ROBINSON. THE LATIN GRAMMAR OF PHARMACY AND 

 MEDICINE. By H. D. Robinson, ph.d., Professor of Latin Language 

 and Literature, University of Kansas, Lawrence. With an Introduction by 

 L. E, Sayre, ph.g., Professor of Pharmacy, and Dean of the Dept. of 

 Pharmacy in the University of Kansas, and including two extensive vocabu- 

 laries, English-Latin and Latin-English. Second Edition, Revised and 

 Corrected with the assistance of Dr. Charles Rice, President of the 

 Committee of Pubhcation of the U. S. P. 1890; Pharmacist Bellevue 

 Hospital, New York. i2mo. 277 pages. Cloth, $1.75 



"The object of this useful book is a very laudable one, namely, to improve, if possible, the 

 Latin used by both physicians and druggists, chiefly in the prescribing of drugs. While it 

 is true that many of the profession find it unnecessary to remember the genitive endings of 

 words used in medicine, because of the customary abbreviations in prescribing writing, there 

 are others who frequently desire to write their directions to the druggist in Latin, in order 

 that the patient may "ot learn of facts about which it is often necessary for him to remain in 

 ignorance. We hope that the book will prove a success, and by its general employment in 

 both pharmaceutical and medical schools improve the knowledge of Latin in both profes- 

 sions. " — The Medical News, Philadelphia., 



HARTLEY. MEDICAL CHEMISTRY. Fourth Edition. A Text- 

 Book for Medical, Dental, and Phannaceutical Students. By E. H.

 plete Index. 711 pages. i2mo. Cloth, ^2.75 ; Sheep, ^3.25 



"Of this work it may be said that it is condensed without being abrupt, it is detailed with- 

 out verbosity, and all the instructions are given clearly and distinctly. Ihe oldest and most 

 accompli>hed physician will be well repaid iu having it for a book of reference, \^hlle the 

 student will find that it will lighten the burden which, of necessity, he is compelled to carry. 

 It is completed by an excellent set of tables and an index." — Louisvjille Medical Ntivs. 



DAVIS. A MANUAL OF PRACTICAL OBSTETRICS. Second 



Edition. Illustrated, including Several Plates. By Edward P. 

 Davis, a.m., MD,, Clinical Lecturer on Obstetrics in the Jefferson Medical 

 College; Profe.'-sor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Children in the Phila- 

 delphia Polyclinic; Visiting Obstetrician to the Philaclelj^hia Hospital; 

 Physician to the Children's Department of the Howard Hospital ; Member 

 of the American Gynjecological Society. 351 pages. i2mo. Cloth, ^2.00 

 " This manual is, unlike many of its class, not a mere compilation, but contains a number 

 of practical hints not usually found in larger works. The chapters on the diagnosis of preg- 

 nancy, tht treatment of normal and premature labor, operati«ve obstetrics, the puerperal 

 state, and post-partum hemorrhage commend ihemselves especially by their clearness and 

 conciseness. If the advice given in Chapter VI, on the examination of patients before the 

 beginning of labor, were generally followed there would be an immense difference in ihe ma- 

 ternal and foetal n.orialiiy. i he chapter on the laceration of the perineum and pelvic floor 

 is a useful one. The style is clear and concise, the illustrations helpful ; in fact, the work is 

 one which deserves, and will obtain, a wide circulation." — The Medical Record.
