A UNIVERSAL FORMULARY, Containing the Methods of Prepar- 

 ing and Administering Officinal and other Medicines. The whole adapted to Physician* and 

 Pharmaceutists. Third edition, thoroughly revised, with numerous additions, bj JOHN M. 

 MAISCH, Professor of Materia Medica in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. In one large 

 andhandsome octavo volume of aboutSOO pages, cloth, $4 50 ; leather, $5 50. (Just Issued.) 

 This work has long been known for the vast amount of information which it presents in a con- 

 densed form, arranged for easy reference. The new edition has received the most careful revi- 

 sion at the competent hands of Professor Maisch, who has brought the whole up to the standard of 

 the most recent authorities. More than eighty new headings of remedies have been introduced, 

 the entire work has been thoroughly remodelled, and whatever has seemed to be obsolete has been 

 omitted. As a comparative view of the United States, the British, the German, and the French 

 Pharmacopoeias, together with an immense amount of unofficinal formulas, it affords to the prac- 

 titioner and pharmaceutist an aid in their daily avocations not to be found elsewhere, while three 

 indexes, one of "Diseases and their Remedies," one of Pharmaceutical Names, and a General 

 Index, afford an easy key to the alphabetical arrangement adopted in the text. 



The young practitioner will find the work invalu- 

 able in suggesting eligible modes of administering 

 many remedies. Am. Journ. of Pharm., Feb. 1874. 



Our copy of Griffith's Formulary, after long use, 

 first in the dispensing shop, and afterwards in our 

 medical practice, had gradually fallen behind in the 

 onward march of materia medica, pharmacy, and 

 therapeutics, until we had ceased to consult it as a 

 daily book of reference. So completely has Prof. 

 Maisch reformed, remodelled, and rejuvenated it in 

 the new edition, we shall gladly welcome it back to 

 our table again beside Duuglison, Webster, and Wood 

 & Bache. The publisher could not have been more 

 fortunate in the selection of an editor. Prof. Maisch 

 is eminently the man for the work, and he has done 

 it thoroughly and ably. To enumerate the altera- 

 tions, amendments, and additions would be an end- 

 less task; everywhere we are greeted with the evi- 

 dences of his labor. Following the Formulary, is an 

 addendum of useful Recipes, Dietetic Preparations, 

 List of Incompatibles, Posological table, table of 

 Pharmaceutical Names, Officinal Preparations and 

 Directions, Poisons. Antidotes and Treatment, and 

 copious indices, which afford ready access to all parts 

 of the work. We unhesitatingly commend the book 

 as being the best of its kind, within our knowledge. 

 Atlanta Med. and Surg. Journ., Feb. 1874. 



To the druggist a good formulary is simply indis- 

 pensable, and perhaps no formulary has been more 

 extensively used than the well-known work before 

 us. Many physicians have to officiate, also, as drug- 

 gists. This is true especially of the country physi- 

 cian, and a work which shall teach him the means 

 by which to administer or combine his remedies in 

 the most efficacious and pleasant manner, will al- 

 ways hold its place upon his shelf. A formulary of 

 this kind is of benefit also to the city physician in 

 largest practice. Cincinnati Vlinic, Feb. 21, 1874. 



The Formulary has already proved itself accepta- 

 ble to the medical profession, and we do not hesitate 

 to say that the third edition is much improved, and 

 of greater practical value, in consequence of the care- 

 ful revision of Prof Maisch. Chicago Med. Exam- 

 iner, March 15, 1874. 



A more complete formulary than it is in its pres- 

 ent form the pharmacist or physician, could hardly 

 desire. To the first some such work is indispensa- 

 ble, and it is hardly less essential to the practitioner 

 who compounds his own madiciaes. Much of what 

 is contained in the introduction^ought to be com- 

 mitted to memory by every student of inedijiae. 

 As a help to physiciaus it will be found invaluable, 

 and doubtless will make its way into libraries not 

 already supplied with a standard work of the kind.
