This work, the best and most complete of its kind, contains about 275 

 printed pages, besides extra blank" leaves — the book being interleaved throughout 

 — elegantly printed, with red lines, edges, and borders; with illustrations. Bound 

 in leather, with side flap. 



It is a handy book of reference, replete with the choicest formulas (over 

 1800 in number) of more than six hundred of the most prominent classical writers 

 and modern practitioners. 



The remedies given are not only those whose eflSciency has stood the test 

 of time, but also the newest and latest discoveries in pharmacy and medical 

 science, as prescribed and used by the best-known American and foreign modern 

 authorities. 



It contains the latest, largest (66 formulae), and most complete collection of 

 hypodermatic formulcB (including the latest new remedies) ever published, with 

 doses and directions for their use in over fifty different diseases and diseased 

 conditions. 



Its appendix is brimful of information, invaluable in office work, emergency 

 cases, and the daily routine of practice. 



It is a reliable friend to consult when, in a perplexing or obstinate case, the 

 usual line of treatment is of no avail. (A hint or a help from the best authorities, 

 as to choice of remedies, correct dosage, and the eligible, elegant, and most palat- 

 able mode of exhibition of the same.) 



It is compact, elegantly printed and bound, well illustrated, and of conve- 

 nient size and shape for the pocket. 



The alphabetical arrangement of the diseases and a thumb-letter index 

 render reference rapid and easy. 



Blank leaves, judiciously distributed throughout the book, afford a place to 

 record and index favorite formulae. 



As a student, the physician needs it for study, collateral reading, and for 

 recording the favorite prescriptions of his professors, in lecture and clinic; as a 

 recent graduate, he needs it as a reference hand-book for daily use in prescribing 

 (gargles, nasal douches, inhalations, eye-washes, suppositories, incompatibles, 

 poisons, etc.); as an old practitioner, he needs it to refresh his memory on old 

 remedies and combinations, and for information concerning newer remedies and 

 more modern approved plans of treatment. 



No live, progressive medical man can afford to be without it. 

 Price, post-paid, in United States and Canada $2.00, net ;

It is sometimes important that such prescrip- 

 tions as have been well established in their 

 usefulness be preserved for reference," and 

 this little volume serves such a purpose better 

 than any other we have seen. — Columbus Med- 

 ical Journal. 



To the young physiciun Just starting out in 

 practice this little book wiU prove an accept- 

 able companion. — Omaha Clinic. 



As lonfj: as "combinations" are sought, such 

 a book will be of value, especially to those 

 who cannot spare the time required to learn 



enough of incompatibilities before commenc- 

 ing practice to avoid writing incompatible and 

 dangerous prescriptions. The constant use of 



ing practice to avoid writing incompatible and 



prescriptions. Thec< 

 such a book by such prescribers would save 



the pharmacist much anxiety.— y/ie Drug- 

 gists^ Circular. 



In judicious selection, in accurate nomen- 

 clature, in arrangement, and in style, it leaves 

 nothing to be aesired. The editor and the 

 publisher are to be congratulated on the pro- 

 duction of the very best book of its class.—
