The unexceptional large and rapid sale of this book, and the universal com- 

 mendation it has received from the profession, seems to be a sufficient guaran- 

 tee of its merit as a Textbook. The publishers are in receipt of numerous 

 letters from Professors in the medical schools, speaking favorably of it, and 

 below they give extracts from the medical press, American and English, 

 attesting its superiority and value to both student and practitioner. The 

 present edition has been thoroughly revised and much of it re-written. 



" The best Textbook for Students in the English language. We know of no work in the English 

 language, or in any other, which competes with this one." Edinburgh Medical Journal. 



" It is a remarkable evidence of industry, experience, and research." Practitioner. 



" Dr. Roberts' book is admirably fitted to supply the want of a good handbook, so much felt 

 by every medical student." Student's Journal and Hospital Gazette. 



"It contains a va'stdeal of capital instruction for the student." Medical Times and Gazette. 



" There are great excellencies in this book, which will make it a favorite with the student." 

 Richmond and Louisville Journal. 



" To the student it will be a gift of priceless value." Detroit Review of Medicine. 



" We heartily recommend it to students, teachers, and practitioners." Boston Medical and 

 /Surgical Journal. 



" It is of a much higher order than the usual compilations and abstracts placed in the hands 

 of students." Medical and Surgical Reporter.

 The Clinic. 



" We particularly commend it to students about to enter upon the practice of their profes- 

 sion." St. Louis Medical and Surgical Journal. 



SECOND EDITION, ENTIRELY RE-WRITTEN. 



WITH THEIR TREATMENT; INCLUDING THE GOUTY HEART. 



By J. MILNER POTHERGILL, M.D., 



Author of " The Practitioner's Handbook of Treatment," "The Antagonism of Therapeutic Agents," etxj. 

 OCTAVO. PRICE, $3.50. 



" It is the best, as well as the most recent work on the subject in the English language." 

 Medical Press and Circular. 



" To many an earnest student it will prove a light in darkness ; to many a practitioner cast 

 down with a sense of his powerlessness to cope with the rout and demoralization of Nature's 

 forces, a present help in time of trouble." Philadelphia Medical Times. 



"The work throughout is a masterpiece of graphic, lucid writing, full of good sound teaching, 

 which will be appreciated alike by the practitioner and the student." Student's Journal. 



" Dr. Fothergill's intention has rather been to present the natural history of heart disease as a 

 series of vivid pictures before the imagination of the reader, and to carry the doctor as a living 

 actor into the scene. For this purpose he has properly chosen to use academic detail, not ex- 

 haustively, but as a means to this end, and he has brilliantly succeeded." Westminster Review. 



" The most interesting chapter is undoubtedly that on the gouty heart, a subject which Dr. 

 Fothergill has specially studied, and on which he entertains views such as are likely, we think, to 

 be generally accepted by clinical physicians, although they have not before been stated, so far as 

 we are aware, with the same breadth of view and extended illustration." British Med. Journal. 



" Dr. Fothergill's remarks on rest, on proper blood nutrition in heart disease, on the treat- 

 ment of the sequelae of it, and on the actions of special medicine, all indicate that, in studying 

 the pathology of heart disease, he has earnestly kept in view the best means of mitigating suf- 

 fering and of prolonging life." The Lancet.
