AN ANALYTICAL COMPENDIUM OF THE VARIOUS BRANCHES 



OF MEDICAL SCIENCE ; for the Use and Examination of Students. A new edition, revised 

 and improved. In one very large and handsomely printed royal 12mo. volume, of about one 

 thousand pages, with 374 wood-cuts. Strongly bound in leather, with raised bands. $3 00. 

 The very flattering reception which has been accorded to this work, and the high estimate placed 

 upon it by the profession, as evinced by the constant and increasing demand which has rapidly ex- 

 hausted two large editions, have stimulated the authors to render the volume in its present revision 

 more worthy of the success which has attended it. It has accordingly been thoroughly examined, 

 and such errors as had on former occasions escaped observation have been corrected, and whatever 

 additions were necessary to maintain it on a level with the advance of science have been introduced. 

 The extended series of illustrations has been still further increased and much improved, while, by 

 a slight enlargement of the page, these various additions have been incorporated without increasing 

 the bulk of the volume. 



The work is, therefore, again presented as eminently worthy of the favor with which it has hitherto 

 been received. As a book for daily reference by the student requiring a guide to his more elaborate 

 text-books, as a manual for preceptors desiring to stimulate their students by frequent and accurate 

 examination, or as a source from which the practitioners of older date may easily and cheaply acquire 

 a knowledge of the changes and improvement in professional science, its reputation is permanently 

 established. 



the students is heavy, and review necessary for am 

 examination, a compend is not only valuable, but 

 it is almost a sine qua non. The one before us is, 

 in most of the divisions, the most unexceptionable 

 of all books of the kind that we know of. The 

 newest and soundest doctrines and the latest im- 

 provements and discoveries are explicitly, though 

 concisely, laid before the student. There is a class 

 to whom we very sincerely commend this cheap book 

 as worth its weight in silver that class is the gradu- 

 ates in medicine of more than ten years' standing, 

 who have not studied medicine since. They will 

 perhaps find out from it that the science is not exactly 

 now what it was when they left it off. The Stetho-

The best work of the kind with which we are

Having made free use of this volume in our ex- 

 aminations of pupils, we can speak from experi- 

 ence in recommending it as an admirable cornpend 

 for students, and as especially useful to preceptors 

 who examine their pupils. It will save the teacher 

 much labor by enabling him readily to recall all of 

 the points upon which his pupils should be ex- 

 amined. A work of this sort should be in the hands 

 of every one who takes pupils into his office with a 

 view of examining them; and this is unquestionably 

 the best of its class. Transylvania Med, Journal .

ATLAS OF CUTANEOUS DISEASES. In one beautiful quarto volume, extra 



cloth, with splendid colored plates, presenting nearly one hundred elaborate representations of 



disease. $4 50. 



This beautiful volume is intended as a complete and accurate representation of all the varieties 

 of Diseases of the Skin. While it can be consulted in conjunction with any work on Practice, it has 

 especial reference to the author's " Treatise on Diseases of the Skin," so favorably received by the 

 profession some years since. The publishers feel justified in saying that few more beautifully exe- 

 cuted plates have ever been presented to the profession of this country. 



A compend which will very much aid the practi- I long existent desideratum much felt by the largest 

 tioner in this difficult branch of diagnosis. Taken class of our profession. It presents, in quarto size, 

 with the beautiful plates of the Atlap, which are 

 remarkable for their accuracy and beauty of color- 



ing, it constitutes a very valuable addition to the 

 library of a practical man. Buffalo Med. Journal. 

 Sept. 1856. 



Nothing is often more difficult than the diagnosis 

 of disease of the skin; and hitherto, the only works 

 containing illustrations have been at rather incon- 

 venient prices prices, indeed, that prevented gene- 

 ral use. The work before us will supply a want 

 Ion? felt, and minister to a more perfect acquaintance 

 with the nature and treatment of a very frequent 



and troublesome form of disease.

Ohio Med. and 



Neligan's Atlas of Cutaneous Diseases supplies a 



16 plates, each containing from 3 to 6 figures, and 

 forming in all a total of 90 distinct representations 



of the different species of skin affections, grouped 

 together in genera or families. The illustrations 

 have been taken from nature, and have been copied 

 with such fidelity that they present a striking picture 

 of life; in which the reduced scale aptly serves to 

 give, at a coup d'ceil, the remarkable peculiarities 

 of each individual variety. And while thus the dis- 

 ease is rendered more definable, there is yet no loss 

 of proportion incurred by the necessary concentra- 

 tion. Each figure is highly colored, and so truthful 

 has the artist been that the mostfastid ous observer 

 could not justly take exception to the correctness of 

 the execution of the pictures under his scrutiny.
