GRIFFITH'S MEDICAL FORMULARY (Continued.) 



From a vast number of commendatory notices, the publishers select a few. 



A valuable acquisition to the medical practitioner, and a useful book of reference to the apothecary on 

 numerous? occasions American Journal of Pharmacy. 



Dr. Griffith's Formulary is worthy of recommendation, not only on account of the care which has been 

 bestowed on it by its estimable author, but for its general accuracy, and the richness of its details. Medical 

 Examiner. 



Most cordially we recommend this Universal Formulary, not forgetting its adaptation to druggists and 

 apothecaries, who would find themselves vastly improved by a familiar acquaintance with tnis every-day 

 book of medicine. The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. 



Pre-eminent among the best and most useful compilations of the present day will be found the work before 

 us, which can have been produced only at a very great cost of thoughi and labor. A short description will 

 suffice toshow that we do not puttoo high an estimate on this work. We are not cognizant of the existence 

 of a parallel work. Its value will be apparent to our readers from the sketch of its contents above given. 



We strongly recommend it to all who are engaged either in practical medicine, or more exclusively with 

 its literature. London Medical Gazette. 



A very useful work, and a most complete compendium on the subject of materia medica. We know of no 

 work in our language, or any other, so comprehensive in all its details London Lancet. 



The vast collection of formula} which is offered by the compiler of this volume, contains a large number 

 which will be new to English practitioners, some of them from the novelty of their ingredients, and others 

 from the unaccustomed mode in which they are combined ; and we doubt not that several of these might be 

 advantageously brought into use. The authority for every formula is given, and the list includes a very nu- 

 merous assemblage of Continental, as well as of British and American writers of repute. It is, therefore. 

 a work to which every practitioner may advantageously resort for hints to increase his stock of remedies 

 and of forms of prescription. 



The other indices facilitate reference to every article in the "Formulary;" and they appear to have been 

 drawn up with the same care as that which the author has evidently bestowed on every part of the work. 

 The British and Foreign Medico- Chirurgical Revieiv. 



The work before us is all that it professes to be. viz.: " a compendious collection of formula and pharma- 

 ceutic processes." It is such a work as was much needed, and should be in the hands of every practitioner 

 who is in the habit of compounding medicines Transylvania Medical Journal. 



This seems to be a very comprehensive work, so far as the range of its articles and combinations is con- 

 cerned, with a commendable degree of brevity and condensation in their explanation. 



It cannot fail to be a useful and convenient book of reference to the two classes of persons to whom it 

 particularly commends itself in the title-page. The N. W. Medical and Surgical Journal 



It contains so much information that we very cheerfully recommend it to the profession. Charleston Med. 

 Journal. 



Well adapted to supply the actual wants of a numerous and varied class of persons. N. Y. Journal of 

 Medicine.
