Sciences, Jan. 1864.
