BLANCHARD & LEA'S MEDICAL 



ELLIS (BENJAMIN;, M.D. 



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 and Chloroform. The 

 whole accompanied with a few brief Pharmaceutic and Medical Observations. Tenth edition, 

 revised and much extended by ROBERT P. THOMAS, M. D., Professor of Materia Medica in the 

 Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. In one neat octavo volume, of two hundred and ninety-six 

 pages. (Now Ready. Revised and enlarged to 1854.) 



This work has received a very complete revision at the hands of the editor, who has made what- 

 ever alterations and additions the progress of medical and pharmaceutical science has rendered ad- 

 visable, introducing fully the new remedial agents, and revising the whole by the latest improvements 

 of the Pharmacopoeia. To accommodate these additions, the size of the page has been increased, 

 and the volume itself considerably enlarged, while every effort has been made to secure the typo- 

 graphical accuracy which has so'long merited the confidence of the profession. 



After an examination of the new matter and the 

 alterations, we believe the reputation of the work 

 built up by the author, and the late distinguished 

 editor, will continue to flourish under the auspices 

 of the present editor, who has the industry and accu- 

 racy, tmd, we would say, conscientiousness requi- 

 site for the responsible task. American Journal of 

 Pharmacy, March, 1854. 



It will prove particularly useful to students ami 

 young practitioners, as the most important prescrip- 

 tions employed in modern practice, which lie scat- 

 tered through our medical literature, are here col- 

 lected and conveniently arranged for reference.

THE SCIENCE AND ART OF SURGERY; BEING A TREATISE ON SURGICAL 



INJURIES, DISEASKS, AND OPERATIONS. Edited by JOHN H. BRINTON, M. D. Illustrated with 

 three hundred and eleven engravings on wood. In one large and handsome octavo volume, oi 

 over nine hundred closely printed pages. (Now Ready.) 



This is a new work, brought up to May, 1854. 

 It is, in our humble judgment, decidedly the best 

 hook of the kind in the English language. Strange 

 that just such books are notoftener produced by pub- 



lie teachers of surgery in this country and Great 

 Britain. Indeed, it is a malterof great astonishment, 

 but no less true than astonishing, that of the many 

 works on surgery republished in this country within 

 1he last fifteen or twenty years as text-books for 

 medical stuiients, this is the only one, that even ap- 

 proximates to the fulfilment of the peculiar wants of 

 youngrneri jusi entermgupon the study of this branch 

 of the profession. Western Jour . of Med. and Surgery. 

 Embracing, as will be perceived, the whole surgi- 

 cal domain, and each division of itself almost com- 

 plete and perfect, each chapter full and explicit, each 

 subject faithfully exhibited, we can only express our 

 extirnate of it in the aggregate. We consider it an 

 excellent contribution to surgery, as probably the 

 best single volume now extant on the subject, and 

 with great pleasure we add it to our texi books 

 Nashville Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



Its value is greatly enhanced by a very copious 

 well-arranged index. We regard this as one of the 

 most valuable contributions to modern surgery. To 

 one entering his novitiate of practice, we regard it 

 the most serviceable guide which he can consult. He 

 will find a fulness of detail leading him through every 

 step of the operation, and not deserting him until ihe 

 final issue of the case is decided. For the same rea- 

 son we recommend it to those whose routine of prac- 

 tice lies in such parts of the country that they mast 

 rarely encounter cases requiring surgical manage- 

 ment. Stethoscope. 



Prof. Erichsen's work, for its size, has not been 

 surpassed ; his nine hundred and eight pages, pro- 

 fa*e)y illustrated, are rich in physiological, patholo- 

 gical, and operative suggestions, doctrines, details, 

 and processes; and will prove a reliable resource 

 for information, both to physician and surgeon, in the 

 hour of peril. N. 0. Med. and Surg. Journal. 



FERGUSSON (WILLIAM), F. R. S., 



Professor of Surgery in King's College, London, &e. 



A SYSTEM OF PRACTICAL SURGERY. Fourth American, from the third 



and enlarged London edition. In one large and beautifully printed octavo volume, of about seven 

 hundred pages, with three hundred and ninety-three handsome illustrations. (Just Issued.) 



The most important subjects in connection with 

 practical surgery which have been more recently 

 brought under the notice of, and discussed by, the 

 surgeons of Great Britain, are fully and dispassion- 

 ately considered by Mr. Fergusson, and that which 

 was before wanting has now been supplied, so that 

 we can now look upon it as a work on practical sur- 

 gery instead of one on operative surgery alone. And 

 we think the author has shown a wise discretion in 

 making the additions on surgical disease which are 

 to be found in the present volume, and has very 

 much enhanced its value; for, besides two elaborate 

 chapters on the diseases of bones and joints, which 

 were wanting before, he has headed each chief sec- 

 tion of the work by a general description of the sur- 

 gical disease and injury of that region of the body 

 which is treated of in each, prior to entering into the 

 consideration of the more special morbid conditions 

 and their treatment. There is also, as in former 

 editions, a sketch of the anatomy of particular re- 

 gions. There was some ground formerly for the 

 complaint before alluded to, that it dwelt too exclu- 



sively on operative surgery ; but this defect is now 

 removed, and the book is more than ever adapted for 

 the purposes of the practitioner, whether he confines 

 himself more strictly to the operative department, 

 or follows surgery on a more comprehensive scale.

No work was ever written which more nearly 

 comprehended the necessities of the student and 

 practitioner, and was more carefully arranged to 

 that single purpose than this. 2V. Y. Med. and Surg.

The addition of many new pages makes this work 

 more than ever indispensable to the student and prac- 

 titioner. Ranking's Abstract. 



Among the numerous works upon surgery pub- 

 lished of late years, we know of none we value 

 more highly than the one before us. It is perhaps 

 the very best we have for a text-book and for ordi- 

 nary reference, being concise and eminently practi- 

 cal. Sou them Med. and Surg. Journal.
