BLANCHARD & LEA'S MEDICAL 



GRIFFITH (ROBERT E.), M. D., &c. 



A UNIVERSAL FORMULARY, containing the methods of Preparing and Ad- 

 ministering Officinal and other Medicines. The whole adapted to Physicians and Pharmaceu- 

 tists. SECOND EDITION, thoroughly revised, with numerous additions, by ROBERT P. THOMAS, 

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

 handsome octavo volume, of over six hundred pages, double columns. (Just Issued.) 



The speedy exhaustion of a large edition, and the demand for a second, sufficiently show the posi- 

 tion which this work has so rapidly attained as an authoritative and convenient work of reference for 

 the physician and pharmaceutist. The opportunity thus afforded for its improvement has not been 

 neglected. In its revision, Professor Thomas (to whom this task has been confided inconsequence 

 of the death of the author), has spared no labor, in the hope of rendering it the most complete and 

 correct work on the subject as yet presented to the profession All the newly introduced articles 

 of the Materia Medica have been inserted, such formulae as had escaped the attention of the author 

 have been added, and the whole has been most carefully read and examined, to insure the absolute 

 correctness, so indispensable in a work of this nature. The amount of these additions may be esti- 

 mated from the fact that not only has the page been considerably enlarged, but the volume has also 

 been increased by about fifty pages, while the arrangement of the formulae and the general typo- 

 graphical execution will be found to have undergone great improvement. To the practitioner, its 

 copious collection of all the forms and combinations of the articles of the Pharmacopoeia render it 

 an invaluable book of reference, while its very complete embodiment of officinal preparations of aH 

 kinds, derived from all sources, American, English, and Continental, make it an indispensable assist-' 

 tant to the apothecary. 



It was a work requiring much perseverance, and 

 wben published was looked upon as by far the best 

 work of its kind that had issued from the American 

 press, being free of much of the trashy, and embrac- 

 ing most of the non-officinal formulae used or known 

 in American, English, or French practice, arranged 

 under the heads of the several constituent drugs, plac- 

 ing the receipt under its more important constituent. 

 Prof Thoma* has certainly "improved," as well as 

 added io this Formulary, and has rendered it addition- 

 ally deserving of the confidence of pharmaceutists 



and physicians. American Journal of Pharmacy. 



\Ve are happy to announce a new and improved 

 edition of this, one of the most valuable and useful 

 works that have emanated from an American pen. 

 It would do credit to any country, and will be found 

 of daily usefulness to practitioners of medicine; it is 

 better adapted to their purposes than the dispensato- 

 ries. Southern Med. and Surg. Journal. 



A new edition of ihis well-known work, edited by 

 R. P. Thomas, M. D., affords occasion for renewing 

 our commendation of so useful a handbook, which 

 ought to be universally studied by medical men of 

 every class, and made use of by way of reference by 

 office pupils, as a standard authority. It has been 

 much enlarged, and now condenses a vast amount 

 of needful and necessary knowledge in small com- 

 pass. The more of such hooks the belter for the pro- 

 fession and the public. N. Y. Med. Gazette. 



It is one of the mo^t usefil books a country practi- 

 tioner can possibly have in his possession. Mtdical 

 Chronicle. 



The amount of useful, every-day matter, for a prac- 

 ticing physician, is really immense. Boston Mtd. 

 and Surg. Journal. 



This is a work of six hundred and fifty one pages, 

 embracing all on the subject of preparing and admi- 

 nistering medicines that can be desired by the physi- 

 cian and pharmaceutist. Western Lancet. 



In short, it is a full and complete work of the kind, 

 and should be in the hands of every physician and 

 apothecary. O. Med. and Surg. Journal 



We predict a great sale for this work, and we espe- 

 cially recommend it to all medical teachers. Rich- 

 mond Stethoscope. 



This edition of Dr. Griffith's work has been greatly 

 improved by the revision and ample additions of Dr. 

 Thomas, and is now, we believe, one of the most 

 complete works of its kind in any language. The 

 additions amount to about seventy pages, and no 

 ettort has been spared to include in them all the re- 

 cent improvement which have bfcn published in 

 medical journals, and systematic treatises. A work 

 of this kind appears to us indispensable to the physi- 

 cian, and there is none we can more cordially recom- 

 mend. N. Y. Journal of Medicine.

AN ATLAS OF PATHOLOGICAL HISTOLOGY. Translated, with Notes 



and Additions, by JOSEPH LEIDY, M. D., Professor of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylva-

 and colored, on twelve copperplates. 

 This being, as far as we know, the only work in 



Avhieh pathological histology is separately treated 



of in a comprehensive manner, it will, we think, for 



this reason, be of infinite service to those who desire 



to investigate the subject systematically, and who 

 have felt the difficulty of arranging in their mind 



the unconnected observations of a great number of 

 authors. The development of the morbid tissues, 

 and the formation of abnormal products, may now 

 be followed and studied with the same ease and 

 satisfaction as the best arranged system of phy- 

 siology. American Med. Journal.
