The publishers have much pleasure in announcing to the Medical and Pharmaceutical 

 Professions that a new edition of this important work is in press, and that it will appear 

 in the shortest time consistent with the care requisite for printing a work of immense 

 detail, where absolute accuracy is of such supreme importance. Besides its revision on 

 the basis of the U. S. Pharmacopoeia of 1880, it will include all the advances made in its 

 department during the period elapsed since the preparation of that work. To this end all 

 recent medical and pharmaceutical literature, both domestic and foreign, has been thor- 

 oughly sifted, and everything that is new and important has been introduced, together 

 with the results of original investigations. To accord with the new Pharmacopoeia the 

 officinal formulae are given in parts by weight, but in every instance, for the sake of con- 

 venience, the same proportions are also expressed in ordinary weights and measures. The 

 Therapeutical Index has been enlarged so that it contains about 8000 references, arranged 

 under an alphabetical list of diseases, thus placing at the disposal of the practitioner, in the 

 most convenient manner, the vast stores of therapeutical knowledge constantly needed in 

 his daily practice. The work may therefore be justly regarded as a complete Encyclo- 

 paedia of Materia Medica and Therapeutics up to 1883. 



The exhaustion of two very large editions of THE NATIONAL DISPENSATORY since 

 1879 is the most conclusive testimony as to the necessity which demanded its preparation 

 and to the admirable manner in which that duty has been performed. In this revision 

 the authors have sought to add to its usefulness by including everything properly coming 

 within its scope which can be of use to the physician or pharmacist and at the same time 

 by the utmost conciseness and by the omission of all obsolete matter to prevent undue 

 increase in the size of the volume. No care will be spared by the publishers to render 

 its typographical execution worthy of its wide reputation and universal use as the 

 standard authority. 



A few notices of the previous edition are appended. 



The authors have embraced the opportunity 

 offered for a thorough revision of the whole work, 

 striving to include within it all that might have 

 been omitted in the former edition, and all that has 

 newly appeared of sufficient importance during 

 the time of its collaboration and the short inter- 

 val elapsed since the previous publication. After 

 having gone carefully through the volume, we 

 must admit that the authors nave labored faith- 

 fully and with success in maintaining the high 

 character of their work as a compendium meeting 

 the requirements of the day, to which one can 

 safely turn in quest of the latest information con- 

 cerning everything worthy of notice in connection 

 with Pharmacy, Materia Medica and Therapeutics.

The authors have produced a work which for 

 accuracy and comprehensiveness is unsurpassed 

 by any work on the subject. There is no book in 

 the English language which contains so much 



valuable information on the various articles of the 

 materia medica. Edinburgh Med. Jour., Nov. 1879. 



The National Dispensatory is beyond dispute 

 the very best authority. It is throughout complete 

 in all the necessary details, clear and lucid in its 

 explanations, and replete with references to the 

 most recent writings, where further particulars 

 can be obtained if desired. Its value is greatly 

 enhanced by the extensive indexes a general 

 index of materia mediea, etc., and also an index 

 of therapeutics. No practising physician can afford

A kind of international codex, available to the 

 English-speaking community of all nations; em- 

 phatically, we would repeat, a book for the practi- 

 tioner one well calculated to give him hints as to 

 treatment and most suggestive as to remedies.

The rapid exhaustion of three editions and the j multitude of its citations and the fulness of its 

 universal favor with which the work has been re- research into clinical histories, and we must assign
