ELEMENTS (OK MANUAL) OF PHYSIOLOGY, INCLUDING PHYSIO- 

 LOGICAL ANATOMY. Second American, from a new and revised London edition. With 

 one hundred and ninety illustrations. In one very handsome octavo volume. 



In publishing- the first edition of this work, its title was altered from that of the London volume, 

 by the substitution of the word " Elements 1 ' for that of " Manual," and with the author's sanction 

 the title of " Elements" is still retained as being more expressive of the scope of the treatise. A 

 comparison of the present edition with the former one will show a material improvement, the 

 author having revised it thoroughly, with a view of rendering it completely on a level with the 

 most advanced state of the science. By condensing the less important portions, these numerous 

 additions have been introduced without materially increasing the bulk of the volume, and while 

 numerous illustrations have been added, and the general execution of the work improved, it has 

 been kept at its former very moderate price. 



To say that it is the best manual of Physiology 

 now before the public, would not do sufficient justice 

 to the author. Buffalo Medical Journal. 



In his former works it would seem that he had 

 exhausted the subject of Physiology. In the present, 

 he gives the essence, as it were, of the whole. N. Y, 

 Journal of Medicine. 



Those who have occasion for an elementary trea- 

 tise on Physiology, cannot do better than to possess 

 themselves of the manual of Dr. Carpenter. Medical 

 Examiner.

 Physiology, in one volume, extant in the English 

 language. St. Louis Medical Journal. 



With such an aid in his hand, there is no excuse 

 for the ignorance often displayed respecting the sub- 

 jects of which it treats. From its unpretending di- 

 mensions, it may not be so esteemed by those anxious 

 to make a parade of their erudition ; but whoever 

 masters its contents will have reason to be proud of 

 his physiological acquirements. The illustrations 

 are well selected and finely executed. Dublin Med, 

 Press.

A PRIZE ESSAY ON THE USE OF ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS IN HEALTH

CHRISTISON (ROBERT), M. D., V. P. R. S. E., &c. 



A DISPENSATORY; or. Commentary on the Pharmacopoeias of Great Britain 

 and the United States ; comprising the Natural History, Description, Chemistry, Pharmacy, Ac- 

 tions, Uses, and Doses of the Articles of the Materia Medica. Second edition, revised and im- 

 proved, with a Supplement containing the most important New Remedies. With copious Addi- 

 tions, and two hundred and thirteen large wood-engravings. By R. EGLESFELD GRIFFITH, M. D. 

 In one very large and handsome octavo volume, of over 1000 pages. 



It is not needful that we should compare it with 

 the other pharmacopeias extant, which enjoy and 

 merit the confidence of the profession : it is enough 

 ro say that it appears to us as perfect as a Dispensa- 

 tory, in the present state of pharmaceutical science, 

 could be made. If it omits any details pertaining to 

 this branch of knowledge which the student has a 

 right to expect in such a work, we confess the omis- 

 sion has escaped our scrutiny. We cordially recom- 

 mend this work to such of our readers as are in need 

 of a Dispensatory. They cannot make choice of a 

 better. Western Journ. of Medicine and Surgery. 



There is not in any language a more complete and 

 perfect Treatise. N. Y. Annalist. 



In conclusion, we need scarcely say that we 

 strongly recommend this work to all classes of our 

 readers. As a Dispensatory and commentary on the 

 Pharmacopoeias, it is unrivalled in the English or 

 any other language. The Dublin Quarterly Journal . 



We earnestly recommend Dr. Christison's Dis- 

 pensatory to all our readers, as an indispensable 

 companion, not in the Study only, but in theSurgety 

 alao. British and Foreign Medical Review.
