 (Just Issued.) 



The very cordial reception with which this work has met shows that the author has fully suc- 

 ceeded in his attempt to condense within a convenient compass the essential points of scientific 

 and practical medicine, so as to meet the wants not only of the student, but .also of the practi- 

 tioner who desires to acquaint himself with the results of recent advances in medical science. 



As a strikingly terse, full, and comprehensive em- 

 bodiment in a condensed form of the essentials iii 

 medical science and art, we hazard nothing in saying 

 that it is incomparably in advance of any work of the 

 kind of the past, and will stand long in the future 

 without a rival. A mere glance will, we think, im- 

 press others with the correctness of our estimate. Nor 

 do we believe there will be found many who, after 

 the most cursory examination, will fail to possess it. 

 How one could be able to crowd so much that is valu- 

 able, especially to the student and young practitioner, 

 within the limits of so small a book, and yet embrace 

 and present all that is important in a well-arranged, 

 clear form, convenient, satisfactory for reference, with 

 so full a table of contents, and extended general index, 

 with nearly three hundred formulas and recipes, is a 

 marvel. Western Journal of Medicine, Aug. 1867. 



The little book before us has this quality, and we 

 can therefore say that all students will find it an in- 

 valuable guide in their pursuit of clinical medicine. 

 Dr. Hartshorne speaks of it as "an unambitious effort 

 to make useful the experience of twenty years of pri- 

 vate and hospital medical practice, with its attendant 

 study and reflection." That the effort will prove suc- 

 cessful we have no doubt, and in his study, and at 

 the bedside, the student will find Dr. Hartshorne a 

 safe and accomplished companion. We speak thus 

 highly of the volume, because it approaches more 



nearly than any similar manual lately before us the 

 standard at which all auch books should aim of 

 teaching much, and suggesting more. To the student 

 we can heartily recommend the work of our transat- 

 lantic colleague, and the busy practitioner, we are 

 sure, will find in it the means of solving many a 

 doubt, and will rise from the perusal of its pages, 

 having gained clearer views to guide him in his daily 

 struggle with disease. Dub. Med. Press, Oct. 2, 1S67. 



Pocket handbooks of medicine are not desirable, 

 even when they are as carefully and elaborately com- 

 piled as this, the latest, most complete, and most ac- 

 curate which we have seen. British Med. Journal, 

 Sept. 21, 1867. 



This work of Dr. Hartshorne must not be confound- 

 ed with the medical manuals so generally to be found 

 in the hands of students, serving them at best but as 

 blind guides, better adapted to lead them astray than 

 to any useful and reliable knowledge. The work be- 

 fore us presents a careful synopsis of the essential 

 elements of the theory of diseased action, its causes, 

 phenomena ( and results, and of the art of healing, as 

 recognized by the most authoritative of our profes- 

 sional writers and teachers. A very careful and can- 

 did examination of the volume has convinced us that 

 it will be generally recognized as one of the best man- 

 uals for the use of the student that has yet appeared.

LECTURES ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF 



PHYSIC. Delivered at King's College, London. A new American, from the last revised 

 and enlarged English edition, with Additions, by D. FRANCIS CONDIE, M. D., author of 

 "A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children," &c. With one hundred and eighty- 

 five illustrations on wood. In one very large and handsome volume, imperial octavo, of 

 over 1200 closely printed pages in small type ; extra cloth, $6 50 j strongly bound in 

 leather, with raised bands, $7 50. 



Believing this to be a work which should lie on the table of every physician, and be in the hands 

 of every student, every effort has been made to condense the vast amount of matter which it con- 

 tains within a convenient compass, and at a very reasonable price, to place it within reach of all. 

 In its present enlarged form, the work contains the matter of at least three ordinary octavos, 

 rendering it one of the cheapest works now offered to the American profession, while its mechani- 

 cal execution makes it an exceedingly attractive volume.

Dr. Fuller's work on diseases of the chest was so I accordingly we have what might be with perfect jus- 

 favorably received, that to many who did not know , tice styled an entirely new work from his pen, the 

 the extent of his engagements, it was a matter of won- portion of the work treating of the heart and great 

 der that it should be allowed to remain three years vessels being excluded. Nevertheless, this volume is 

 out of print. Determined, however, to improve it, of almost equal size with the first. London Medical
