PARRISH, EDWARD, 



Late Professor of the Theory and Practice of Pharmacy in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. 



A Treatise on Pharmacy : designed as a Text-book for the Student, and as a 

 Guide for the Physician and Pharmaceutist. With many Formulae and Prescriptions. 

 Fifth edition, thoroughly revised, by THOMAS S. WIEGAND, Ph. G. In one handsome 

 octavo volume of about 1000 pages, with about 300 illustrations. In press. 



A few notices of the previous edition are appended : 



Perhaps one of the most important, if not the 

 most important, book upon pharmacy which lias 

 appeared in the English language has emanated 

 from the transatlantic press. "Parrish's Phar- 

 macy" is a well-known work on this side of the 

 water, and the fact shows us that a really useful 

 work never becomes merely local in its fame. 

 Thanks to the judicious editing of Mr. Wiegand, 

 the posthumous edition of "Parrish" has been saved 

 to the public with all the mature experience of its 

 author, and perhaps none the worse for a dash of 

 new blood. Land. Pharm. Journal, Oct. 17, 1874. 



equal value as a text-book for the student and as a 

 guide for the pharmacist and physician, which has 

 reached its fourth edition. A work which has 

 gained such a hold upon the confidence of the pro- 

 fession stands in no need of the recommendation 

 of the press. We have called the treatise an ency- 

 clopaedia as the name most descriptive of its char- 

 acter a work in which may be found all that the 

 pharmacist or student of medicine need to know 

 of pharmacy. On whatever point of pharmacy 

 he may be seeking information, he will be fully 

 instructed in this handbook, which is heartily rec-

GRIFFITH, R. EGLESFIELD, M. D. 



A Universal Formulary ; Containing the Methods of Preparing and Adminis- 

 tering Officinal and other Medicines. The whole adapted to Physicians and Pharmaceut- 

 ists. Third edition, carefully revised and much enlarged, by JOHN M. MAISCH, Phar. D., 

 Professor of Materia Medica in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. In one large 

 and handsome octavo volume of 775 pages, with illustrations. Cloth, $4.50 ; leather, $5.50. 



A more complete formulary than it is in its pres- 

 ent form the pharmacist or physician could hardly 

 desire. To the first some such work is indispen- 

 sable, and it is hardly less essential to the practi- 

 tioner who compounds his own medicines. Much 

 of what is contained in the introduction ought to 



be committed to memory by every student of 

 medicine. As a help to physicians it will be found 

 invaluable, and doubtless will make its way into 

 libraries not already supplied with a standard work 

 of the kind. The American Practitioner, July, 1874. 



HERMANN, Dr. L., 



Professor of Physiology in the University of Zurich. 



Experimental Pharmacology. A Handbook of Methods for Determining the 

 Physiological Actions of Drugs. Translated, with the Author's permission, and with 

 extensive additions, by ROBEHT MEADE SMITH, M. D., Demonstrator of Physiology in the 

 University of Pennsylvania. In one handsome 12mo. volume of 199 pages, with 32 

 illustrations. Cloth, $1.50. Just ready. 



TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. 



The translation of Hermann's Manual of Pharmacology was undertaken to furnish the 

 student with a work that would assist him in his studies of the physiological action of 

 drugs, enabling him to make the experiments himself that would otherwise require the 

 assistance of the instructor. The translator has attempted to elucidate the text with a 

 careful selection of illustrations ; and he trusts that his additions, which constitute nearly 

 one-half of the entire volume, will render the work a more perfect guide to the student. 

 The selection of animals and their management, | After closely perusing the pages, all laden to over- 



the paths of elimination and changes of poisons 

 in the body, the explanation of the symptoms pro- 

 duced by poisons, alterations in tissue, in the re- 

 productive function and in temperature, action on 

 muscles and in nerves, anatomical and chemical 

 changes produced by poisons, all are successively 

 passed in review in a practical instructive fashion, 

 which speaks well for both the author and the 

 translator. The book is deserving of an enco- 

 mium as a correct exponent of the spirit and 

 tendencies of modern pharmacological research. 



flowing with the richest facts of physiological in- 

 vestigation, and after following the astounding 

 progress of toxic pharmacology as revealed by the 

 author, we feel that we are fast approachip- ' 

 realization of that Utopian dream in whic 

 behold experimental and clinical experience 

 firmly and inseparably united. It is a reliable, 

 concise and practical vade mecum for the time- 

 pressed worker in the laboratory. New Orleans

A Manual of Organic Materia Medica ; Being a Guide to Materia Medica of

comprehensive, inasmuch as it refers to all, or 

 nearly all, that is of essential value in organic ma- 

 teria medica, clear and simple in its style, concise, 

 since it would be difficult to find in it a superfluous 

 word, and yet sufficiently explicit to satisfy the 

 most critical. The text is freely illustrated with 

 woodcuts, which cannot fail to be' valuable in famil- 

 iarizing students with the physical microscopic 

 and macroscopic appearance of drug . The work 

 is preceded by a tame of contents, and completed 

 with that without which no book should be consid- 

 ered complete, i. e., an index. In fact, the little 

 book is just what it pretends to be, and is worthy 



The above manual, by a well-known authority in 

 this department and one of the authors of the 

 National Dispensatory, is a work for which students 

 of pharmacy should* be grateful. The subject is 

 one in which the beginner needs the guidance of 

 a good classification in order to avoid the bewil- 

 derment which follows the attempt to grasp a sub- 

 ject having so many details. This condition the 

 book fulfils, the classification adopted being a sim- 

 ple and practical one ; the notice of each drug is 

 brief and clear, non-essentials being omitted. It 

 is fully illustrated by some two hundred woodcuts.
