This excellent treatise will not fail to take its 



place as one of the very best on the subject of 

 which it treats. We have been much pleased 

 with the comprehensive and lucid manner in 



which the

This work should supersede other works of its 

 class in the medical colleges. It is certainly better 

 adapted than any work upon chemistry.with which 

 we are acquainted, to impart that clear and full 

 knowledge of the science which students of med- 

 icine should have. Physicians who feel that their 

 chemical knowledge is behind the times, would 

 do well to devote some of their leisure time to the 

 study of this work. The descriptions and demon- 

 strations are made so plain that there is no diffi- 

 culty in understanding them. Cincinnati Medical

 It shows on every page that the problem of 

 rendering the obscurities of this science easy 

 of comprehension has long and successfully 

 engaged the attention of the authors. Medical 

 and Surgical Reporter, October 31, 1885. 



Fownes* Chemistry has been a standard text- 

 book upon chemistry for many years. Its merits 

 are very fully known by chemists and physicians 

 everywhere in this country and in England. As 

 the science has advanced by the making of new 

 discoveries, the work has been revised so as to 

 keep it abreast of the times. It has steadily 

 maintained its position as a text-book with medi- 

 cal students. In this work are treated fully : Heat, 

 Light and Electricity, including Magnetism. The 

 influence exerted by these forces in chemical 

 action upon health and disease, etc., is of the most 

 important kind, and should be familiar to every 

 medical practitioner. We can commend the 



work as one of the very best text-books upon 

 chemistry extant. Cincinnati Med. News, Oct. '85. 

 Of all the works on chemistry intended for the 

 use of medical students, Fownes' Chemistry is 



perhaps the most widely used.

and it is also enriched by the addition of Watts 

 Physical and Inorganic Chemistry. All of the mat- 

 ter is brought to the present standpoint of chemi- 

 cal knowledge. We may safely predict for this 

 work a continuance of the fame and favor it enjoys 

 among medical students. New Orleans Medical

again it is a good laboratory guide, and finally it 

 contains such a mass of well-arranged information 

 that it will always serve as a handy book of refer- 

 ence. He does not allow any unutilizable knowl- 

 edge to slip into his book; his long years of 

 experience have produced a work which is both 

 scientific and practical, and which shuts out 

 everything in the nature of a superfluity, and 

 therein lies the secret of its success. This last 

 edition shows the marks of the latest progress 

 made in chemistry and chemical teaching. Nevi 

 Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal, Nov. 1889. 



Attfield's Chemistry is the most popular book 

 among students of medicine and phai macy. This 

 popularity has a good, substantial basis. It rests 

 upon real merits. Attneld's work combines in the 

 happiest manner a clear exposition of the theory 

 of cnemislry with the practical application of this 

 knowledge to the everyday dealings of the phy- 

 sician and pharmacist. His discernment is shown 

 not only in what he puts into his work, but also in 

 what he leaves out. His book is precisely what 

 the title claims for it. The admirable arrangement 

 of the text enables a reader to get a good idea of 

 chemistry without the aid of experiments, and 



BLOXAM, CHARLES L.,

Chemistry, Inorganic and Organic. New American from the fifth Lon- 

 don edition, thoroughly revised and much improved. In one very handsome octavo 

 volume of 727 pages, with 292 illustrations. Cloth, $2.00 ; leather, $3.00. 



Comment from us on this standard work is al- 

 most superfluous. It differs widely in scope and 

 aim from that of Attfield, and in its way is equally 

 beyond criticism. It adopts the most direct meth- 

 ods in stating the principles, hypotheses and facts 

 of the science. Its language is so terse and lucid, 

 and its arrangement of matter so logical in se- 

 quence that the student never has occasion to 

 complain that chemistry is a hard study. Much 

 attention is paid to experimental illustrations of 

 chemical principles and phenomena, and the 

 mode of conducting these experiments. The book 

 maintains the position it has always held as one of 



the best manuals of general chemistry m the Eng- 

 lish language. Detroit Lancet, Feb. 1884. 



We know of no treatise on chemistry which 

 contains so much practical information in the 

 same number of pages. The book can be readily 

 adapted not only to the needs of those who desire 

 a tolerably complete course of chemistry, but also 

 to the needs of those who desire only a general 

 knowledge of the subject. We take pleasure in 

 recommending this work both as a satisfactory 

 text- book, and as a useful book of reference. .Bos- 

 ton Medical and Surgical Journal, June 19, 1884.
