FERGUSSON (WILLIAM), F. R. S., 



Professor of Surgery in King's College, London, &c. 



A SYSTEM OF PRACTICAL SURGERY. Fourth American, from the third 



and enlarged London edition. la one large and beautifully printed octavo volume, of about seven 

 hundred pages, with three hundred and ninety-three handsome illustrations. (Just Issued.} 



The most important subjects in connection with 

 practical surgery which have been more recently 

 brought under the notice of, and discussed by, the 

 Burgeons of Great Britain, are fully and dispassion- 

 ately consideted by Mr. Fergusson, and that which 

 'was before wanting has now been supplied, so that 

 we can now look upon it as a work on practical sur- 

 gery instead of one on operative surgery alone. 

 There was some ground formerly for the complaint 

 before alluded to, that it. dwelt too exclusively on 

 operative surgery ; but this defect is now removed, 

 and the book is more than ever adapted for the pur- 

 poses of the practitioner, whether he confines him- 

 self more strictly to the operative department, or 

 follows surgery on a more comprehensive scale.

No work was ever written which more nearly 

 comprehended the necessities of the student and 

 practitioner, and was more carefully arranged to 

 that single purpose than this. IV. Y. Med. and Surg. 

 Journal. 



The addition of many new pages makes this work 

 more than ever indispensable to the student and prac- 

 titioner. Nanking's Abstract. 



Among the numerous works upon surgery pub- 

 lished of late years, we know of none we value 

 more highly than the one before us. It is perhaps 

 the very best we have for a text-book and for ordi- 

 nary reference, being concise and eminently practi- 

 cal. Southern Med. and Surg. Journal. 



GRAHAM (THOMAS), F. R. S., 



Professor of Chemistry in University College, London, &c. 



THE ELEMENTS OF CHEMISTRY. Including the application of the Science 

 to the Arts. With numerous illustrations. With Notes and Additions, by ROBERT BRIDGES, 

 M. D., &c. &c. Second American, from the second and enlarged London edition 

 PART I. (Lately Issued") large 8vo., 430 pages, 185 illustrations. 

 PART II. (Preparing) to match. 



The great changes which the science of chemistry has undergone within the last few years, ren- 

 der a new edition of a treatise like the present, almost a new work. The author has devoted 

 several years to the revision of his treatise, and has endeavored to embody in it every fact and 

 inference of importance which has been observed and recorded by the great body of chemical 

 investigators who are so rapidly changing the face of the science. In this manner the work has 

 been greatly increased in size, and the number of illustrations doubled ; while the labors of the editor 

 have been directed towards the introduction of such matters as have escaped the attention of the 

 author, or as have arisen since the publication of the first portion of this edition in London, in 1850. 

 Printed in handsome style, and at a very low price, it is therefore confidently presented to the pro- 

 fession and the student as a very complete and thorough text-book of this important subject. 



GRIFFITH (ROBERT E.), M. D., &c. 



A UNIVERSAL FORMULARY, containing the methods of Preparing and Ad- 

 ministering Officinal and other Medicines. The whole adapted to Physicians and Pharmaceu- 

 tists. SECOND EDITION, thoroughly revised, with numerous additions, by ROBERT P. THOMAS, 

 M. D., Professor of Materia Medica in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. In one large and 

 handsome octavo volume, of over six hundred pages, double columns. (Just Issued.) 



It is one of the most "sefil books a country practi- 

 tioner can possibly have in his possession. Mtdical 

 Chronicle. 



The amount of useful, every-day matter, for a prac- 

 ticing: physician, is really immense. Boston Med. 

 and Surg. Journal. 



This is a work of six hundred and fifty one pages, 

 embracing all on the subject of preparing and admi- 

 nistering medicines that can be desired by the physi- 

 cian and pharmaceutist. Western Lancet. 



In short, it is a full and complete work of the kind, 

 and should be in the hands of every physician and 

 apothecary. O. Med. and Surg. Journal. 



We predict a great sale for this work, and we espe- 

 ciallv recommend it to all medical teachers. Rich' 

 mond Stethoscope. 



This edition of Dr. Griffith's work has been greatly 

 improved by the revision and ample additions of Dr. 

 Thomas, and is now, we believe, one of the most 

 .complete works of its kind in any language. The 

 additions amount to about seventy pages, and no 

 effort has been spared to include in them all the re- 

 cent improvements which have been published in 

 medical journals, and systematic treatises. A. work 

 of this kind appears to us indispensable lo the physi- 

 cian, and there is none we can more cordially recom- 

 mend. N. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



It was a work requiring much perseverance, and 

 when published was looked upon as by far the best 

 work of its kind that had issued from the American 

 press, being free of much of the trashy, and embrac- 

 ing most of thf non-officinal formulae used or known 

 in American, English, or French practice, arranged 

 under the heiidsof the several constituent drug', plac- 

 ing the receipt under its more important constituent. 

 Prof Thoma< has certainly "improved," as well as 

 added :o this Formulary, and has rendered it addition- 

 ally deserving of the confidence of pharmaceutists 

 and physicians. American Journal of Pharmacy. 



We are happy to announce a new and improved 

 edition of this, one of the most valuable and useful 

 works that have emanated from an American pen. 

 It would do credit to any country, and will be found 

 of daily u-ef"ulness to practitioners of medicine; it is 

 better adapted to iheir purposes than the dispensato 

 ries. Southern Med. and Surg. Journal. 



A new edition of ihis well-known work, edited by 

 R. P. Thomas, M D., affords occasion for renewing 

 our commendation of so useful a handbook, which 

 ought to be universally studied by medical men of 

 every das*, and made use of by way of reference by 

 office pupils, as a standard authority. It has been 

 much enlarged, and now condenses a vast amount 

 of needful and necessary knowledge in small com- 

 pass. The more of such books ihe better for the pro- 

 fession and the public. N. Y. Med. Gazette.
