THE SCIENCE AND ART OF SURGERY; BEING A TREATISE ON SURGICAL 



INJURIES, DISEASES, AND OPERATIONS. Edited by JOHN H. BRINTON, M. D. Illustrated with 

 three hundred and eleven engravings on wood. In one large and handsome octavo volume, of 

 over nine hundred closely printed pages. (Just Issued.) 



It is. in our humble judgment, decidedly the best 

 book of the kind in the English language. Strange 

 that just such books are not oftener produced by pub- 

 lic teacher* of surgery in this country and Great 

 Britain. Indeed, it is a matter of great astonishment, 

 but no less true than astonishing, that of the many 

 work? on surgery republished in this country within 

 the last fifteen or twenty years as text-books for 

 medical student?, this is the only one, that even ap- 

 proximates to the fulfilment of the peculiar wants of 

 young men just entering upon the study of this branch 

 of ihe profession. Western Jour . of Med. and Surgery. 



Embracing, as will be perceived, the whole surgi- 

 cal domain, and each division of itself almost com- 

 plete and perfect, each chapter full and explicit, each 

 subject faithfully exhibited, we can only express our 

 extimate of it in the aggregate. We consider it an 

 excellent contribution to surgery, as probably the 

 best single volume now extant on the subject, and 

 with great pleasure we add it to our. text books 

 Nashville Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



Its value is greatly enhanced by a very copious 

 well-arraneed index. We regard this as one of the 

 most valuable contributions to modern surgery. To 

 one entering his novitiate of practice, we regard it 



the most serviceable guide which he can consult. He 

 will find a fulness of detail leading him through every 

 step of the operation, and not deserting him until the 

 final issue of the case is decided. For the same, rea- 

 son we recommend it to those whose routine of prac- 

 tice lies in such parts of the country that they must 

 rarely encounter cases requiring surgical manage- 

 ment. Stethoscope. 



Prof. Erichsen's work, for its size, has not been 

 surpassed; his nine hundred and eight pages, pro- 

 fusely illustrated, are rich in physiological, patholo- 

 gical, and operative suggestions, doctrines, details, 

 and processes; and will prove a reliable resource 

 for information, both to physician and surgeon, in the 

 hour of peril. N. 0. Med. and Surg. Journal. 



We are acquainted with no other work wherein 

 so much good t sense, sound principle, and practical 

 inferences, stamp every page. To say more of the 

 volume would be useless ; to say less would be doing 

 injustice to a production which we consider above 

 all others at the present day, and superior and more 

 complete than the many excellent treatises of the 

 Bnglikh and Scotch surgeons, and this is no small 

 encomium. American Lancet. 



ELLIS (BENJAMIN), M.D. 

 THE MEDICAL FORMULARY : being a Collection of Prescriptions, derived 



from the writings and practice of many of the most eminent physicians of America and Europe. 

 Together with the usual Dietetic Preparations and Antidotes for Poisons. To which is added 

 an Appendix, on the Endermic use of Medicines, and on the use of Ether and Chloroform. The 

 whole accompanied with a few brief Pharmaceutic and Medical Observations. Tenth edition, 

 revised and much extended by ROBERT P. THOMAS, M. D., Professor of Materia Medica in the 

 Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. In one neat octavo volume, of two hundred and ninety-six 

 pages. (Lately Issued.) 



It will prove particularly useful to students and 

 young practitioners, as the most important prescrip- 

 tions employed in modern practice, which lie scat- 



After an examination of the new matter and the 

 alterations, we believe the reputation of the work 

 built up by the author, and the late distinguished 



built up by te author, and the late distinguished 

 editor, will continue to flourish under the auspices 

 of the present editor, who has the industry and accu-

FOWNES (GEORGE), PH. D., &c. 

 ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY; Theoretical and Practical. With numerous 



illustrations. A new American, from the last and revised London edition. Edited, with Addi- 

 tions, by ROBERT BRIDGES, M. D. In one large royal 12mo. volume, of over 550 pages, with 181 

 wood-cuts, sheep, or extra cloth. (Now Ready.) 



The lamented death of the author has caused the revision of this edition to pass into the hands of 

 ihose distinguished chemists, H. Bence Jones and A. W. Hofmann, who have fully sustained its 

 reputation by the additions which they have made, more especially in the portion devoted to Organic 

 Chemistry, considerably increasing the size of the volume. This labor has been so thoroughly 

 performed, that the American Editor has found but little to add, his notes consisting chiefly of such 

 matters as the rapid advance of the science has rendered necessary, or of investigations which had 

 apparently been overlooked by the author's friends. 



The volume is therefore again presented as an exponent of the most advanced slate of chemical 

 science, and as not unworthy a continuation of the marked favor which it has received as an ele- 

 mentary text-book. 



We know of no better text-hook, especially in the 

 difficult department of organic chemistry, upon 

 which it is particularly full and satisfactory. We 

 would recommend it to preceptors as a capital 

 " office book" for their students who are beginners 

 in Chemistry. It is copiously illustrated with ex- 

 cellent wood-cuts, and altogether admirably "got

A standard manual, which has long enjoyed the 

 reputation of embodying much knowledge in a small 

 space. The author hasachieved the difficult task of 

 condensation with masterly tact. His book is con-

 dogmatical or general. Virginia Med. and Surgical 

 Journal. 



The work of Dr. Fownes has long been before 

 the public, and its merits have been fully appreci- 

 ated as the best text-book on chemistry now in 

 existence. We do not, of course, place it in a r:mk 



course, place it in a rank 

 rande, Graham, Turner, 



superior to the works of B 



Gregory, or Gmelin, but we say that, as a work 

 for students, it is preferable to any of them. Lon- 

 don Journal of Medicine, 



A work well adapted to the wants of the student. 

 It is an excellent exposition of the chief doctrines 

 and facts of modern chemistry. The size of the work, 

 and still more the condensed yet perspicuous style 

 in which it is written, absolve it from the charges 

 very properly urged against most manuals termed 

 popular. Edinburgh, Monthly Journal of Meiical 

 Science.
