It is unnecessary to do much more than to an- 

 nounce the appearance of the fourth edition of this 

 well known aud excellent work. Brit, and For. 

 Med.-Chir. Review, Oct. 1875. 



For all who desire a complete work on therapeutics 

 and materia medicafor reference, in casesinvolving 

 medico-legal questions, as well as for information 

 concerning remedial agents, Dr. Still6's is ''"par ex- 

 cellence" the work. The work being out of print, by 

 the exhaustion of former editions, the author has laid 

 the profession under renewed obligations, by the 

 careful revision, importantadditions, and timely re 

 issuing a work not exactly supplemented by any 

 other in the English language, if in any language. 

 The mechanical execution handsomely sustains the 

 well-known skill and good taste of the publisher. 

 St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal, Dec. 1874. 



From the publication of the first edition "Still^'s 

 Therapeutics" has been one of the classics; its ab- 

 sence from our libraries would create a vacuum 

 which could be filled by no other work in the lan- 

 guage, and its presence supplies, in the two volumes 



of the present edition, a whole cyclopaedia of thera- 

 peutics. Chicago Medical Journal, Feb. 1875. 



The rapid exhaustion of three editions and the uni- 

 versal favor with which the work has been received 

 by the medical profession, are sufficient proof of its 

 excellence as a repertory of practical and useful in- 

 formation for the physician. The edition before us 

 fully sustains this verdict, as the work has been care- 

 fully revised and in some portions rewritten, bring- 

 ing it up to the present time by the admission of 

 chloral and croton-chloral, nitrite of amyl, bichlo- 

 ride of methylene, methylic ether, lithium com- 

 pounds, gelseminam, and other remedies. Am. 

 Journ. of Pharmacy, Feb. 1875. 



We can hardly admit that it has a rival in the 

 multitude of its citations and the fulness of its re- 

 search into clinical histories, and we must assign it 

 a place in the physician's library; not, indeed, as 

 fully representing the present state of knowledge in 

 pharmacodynamics. but as by far the most complete 

 treatise upon the clinical and practical side of the 

 question. Boston Med. and. Surg. Journal t Nov. 5, 

 1874.

A UNIVERSAL FORMULARY, Containing the Methods ofPrepar- 



ing and Administering Officinal and other Medicines. The whole adapted to Physiciars 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 

 and handsome octavo volume of about 800 pp.. cl., $450 ; leather, $5 50. (Lately Issued.) 



A more complete formulary than it is in its pres- 



To the druggist a good formulary is simply indis- 

 pensable, and perhaps no formulary has been more 



extensively used than the well-kuown work before 

 us. Many physicians have toofflciate, also, as drug- 

 gists. This is true especially of the country physi- 

 cian, and a work which shall teach hirn the means 

 by which to administer or combine his remedies in 

 the most efficacious and pleasant manner, will al- 



ent form the pharmacist or physician could hardly 



desire. To the first some such work is 

 ble, and it is hardly less essential to the practitioner 

 who compounds his own medicines. Much of what 

 is contained in the introduction ought to be com- 

 mitted to memory by every student of medicine. 

 As a help to physicians it will be found invaluable, 



ways hold its place upon his shelf. A formulary of and doubtless will make its way into libraries not 

 this kind is of benefit also to the city physician in \ already supplied with a standard work of the kind,
