MATERIA MEDIC A AND THERAPEUTICS; being an Abridg- 

 ment of the late Dr. Pereira's Elements of Materia Medica, arranged in conformity with 

 the British Pharmacopoeia, and adapted to the use of Medical Practitioners, Chemists and 

 Druggists, Medical and Pharmaceutical Students, <fec. By P. J. FARRE, M.D., Senior

 assisted by ROBERT BENTLEY, M.R.C.S., Professor of Materia Medica and Botany to the 

 Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain; and by ROBERT WARINGTON, F.R.S. , Chemical

pceia, none will be more acceptable to the student 

 and practitioner than the present. Pereira's Materia 

 Medica had long ago asserted for itself the position of 

 being the most complete work on the subject in the 

 English language. But its very completeness stood 

 in the way of its success. Except in the way of refer- 

 ence, or to those who made a special study of Materia 

 Medica, Dr. Pereira's work was too full, and its pe- 

 rusal required an amount of time which few had at 

 their disposal. Dr. Farre has very j udiciously availed 

 himself of the opportunity of the publication of the 

 new Pharmacopoeia, by bringing out an abridged edi- 

 tion of the great work. This edition of Pereira is by 

 no means a mere abridged re-issue, but contains ma- 

 ny improvements, both in the descriptive and thera- 

 peutical departments. We can recommend it as a 

 very excellent and reliable text-book. Edinburgh 

 Med Journal, February, 1S66. 



The task of the American editor has evidently been 

 no sinecure, for not only has he given to us all that 

 is contained in the abridgment useful for our pur- 

 poses, but by a careful and judicious embodiment of 

 over a hundred new remedies has increased the size 

 of the former work fully one-third, besides adding 

 many new illustrations, some of which are original. 

 We unhesitatingly say that by so doing he has pro- 

 portionately increased the value, not only of the con- 

 densed edition, but has extended the applicability of 

 the great original, and has placed his medical coun- 

 trymen under lasting obligations to him. The Ame- 

 rican physician now has all that is needed in the 

 shape of a complete treatise On materia medica, and 

 the medical student has a text-book which, for prac- 

 tical utility and intrinsic worth, stands unparalleled. 

 Although of considerable size, it is none too large for 

 the purposes for which it has beerfintended, and every 

 medical man should, in justice to himself, spare a 

 place for it upon his book-shelf, resting assured that 

 the more he consults it the better he will be satisfied 

 of its excellence.^. Y. Med. Record, Nov. 15, 1866. 



It will fill a place which no other work can occupy 

 in the library of the physician, student, and apothe- 

 cary. Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, Nov. 8, 1866. 



Of the many works on Materia Medica which have 

 appeared since the issuing of the British Pharmaco- 



The reader cannot fail to be impressed, at a glance, 

 with the exceeding value of this work as a compeud 

 of nearly all useful knowledge oh the materia medica. 

 We are greatly indebted to Professor Wood for his 

 adaptation of it to our meridian. Without his emen- 

 dations and additions it would lose much of its value 

 to the American student. With them it is an Ameri- 

 can book. Pacific Medical and Surgical Journal, 

 December, 1866.

THE MEDICAL FORMULARY: being a Collection of Prescriptions 



derived from the writings and practice of many of the most eminent physicians of America 

 and Europe. Together with the usual Dietetic Preparations and Antidotes for Poisons. The 

 whole accompanied with a few brief Pharmaceutic and Medical Observations. Twelfth edi- 

 tion, carefully revised and much improved by ALBERT H. SMITH, M. D. In one volume 8vo.

 We endorse ,the favorable opinion which the book 

 has so long established for itself, and take this occa- 

 sion to commend it to our readers as one of the con- 

 venient handbooks of the office and library. Cin- 

 cinnati Lancet, Feb. 1864. 



The work has long been before the profession, and 

 its merits are well known. The present edition con- 

 tains many valuable additions, and will be found to 

 be an exceedingly convenient and useful volume for 

 reference by the medical practitioner. Chicago 

 Medical Examiner, March, 1864. 



The work is now so well known, and has been so 



frequently noticed in this Journal as the successive 

 editions appeared, that it is sufficient, on the present 

 occasion, to state that the editor has introduced into 

 the eleventh edition a large amount of new matter, 

 derived from the current medical and pharmaceutical 

 works, as well as a number of valuable prescriptions 

 furnished from private sources. A very comprehen- 

 sive and extremely useful index has also been sup- 

 plied, which facilitates reference to the particular 

 article the prescriber may wish to administer; and 

 the language of the Formulary has been made to cor- 

 respond with the nomenclature of the new national 

 Pharmacopoeia. Am. Jour. Med. Sciences, Jan.. 1S64.
