AN INTRODUCTION TO PRACTICAL PHARMACY. Designed as a Text- 



Book lor the Student, and as a Guide for the Physician and Pharmaceutist. With many For- 

 mulae and Prescriptions. Third edition, greatly improved. In one handsome octavo volume, 

 of nearly 850 pages, with several hundred Illustrations, extra cloth. SD 00. (Just Ready.) 

 Though for some time out of print, the appearance of a new edition of this work has b-r-en de- 

 layed for the purpose of embodying in it the results of the new U. S. Pharmacopoeia. The pub- 

 lication of this latter has enabled the author to complete his revision in the most thorough manner. 

 Those who have been waiting for the work may therefore rely on obtaining a volume completely 

 on a level with the most advanced condition of pharmaceutical science. 



The favor with which the work has thus far been received shows that the author was not mis- 

 taken in his estimate of the want of a treatise which should serve as a practical text-book for all 

 engaged in preparing- and dispensing medicines. Such a guide was indispensable not only to the 

 educated pharmaceutist, but also to that large class of practitioners throughout the country who 

 are obliged to compound their own prescriptions, and who during their collegiate course have no 

 opportunity of obtaining a practical familiarity with the necessary processes and manipulations. 

 The rapid 'exhaustion of two large editions is evidence tat the author has succeeded in thoroughly 

 carrying out his object. Since the appearance of the la*t edition, much has been done to perfect 

 the science ; the new Pharmacopoeia has introduced many changes to which the profession must 

 conform ; and the author has labored assiduou>ly to embody in his work all that physicians and 

 pharmaceutists can ask for in such a volume. The new matter alone will thus be found wo.lu 

 more than the very moderate cost of the work to those who have been using the previous editions.

 and rich experience as an observer, teacher, and

All that we can say of it is that to the practising 

 physician, and especially the country physician, 

 who is generally his own apothecary, there is hard-

A careful examination of this work enables us to 

 speak of it in the highest terms, as being the best 

 treatise on practical pharmacy with winch we are 

 acquainted, and an invaluable vide-mecum, not only 

 to the apothecary and to those practitioners who 

 are accustomed to prepare tleir own medkines, but 

 to every medical man and medical student. Boston 

 Med. and Surg. Journal. 



This is altogether one of the most useful books 

 we have seen. It is just what we have long felt to 

 be needed by apothecaries, students, and practition- 

 ers of med icine, most of whom in this country have 

 to put up their own prescriptions. It bears, upon 

 every page, the impress of practical knowledge, 

 conveyed in a plain common sense manner, und 

 adapted to the comprehension of all who may read 

 it. Southern Med. and Surg. Journal.

a copy of the first edition will procure one of this ; 

 it is, therefore, to physicians residing in the country 

 and in small towns, who cannot avail themselves of 

 the skill of an educated pharmaceutist, that we 

 would especially commend this work. In it they 

 will find all that they desire to know, and should 

 know, but very little of which they do really snow 

 in reference to this important collateral branch of 

 their profession; for it is a well established fact, 

 that, in the education of physicians, while the sci- 

 ence of medicine is geneially well taught, very 

 little attention is paid to the art of preparing them 

 for use, and we know not how this defect can be so 

 well remedied as by procuring and consulting Dr. 

 Parrish's excellent work. Si. Louis Med. Journal.

 it treats ; of all that is in the great works of Simon

The profession is too well acquainted with the re- 

 futation of Rokitansky's work to need our assur- 

 ance that this is one of the most profound, thorough, 

 and valuable books ever issued from the medical 

 press. It is sui generis, and has no standard of com- 

 parison. It is only necessary to announce that it is 

 issued in a form as cheap as is compatible with its 

 size and preservation, and its sale follows as a 

 matter of course. No library can be called com- 

 plete without it. Buffalo Med. Journal. 



An attempt to give our readers any adequate idea 

 of the vast amount of instruction accumulated in 



these volumes, would be feeble and hopeles*. The

 As this is the highest source of knowledge upon 

 the important subject of wliich it treats, no real 

 student can afford to be without it. The American 

 publisners have entitled themselves to the thanks of 

 the profession of their country, for this timeous and 

 beautiful edition. Nashville Journal of Medicine.
