WHY EVERY MEDICAL MAN SHOULD POSSESS A COPY OF 

 THE INTERNATIONAL POCKET MEDICAL FORMULARY. 



1. Because it is a handy book of reference, replete with the choicest formulae (over 1800 in number) of 

 more than six hundred of the most prominent classical writers and modern practitioners. 



2. Because the remedies given are not only those whose efficiency 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. 



3. Because it contains the latest, largest (66 formulae) and most complete collection of hypodermic formulas 



(including the latest new remedies) ever published, with doses and directions for their use in over 

 fifty different diseases and diseased conditions. 



4. Because its appendix is brimful of information, invaluable in office work, emergency cases, and the 



daily routine of practice. 



5. Because it is a reliable friend to consult when, in a perplexing or obstinate case, the usual line of treat- 



ment 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 palatable mode of exhibition of the same.) 



6. Because it is compact, elegantly printed and bound, well illustrated, and of convenient size and shape 



for the pocket. 



7. Because the alphabetical arrangement of the diseases and a thumb-letter index render reference rapid 



and easy. 



8* Because blank leaves, judiciously distributed throughout the book, afford 

 favorite formula;. 



place to record and index 



9. Because, as a student, he 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 combi- 

 nations, and for information concerning newer remedies and more modern approved plans of treatment. 



10. Because no live, progressive medical man can afford to be without it. 



It is sometimes important that such prescriptions 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 Medical 

 Journal. 



Without doubt this book is the best one of its class 

 that we have ever seen. .,. . . The printing, binding. 

 and general appearance of the volume are beyond praise.- 

 University Medical Magazine. 



It may be possible 'to get more crystallized knowledge 

 in an equally small space, but it does not seem probable. 

 Medical Classi.cn. 



A very handy and valuable book of formulae for the 

 physician's pocket. St. Louis Medical and Surg. Journal. 



This little pocket-book contains an immense number 

 of prescriptions taken from high authorities in this and 

 other countries. Northwestern Lancet. 



This one is the most complete as well as the most 

 conveniently arranged of any that have come under our 

 attention. The diseases are enumerated in alphabetical 

 order, and for each the latest and most approved remedies 

 from the ablest authorities are prescribed. The book is in- 

 dexed entirely through after the' order of the first pages of 

 a ledger, the index letter being printed on morocco leather 

 and thereby made very durable. Pacific Medical Journal. 



It is a 'book desirable for the old practitioner and for 

 his younger brothers as well. St. Joseph Medical Herald. 



As long as "combinations" are sought sm-h :i book 

 will be of value, especially to those who cannot spare the 

 time required to learn enough of incompatibilities before 

 commencing practice to avoid writing incompatible and 

 dangerous prescriptions. The constant use of such a book 

 by such prescribers would save the pharmacist much 

 anxiety. T he. Drugg-islx 1 Circular. 



In judicious selection, in accurate nomenclature, in 

 arrangement, and in style it leaves nothing to be desired. 

 The editor and the publisher are to be congratulated on tin- 

 production of the very best book of its clsuBS.Ptttthttrg/i

One must see it to realize how much information can 

 be got into a work of so little bulk. Canadn Medical 

 Record. 



To the young physician just starting out in practice 

 this little book will prove an acceptable companion 



The want of to-day is crystallized knowledge. This 

 neat little volume contains in it the most accessible form. 

 It is bound in morocco in pocket form, with alphabetical 

 divisions of diseases, so that it is possible to turn instantly 

 to the remedy, whatever may be the disorder or wherever 



the patient mav be situated To the physi.-ian 



it is invaluable*, and others should not be without it. We 

 heartily commend the work to our readers. Jfi*M
