 THE ELEMENTS OF MATERIA MEDICA AND THERAPEUTICS. 



Third American edition, enlarged and improved by the author; including Notices of most of the 

 Medicinal Substances in use in the civilized world, arid forming an Encyclopaedia of Malerra 

 Medica. Edited by JOSEPH CARSON, M. D., Professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy in the 

 University of Pennsylvania. In two very large octavo volumes, on small type, with about four 

 hundred illustrations. 



VOLUME I. Lately issued, containing the Inorganic Materia Medica, over 800 pages, with 145 

 illustrations. 



VOLUME II. Embracing the Organic Materia Medica, was left by the late author in nearly a com- 

 plete state, is now revising with his MSS., by ALFRED S. TAYLOR and G. OWEN REES, and may 

 be expected in October 1853, with plates and several hundred wood-cuts. 



The present edition of this favorite and standard worlc, will be found far superior to its predeces- 

 sors. Besides very large additions and alterations which were made in the last London edition, 

 the work has undergone a thorough revision on the part of the author expressly for this country ; 

 and has farther received numerous additions from the editor. It is thus greatly' increased in size, 

 and most completely brought up to the present state of our knowledge on this important subject. 

 A similar improvement will be found in its mechanical execution, being printed with new type on. 

 fine white paper, with a greatly extended series of illustrations, engraved in the highest style of art. 



The work, in its present shape, and so far as can 

 be judged from the portion before the public, forms 

 the most comprehensive and complete treatise on 

 materia medica extant in the English language. 

 Dr. Pereira has been at great pains to introduce 

 into his work, not only all the information on the 

 natural, chemical, and commercial history of medi- 

 cines, which might be serviceable to the physician 

 and surgeon, but whatever might enable his read- 

 ers to understand thoroughly the mode of prepar- 



ing and manufacturing various articles employed 

 either for preparing medicines, or for certain pur- 

 poses in the arts connected with materia medica 

 and the practice of medicine. The accounts of the 

 physiological and therapeutic effects of remedies are 

 given with great clearness and accuracy, and in a 

 manner calculated to interest as well as instruct 

 the reader. The Edinburgh Medical and Surgical

However well it may be adapted for a text-book ! 

 (and in this respect it may compete with the best of [ 

 them) of this much our reading has convinced us, 

 that as a systematic treatise, it is carefully and ably j 

 written, and can hardly fail to command a prominent ' 

 position in the library of practitioners; though not 

 complete in the fullest sense of the word, it never- [ 

 tueless furnishes the student and practitioner with i 

 as chaste and concise a work as exists in our Ian- i 

 guage. The additions to the volume by Dr. Neill, 

 are judicious; and while they render it more com- 

 plete, greatly enhance its practical value, as a work : 

 for practitioners and students. N. Y. Journal of]

We know of no other surgical work of a reason- 

 able size, wherein there is so much theory and prac- \ 

 tice, or where subjects are more soundly or clearly 

 taught. The Stethoscope.

by accurate wood-engravings. Then, again, every 

 instrument employed by the surgeon is thus repre- 

 sented. These engravings are not only correct, but 

 really beautiful, showing the astonishing degree of 

 perfection to which the art of wood-engraving has 

 arrived. Prof. Pirrie, in the work before us, has 

 elaborately discussed the principles of surgery, and 

 a safe and effectual practice predicated upon them. 

 Perhaps no work upon this subject heretofore issued 

 is so full upon the science of the art of surgery.

We have made ourselves more intimately acquaint- 

 ed with its details, and can now pronounce it to be 

 one of the best treatises on surgery in the English 

 language. In conclusion, we very strongly recom- 

 mend this excellent work, both to the practitioner 

 and student. Canada Med. Journal. 



Our impression is, that as a manual for students,
