A monument of intelligent and well applied re- 

 Beurch, almost without example. It is, indeed, in 

 itself, a large library, and is destined to constitute 

 the special resort as a book of reference, in the 

 subject of which it treats, to all future time. 



We have not time at present, engaged as we are, 

 by day and by night, in the work of combating this 

 very disease, now prevailing in our city, to do more 

 than give this cursory notice of what we consider 

 as undoubtedly the most able and erudite medical 

 publication our country has yet produced. But in 

 view of the startling fact, that this, the most malig- 

 nant and unmanageable disease of modern times, 

 has for several years been prevailing in our country 

 to a greater extent than ever before; that it is no 

 longer confined to either large or small cities, but 

 penetrates country villages, plantations, and farm- 

 houses ; that it is treateu with scarcely better suc- 

 cess now than thirty or forty years ago; that there 

 is vast mischief done by ignorant pretenders to know- 

 ledge in regard to the disease, and in view of the pro- 

 bability that a majority of southern physicians will 

 be called upon to treat the disease, we trust that this 

 able and comprehensive treatise will he very gene- 

 rally read in the south. Memphis Med. Recorder. 



This is decidedly <A great American medical work 

 of the day a full, complete, and systematic treatise, 

 unequalled by any other upon the all-important sub- 

 ject of Yellow Fever. The laborious, indefatigable, 

 and learned author has devoted to it many years of 



is such as will reflect the highest honor upon the 

 author and our country. Southern Med. and Surg. 

 Journal. 



The genius and scholarship of this great physician 

 could riot have been better employed than in the 

 erection of this towering monument to his own fame, 

 and to the glory of the medical literature of his own 

 country. It is destined to remain the great autho- 

 rity upon the subject of Yellow Fever. The student 

 and physician will find in these volumes a resumS 

 of the sum total of the knowledge of the world upon 

 the awful scourge which they so elaborately discuss. 

 The style is so soft and so pure as to refresh and in- 

 vigorate the mind while absorbing the thoughts of 

 the gifted author, while the publishers have suc- 

 ceeded in bringing the externals into a most felu-itous 

 harmony with the inspiration that dwells within. 

 Take it all in all, it is a book we have often dreamed 

 of, but dreamed not that it would ever meet our 

 waking eye as a tangible reality. Nashville Journal 

 of Medicine. 



We deem it fortunate that the splendid work of 

 Dr. La Roche should have been issued from the press 

 at this particular time. The want of a reliable di- 

 gest of all that is known in relation to this frightful 

 malady has long been felt a want very satisfactorily 

 met in the work before us. We deem it but, faint 

 praise to say that Dr. La Rcche has succeeded in 

 presenting the profession with an able and complete 

 monograph, one which will find its way into every 

 well ordered library. Va. Stethoscope.

This great work, universally acknowledged as the most complete and authoritative exposition of 

 the principles and details ot Zoochemistry, in its passage through the press, has received from 

 Professor Rogers such care as was necessary to present it in a correct and reliable form. The work 

 is, therefore, presented as in every way worthy the attention of all who desire to be familiar with 

 the modern facts and doctrines of Physiological Science.

In adopting the handbook of Dr. Lehmann as a manual of Organic Chemistry for the^use of the 

 students of the University, and in recommending his original work of PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY 

 for their more mature studies, the high value of his researches, and the great weight of his autho- 

 rity in that important department of medical science are fully recognized.
