Chemistry, General, Medical and Pharmaceutical; Including the Chem-

 and their Application to Medicine and Pharmacy. Eighth edition, specially revised

 We have repeatedly expressed our favorable I This very popular and meritorious work has 



opinion of this work, and on the appearance of 

 a new edition of it little remains for us to say, ex- 

 cept that we expect this eighth edition to be as in- 

 dispensable to us as the seventh and previous edi- 

 tions have been. While the general plan and ar- 

 rangement have been adhered to, new matter has 

 been added covering the observations made since 

 the former edition. The present differs from the 

 preceding one chiefly in these alterations and in 

 about ten pages of useful tables added in the ap- 

 pendix. American Journal of Pharmacy, May, '79. 

 Each of these editions has been a decided im- 

 provement on its predecessor, until now the pres- 

 ent edition is as perfect as one could well expect a 

 work of this kind to be. It possesses the advan- 

 tage over other chemical works intended specially 

 for medical students of being also quite complete 

 as a general chemical text-book. It is even more 

 particularly serviceable to pharmaceutical students 

 and apothecaries, as it " includes the whole of the 

 chemistry of the U. S. Pharmacopoeia, of the Britr 

 ish Pharmacopoeia and of the Pharmacopoeia of In- 

 dia." Virginia Medical Monthly, May, 1879. 



now reached its eighth edition, which fact speaks 

 in the highest terms in commendation of its ex- 

 cellence. It has now become the principal text- 

 book of chemistry in all the medical colleges, in 

 the United States. The present edition contains 

 such alterations and additions as seemed necessary 

 for the demonstration of the latest developments 

 of chemical principles and the latest applications 

 of chemistry to pharmacy. It is scarcely necessary 

 for us to say that it exhibits chemistry in its pres- 

 ent advanced state. Cin. Med. Neics, April, 1879. 

 The popularity which this work has enjoyed is 

 owing to the original and clear disposition of the 

 facts of the science, the accuracy of the details, 

 and the omission of much which freights many 

 treatises heavily without bringing corresponding 

 instruction to the reader. Dr. Attfield writes for 

 students, and primarily for medical students ; he 

 always has an eye to the pharmacopoeia and its 

 officinal preparations, and ne is continually put- 

 ting the matter in the text so that it responds to 

 the questions with which each section is provided.
