THE SCIENCE AND AKT OF SURGERY; BEING A TREATISE ON SURGICAL 



INJURIES, DISKASES, AND OPERATIONS. New and improved American, from the second enlarged 



and carefully revised London edition. Illustrated with over four hundred engravings on wood. 



In one large and handsome octavo volume, rf one thousand closely printed pages, leather, 



raised bands. $4 50. (Now Ready, January, 1859.) 



The very distinguished favor with which this work has been received on both sides of the Atlan- 

 tic has stimulated the author to render it even more worthy of the position which it has so rapidly 

 attained as a standard authority. Every portion has been carefully revised, numerous additions 

 have been made, and the most watchful care has been exercised to render it a complete exponent 

 of the most advanced condition of surgical science. In this manner the work has been enlarged by 

 about a hundred pages, while the series of engravings has been increased by more than a hundred, 

 rendering it one of the most thoroughly illustrated volumes before the profession. The additions of 

 the author having rendered unnecessary most of the notes of the former American editor, but little 

 has been added in this country; some few notes and occasional illustrations have, however, been 

 introduced to elucidate American modes of practice. 



It is, in our humble judgment, decidedly the best 

 book of the kind in the English language. Strange 

 that just such books are notoftener produced by pub- 

 lic teachers of surgery in this country and Great 

 Britain Indeed, it is a matter of great astonishment, 

 but no less true than astonishing, that of the many 

 works on surgery republished in this country within 

 the last fifteen or twenty years as text-books for 

 medical students, this is the only one that even ap- 

 proximates to the fulfilment of the peculiar wants of 

 youngmen just enlermgnpon the study of thisbranch 

 of the profession. Western Jour, of Med. and Surgery. 



Its value is greatly enhanced by a very copious 

 well-arranged index. We regard this as one of the 

 most valuable contributions to modern surgery. To 

 one entering his novitiate of practice, we regard it 

 the most serviceable guide which he can consult. He 

 will find a fulness of detail leading him through every 



step of the operation, and not deserting him until the 

 final issue of the case is decided. Sethoscope. 



Embracing, as will be perceived, the whole surgi- 

 cal domain, and each division of itself almost com- 

 plete and perfect, each chapter full and explicit, each 

 subject faithfully exhibited, we can only express om 

 estimate of it in the aggregate. We consider it an 

 excellent contribution to surgery, as probably the 

 best single volume now extant on the subject, and 

 with great pleasure we add it to our text-books. 

 Nashville Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



Prof. Erichsen's work, for its size, has not been 

 surpassed; his nine hundred and eight pages, pro- 

 fusely illustrated, are rich in physiological, patholo- 

 gical, and operative suggestions, doctrines, details, 

 and processes ; and will prove a reliable resource 

 for information, both to physician and surgeon, in the 

 hour of peril. N. 0. Med. and Surg. Journal. 



ELLIS (BENJAMIN), M. D. 

 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. To which is added 

 an Appendix, on the Endermic use of Medicines, and on the use of Ether and Chloroform. The 

 whole accompanied with a few brief Pharmaceutic and Medical Observations. Tenth edition, 

 revised and much extended by ROBERT P. THOMAS, M. D., Professor of Materia Medica in the 

 Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. In one neat octavo volume, extra cloth, of 296 pages. $1 75. 



FOWNES (GEORGE), PH. D., &c. 

 A MANUAL OF ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY; Theoretical and Practical. 



From the seventh revised and corrected London edition. With one hundred and ninety-seven 

 illustrations. Edited by ROBERT BRIDGES, M. D. In one large royal 12mo. volume, of 600 

 pages. In leather, $1 65; extra cloth, $1 50. (Now Ready, July, 1859.) 



The death of the author having placed the editorial care of this work in the practiced hands ol 

 Drs. Bence Jones and A. W. Hoffman, everything has been done in its revision which experience 

 could suggest to keep it on a level with the rapid advance of chemical science. The additions 

 requisite to this purpose have necessitated an enlargement of the page, notwithstanding which the 

 work has been increased by about fifty pages. At the same time every care has been used to 

 maintain its distinctive character as a condensed manual for the student, divested of all unnecessary 

 detail or mere theoretical speculation. The additions have, of course, been mainly in the depart- 

 ment of Organic Chemistry, which has made such rapid progress within the last few years, but 

 yet equal attention has been bestowed on the other branches of the subject Chemical Physics and 

 Inorganic Chemistry to present all investigations and discoveries of importance, and to keep up 

 the reputation of the volume as a complete manual of the whole science, admirably adapted for the 

 learner. By the use of a small but exceedingly clear type the matter of a large octavo is compressed 

 within the convenient and portable limits of a moderate sized duodecimo, and at the very low price 

 affixed, it is offered as one of the cheapest volumes before the profession. 

 A few notices of former editions are appended. 



We know of no better text-book, especially in the 

 difficult department of organic chemistry, upon 

 which it is particularly full and satisfactory. We 

 would recommend it to preceptors as a capital 

 " office book" for their students who are beginners 

 in Chemistry. It is copiously illustrated with ex- 

 cellent wood-cuts, and altogether admirably "got 

 up." iV. J. Medical Reporter. 



A standard manual, which has long enjoyed the 

 reputation of embodying much knowledge in a small 

 space. The author has achieved the difficult task of 

 condensation with masterly tact. His book is con- 

 cise without being dry, and brief without being too 

 dogmatical or general. Virginia Med. and Surgical 

 Journal . 



The work of Dr. Fownes has long been before 

 the public, and its merits have been fully appreci- 

 ated as the best text-book on chemistry now in 

 existence. We do not, of course, place it in a rank 

 superior to the works of Brande, Graham, Turner, 

 Gregory, or Gmelin, but we say that, as a work 

 for students, it is preferable to any of them. Lon- 

 don Journal of Medicine. 



A work well adapted to the wants of the student 

 It is an excellent exposition of the chief doctrines 

 and facts of modern chemistry. Thesizeof the work, 

 and still more the condensed yet perspicuous style 

 in which it is written, absolve it from the charges 

 very properly urged against most manuals termed 

 popular. Edinburgh Journal of Medical Science.
