It embraces a library upon the topics discussed ceive this contribution to physiological science, 

 within itself, and is just what the teacher and learner u Not with vain thanks, but with acceptance boun- 

 need. Another advantage, by no means to be over- \ teous." We have aln-ady paid it the practical 

 looked, everything of real value in the wide rarige , compliment of making abundant use of it in the 

 which it embraces, is with great ^kill compressed j preparation of our lectures, and also of recommend- 

 into an octavo volume of but little more than six \ ing its further perusal most cordially to our alumni; 



hundred pages. We have not only the whole sub- 

 ject of Histology, interesting in itself, ably and fully 

 discussed, but what is of infinitely greater interest 

 to the student, because of greater practical value, 



are its relations to Anatomy, 



y, and Pa- 



thology, which are here fully and satisfactorily set 

 forth. These great supporting branches of practical 

 medicine are thus linked together, and while estab- 

 lishing and illustrating each other, are interwoven 



into a harmonious whole. We commend the work j k w all that is known of t he great fundamental 

 to students_and physicians generally ._ Nashville principles of medicine, and we have no hesitation 



a recommendation which we now extend to our 

 readers. Memphis Med. Recorder, Jan. 1858. 



We would recommend it to the medical student 

 and practitioner, as containing a summary of all that 

 is known of the important subjects which it treats ; 

 of all that is contained in the great works of Simon 

 and Lelnnann, and the organic chemists in general. 

 Master this one volume, we would say to the medical 

 student and practitioner master this book and you

It far surpasses our expectation. We never con- 

 ceived the possibility of compressing so much valu- 

 able information into so compact a form. We will 

 not consume space with commendations. We re- 



in saying that it is an honor to the American medi- 

 cal profession that one of its members should have 

 produced it. St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal, 

 March, 1858.

AN INTRODUCTION TO PRACTICAL PHARMACY. Designed as a Text- 



Book for the Student, and as a Guide for the Physician and Pharmaceutist. With many For- 

 mulae and Prescriptions. In one handsome octavo volume, extra cloth, of 550 pages, with 243 

 Illustrations. $2 75. 



A careful examination of this work enables us to 

 speak of it in the highest terms, as being the best 

 treatise on practical pharmacy with which we are 

 acquainted, and an invaluable vade-mecum, not only 

 to the apothecary and to those practitioners who are 

 accustomed to prepare their own medicines, but to 

 every medical man and medical student. Through- 

 out the work are interspersed valuable tables, useful 

 formulae, and practical hints, and the whole is illus- 

 trated by a large number of excellent wood-engrav- 

 ings. Boston Med. and Surg. Journal. 



This is altogether one of the most useful books we 

 kave seen. It is just what we have long felt to be 

 needed by apothecaries, students, and practitioners 

 of medicine, most of whom in this country have to 

 put up their own prescriptions. It bears, upon every 

 page, the impress of practical knowledge, conveyed 

 in a plain common sense manner, and adapted to the 

 comprehension of all who may read it. No detail 

 has been omitted, however trivial it may seem, al- 

 though really important to the dispenser of medicine. 

 Southern Med. and Surg. Journal. 



To both the country practitioner and the city apo- 

 thecary this work of Mr. Parnsh is a godsend. A 

 careful study of its contents will give the young 

 graduate a familiarity with the value and mode of 

 administering his prescuptions, which will be of as 

 much use to his patient as to himself. Va. Med. 

 Journal. 



Mr. Parrish has rendered a very acceptable service 

 to the practitioner and student, by furnishing this 

 book, which contains the leading facts and principles 

 of the science of Pharmacy, conveniently arranged 

 for study, and with special reference to those features 

 of the subject which possess an especial practical in- 

 terest to the physician. It furnishes the student, at 

 the commencement of his studies, with that infor- 

 mation which is of the greatest importance in ini- 

 tiating him into the domain of Chemistry and Materia 

 Medica; it familiarizes him with the compounding 

 of drugs, and supplies those minutiae which but few 

 practitioners can impart. The junior practitioner 

 will, also, find this volume replete with instruction. 

 Charleston Med. Journal and Review. 



There is no useful information in the details of the 

 apothecary's or country physician's office conducted 

 according >o science that is omitted. The young 

 physician will find it an encyclopedia of indispensa- 

 ble medical knowledge, from the purchase of a spa- 

 tula to the compounding of the most learned pre- 

 scriptions. The woikis by the ablest pharmaceutist 

 in the United States, and must meet with an im- 

 mense sale. Nashville Journal of Medicine. 



We are glad to receive this excellent work. It 

 will supply a want long felt by the profession, and 

 especially by the student of Pharmacy. A large 

 majority of physicians are obliged to compound 

 their own medicines, and to them a work of this 

 kind is indispensable. N. O. Medical and Surgical 

 Journal.
