MOHR, REDWOOO, AND PROCTERS PHARMACY.- Lately Issued. 



PEACTICAL"PHAEMACY. 



COMPRISING THE ARRANGEMENTS, APPARATUS, AND MANIPULATIONS OF THE 

 PHARMACEUTICAL SHOP AND LABORATORY. 



BY FRANCIS MOHR, PH. D., 

 Assessor Pharmaeiee of the Royal Prussian College of Medicine, Coblentz; 



AND THEOPHILUS REDWOOD, 

 Professor of Pharmacy in the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. 



EDITED, WITH EXTENSIVE ADDITIONS, BY PROFESSOR WILLIAM PROCTER, 



Of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. 

 In one handsomely printed octavo volume, of 570 pages, with over 500 engravings on wood. 



To physicians in the country, and those at a distance from competent pharmaceutists, as well as 

 to apothecaries, this work will be found of great value, as embodying much important information 

 which is to be met with in no other American publication. 



After a pretty thorough examination, we can recommend it as a highly useful hook, which should 

 be in the hands of every apothecary. Although no instruction of this kind will enable the beginner to 

 acquire that practical skill and readiness which experience only can confer, we believe that this work will 

 much facilitate their acquisition, by indicating means for the removal of difficulties as they occur, and sug- 

 gesting methods of operation in conducting pharmaceutic processes which the experimenter would only 

 hit upon after many unsuccessful trials; while there are few pharmaceutists, of however extensive expe- 

 rience, who will not find in it valuable hints that they can turn to use in conducting the affairs of the shop 

 and laboratory. The mechanical execution of the work is in a style of unusual excellence. It contains 

 about five hundred and seventy large octavo pages, handsomely printed on good paper, and illustrated by 

 over five hundred remarkably well executed wood-cuts of chemical and pharmaceutical apparatus. It 

 comprises the whole of Mohr and Redwood's book, as published in London, rearranged and classified by 

 the American editor, who has added much valuable new matter, which has increased the size of the book 

 more than one- fourth, including about one hundred additional wood-cuts. The American Journ. of Pharmacy. 



It is a book, however, which will be in the hands of almost every one who is much interested in pharma- 

 ceutical operations, as we know of no other publication so well calculated to fill a void long felt. The Medi- 

 cal Examiner. 



The country practitioner who is obliged to dispense his own medicines, will find it a most valuable assist- 

 ant. Monthly Journal and Retrospect. 



The book is strictly practical, and describes only manipulations or methods of performing the numerous 

 processes the pharmaceutist has to go through, in the preparation and manufacture of medicines, together 

 with all the apparatus and fixtures necessary thereto. On these matters, this work is very full and com- 

 plete, and details, in a style uncommonly clear and lucid, not only the more complicated and difficult pro- 

 cesses, but those not less important ones, the most simple and common. The volume is an octavo of five 

 hundred and seventy-six pages. It is elegantly illustrated with a multitude of neat wood engravings, and 

 is unexceptionable in its whole typographical appearance and execution. We take great satisfaction in 

 commending this so much needed treatise, not only to those for whom it is more specially designed, but to 

 the medical profession generally to every one, who, in his practice, has occasion to prepare, as well as ad- 

 minister medical agents. Buffalo MedicalJournal.

 the very earliest period, into our medical schools, and occupy a place in the library of every physician in the 

 land. Southwestern Medical Advocate.
