A TREATISE ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF 



MEDICINE ; designed for the use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine. Second 

 edition, revised and enlarged. In one large and closely printed octavo volume of nearly 

 1000 pages; handsome extra cloth, $6 50; or strongly bound in leather, with raised bands, 

 $750. (Now Ready.) 



From the Preface to the Second Edition. 



Four months after the publication of this treatise, the author was notified that a second edition 

 was called for. The speedy exhaustion of the first edition, unexpected in view of its large size, 

 naturally intensified the desire to make the work still more acceptable to practitioners and 

 students of Medicine; and, notwithstanding the brief period allowed for a revision, additions 

 have been made which, it is believed, will enhance the practical utility of the volume. The por- 

 tion treating of Pyaemia has been rewritten; three affections, omitted in the first edition, have 

 been introduced, viz., Pertussis, General Cerebral Paralysis, and Polyuria; Epidemic Cholera 

 has been considered at greater length; the thermometric phenomena of disease have received 

 taller consideration, and, in connection with many affections, there has been added new matter, 

 much of which relates to special therapeutics. 



We consider the book, in all its essentials, as the 

 best adapted to the student of any of our numerous 

 text-books on this subject. N. T. Medical Journal, 

 Jan. 1867. 



Its terse conciseness fully redeems it from being 

 ranked among heavy and common-place works, while 

 the unmistakable way in which Dr. Flint gives his 

 own views is quite refreshing, and far from common. 

 It is a book of enormous research ; the writer is evi- 

 dently a man of observation and large experience ; 

 his views are practically sonnd and theoretically 

 moderate, and we have no hesitation in commending 

 his magnum opus to oar readers Dublin Medical 

 Press and Circular, May 16, 1866. 



We are happy to think that this object is- very suc- 

 cessfully attained in the work before us. Solid, com- 

 pact, yet clear, it adequately represents the present 

 condition of practical medicine as it could be done 

 only by a physician who unites to scientific culture 

 a large and well-digested experience in the clinical 

 study of medicine. Am. Journal Medical Sciences, 

 July, 1866. 



In the plan of the work and the treatment of indi- 

 vidual subjects' there is a freshness and an originality 

 which make it worthy of the study of practitioners 

 as well as students. It is, indeed, an admirable book, 

 and highly creditable to American medicine. For 

 clearness and conciseness in style, for careful reason- 

 ing upon what is known, for lucid distinction between 

 what we know and what we do not know, between 

 what nature does in disease and what the physician 

 can do and should, for richness in good clinical ob- 

 servation, for independence of statement and opinion 

 on great points of practice, and for general sagacity 

 and good judgment, the work is most meritorious. 

 It is singularly rich in good qualities, and free from 

 faults. London Lancet, June 23, 1866. 



We have no hesitation in expressing a favorable 

 opinion of it. London Medical Times and Gazette, 

 June 23, 1866 



For terseness, simplicity and distinctness of style, 

 comprehensiveness of scope, and cool, impartial and 

 well-balanced judgment in the examination of dis- 

 puted questions, it has no superior we are tempted 



than those of any medical book we know of, and yoir 

 get their meaning at .a glance. Every sentence gives 

 you a distinct idea. Pacific Medical and Surgical 

 Journal, June, 1866. 



A book of inestimable value, as the recorded expe- 

 rience of one of the clearest and best educated minds 

 ever devoted to the theory and practice of medicine. 

 Dr. Flint's THEORY AND PBACTICE OF MEDICINB will 

 be eagerly perused by all our readers will be re- 

 garded as the BIBI,E of practical medicine. Buffalo 

 Med. and Surg. Journal, May, 1866. 



In following out such a plan Dr. Flint has suc- 

 ceeded most admirably, and gives to his readers a 

 work that is not only very readable, interesting, 

 and concise, but in every respect calculated to meet 

 the requirements of professional men of every class. 

 The student has presented to him, in the plainest 

 possible manner, the symptoms of disease, the prin- 

 ciples which should guide him in its treatment, and 

 the difficulties which have to be surmounted in order 

 to arrive at a correct diagnosis. The practitioner, 

 besides having such aids, has offered to him the eon- 

 elusion which the experience of the professor has 

 enabled him to arrive at in reference to the relative 

 merits of different therapeutical agents, and different 

 methods of treatment. This new work, as a whole, 

 will add not a little to the well-earned reputation of 

 Prof. Flint as a medical writer and teacher. The 

 number of years in which he has been engaged in the 

 active duties of his profession, both in public and 

 private life, have given him an amount of experi- 

 ence which has eminently fitted him for the produc- 

 tion of a work which must necessarily extend over 

 such a wide range of subjects. We cannot see how it 

 can fail to meet with universal favor. N. Y. Mcc. 

 Record, April 2, 1866. 



The Practice of Medicine of Prof. Flint is, un- 

 doubtedly, a most excellent work, and is much better 

 suited to the special needs of the American student 

 and practitioner than any other accessible fro them. 

 We predict for the book a very great, and, as we be- 

 lieve, well deserved popularity. Cincinnati Jrmr- 

 nal of Medicine, March, 1866.
