PARRISH (EDWARD], 



Late Professor of Materia Medica in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. 



A TREATISE ON PHARMACY. Designed as a Text-Book for the 



Student, and as a Guide for the Physician and Pharmaceutist. With many Formulae and 

 Prescriptions. Fourth Edition, thoroughly revised, by THOMAS S. WIEGAND. In one 

 handsome octavo volume of 977 pages, with 280 illustrations; cloth, $5 50; leather, $6 50. 

 (Just Issued.) 



The delay in the appearance of the new U. S. Pharmacopoeia, and the sudden death of the au 

 thor, have postponed the preparation of this new edition beyond the period expected. The notes 

 and memoranda left by Mr. Parrish have been placed in the hands of the editor, Mr. Wiegand, 

 who has labored assiduously to embody in the work all the improvements of pharmaceutical sci- 

 ence which have been introduced during he last ten years. It is therefore hoped that the new 

 edition will fully maintain the reputation which the volume has heretofore enjoyed as a standard 

 text-book and work of reference for all engaged in the preparation and dispensing of medicines.

The work is eminently practical, and has the rare 

 merit of being readable and interesting, while it pre- 

 serves a striciJy scientific character. The whole work 

 reflects the greatest credit on author, editor, and pub- 

 lisher It will convey some idea of i he liberality which 

 has been bestowed upon its production when we men- 

 tion that there are no less than 2SO carefully executed 

 illustrations. In conclusion, we heartily recommend 

 the work, not only to pharmacists, but also to the 

 multitude of medical practitioners who are obliged 

 to compound their own medicines. It will ever hold 



work, and have no doubt that it will maintain its 

 old reputation as a text book for the student, and a 

 work of reference for the more experienced physi- 

 cian and pharmacist . Chicago Med. Examiner, 

 June 1-3, 1874. 



Perhaps one, if not the most important book upon 

 pharmacy which has appeared in the English lan- 

 guage has emanated from the transatlantic press.

 Thanks to the judicious editing of Mr. Wiegaiid, the

THERAPEUTICS AND MATERIA MEDICA; a Systematic Treatise 



on the Action and Uses of Medicinal Agents, including their Description and History. 



Fourth edit., revised and enlarged. In two large and handsome 8vo. vols. of about 2000 



pages. Cloth, $10; leather, $12. (Now Ready.) 



The care bestowed by the author on the revision of this edition has kept the work out of th e 

 market for nearly two years, and has increased its size about two hundred and fifty pages. Not" 

 withstanding this enlargement, the price has been kept at the former very moderate rate. A few 

 notices of former editions are subjoined.

The rapid exhaustion of two editions of Prof. Stille'n
