In this new edition of THE NATIONAL DISPENSATORY, all important changes in the 

 recent British Pharmacopoeia have been incorporated throughout the volume, while in 

 the Addenda will be found, grouped in a convenient section of 24 pages, all therapeutical 

 novelties which have been established in professional favor since the publication of the 

 third edition two years ago. Detailed information is thus given of the following among 

 the many drugs treated : Antipyrin, Cocaine Hydrochlorate, Cascara Sagrada, Fabiana, 

 Franciscea, various new Glycerins, Gymnocladus, Hydroquinon, Hypnone, lodol, Jaca- 

 randa, Lanolin, Menthol, Phormium, Sulphophenol, Thallin and Urethan. In this 

 edition, as always before, THE NATIONAL DISPENSATORY may be said to be the represent- 

 ative of the most recent state of American, English, German and French Pharmacology,

fully up to the existing knowledge upon the sub-

 macopoeia have been amended for the late and 

 much-changed new edition of that work; an "ad

The National Dispensatory is so well and favor- 

 ably known on both sides of the Atlantic that 

 scarcely anything else is left to the reviewer than 

 to call attention to the fact that another edition 

 of this valuable work has made Its appearance. 

 This last edition surpasses even its predecessors 

 in thoroughness and accuracy. The fact that in 

 1884, when the third edition was published, no 

 revision of the British Pharmacopoeia had been 

 made for seventeen years, has necessitated a 

 thorough going over of the whole work in order 

 that references might correspond to the last re- 

 vision of the work of our British cousins. In 

 addition to these changes is a fairly fall resume, in 

 the form of addenda, of the more important drugs 

 which have come into general use in the last two 

 or three years. The American Journal of the Med- 

 ical Sciences, April, 1887. 



This, the most comprehensive of the several 

 commentaries on the Pharmacopoeias of the United 

 States, Great Britain and Germany which has yet 

 appeared, has by this last revision been brought

We think it a matter for congratulation that the 

 profession of medicine and that of pharmacy have 

 shown such appreciation of this great work as to call 

 for four editions within the comparatively brief 

 period of eight years. The matters with which it 

 deals are of so practical a nature that neither the 

 physician nor the pharmacist can do without the 

 latest text-books on them, especially those that are 

 so accurate and comprehensive as this one. The 

 book is in every way creditable both to the authors 

 and to the publishers. New York Medical Journal,

FARQTJHARSON, ROBERT, M. D., 



Lecturer on Materia Medica at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School. 



A Guide to Therapeutics and Materia Medica. Third American edition, 

 specially revised by the Author. Enlarged and adapted to the U. S. Pharmacopoeia by 

 FRANK WOODBURY, M. D. In one handsome 12mo. volume of 524 pages. Cloth, $2.25. 



Dr. Farquharson's Therapeutics is constructed 

 upon a plan which brings before the reader all the 

 essential points with reference to the properties of 

 drugs. It impresses these upon him in such a way 

 as to enable him to take a clear view of the actions 

 of medicines and the disordered conditions in 

 which they must prove useful. The double-col- 



umned pages one side containing the recognized 

 physiological action of the medicine, and the other 

 the disease in which observers (who are nearly al- 

 ways mentioned) have obtained from it good re- 

 sults make a very good arrangement. The early
