ESSENTIALS OF THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MEDI- 



CINE. A handy-book for Students and Practitioners. Fourth edition, revised and im- 

 proved. With about one hundred illustrations. In one handsome royal 12mo. volume, 

 of about 550 pages, cloth, $2 63 ; half bound, $2 88. (Just Ready.) 



The thorough manner in which the author has labored to fully represent in this favorite hand- 

 book the most advanced condition of practical medicine is shown by the fact that the present 

 edition contains more than 250 additions, representing the investigations of 172 authors not re- 

 ferred to in previous editions. Notwithstanding an enlargement of the page, the size has been 

 increased by sixty pages. A number of illustrations have been introduced which it is hoped 

 will facilitate the comprehension of details by the reader, and no effort has been spared to make 

 the volume worthy a continuance of the very great favor with which it has hitherto been received. 

 The work is brought fully up with all the recent j Without doubt the best hook of tLekind published

We have already had occasion to notice the previ-

The aims of this handbook are purely practical, and therefore it has not been thought right 

 to increase its size by the addition of the chemical, botanical, and industrial learning which 

 rapidly collects round the nucleus of every nrticle interesting as an eatable. Space has been 

 thus gained for a full discussion of many matters connecting food and drink with the daily cur- 

 rent of social life, which the position of the author as a practising physician has led him to 

 believe highly important to the present and future of our race. Preface.
