A TREATISE ON THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, 



for the Use of Students and Practitioners. By ROBERTS BARTHOLOW, 

 M. A., M. D., LL. D., Professor of Materia Medica and General Therapeu- 

 tics in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia ; recently Professor of 

 the Practice of Medicine and of Clinical Medicine in the Medical College 

 of Ohio, in Cincinnati, etc., etc. 



Sixth edition, revised and enlarged, i vol., 8vo. Cloth, $5.00; sheep or half russia, $6.00. 



The same qualities and characteristics which have rendered the author's "Treatise on Materia 

 Medica and Therapeutics " so acceptable are equally manifest in this. It is clear, condensed, and 

 accurate. The whole work is brought up on a level with, and incorporates, the latest acquisitions 

 of medical science, and may be depended on to contain the most recent information up to the date 

 of publication.

"The large number of readers who are 



already familiar with this work will be glad 

 to learn that the present edition has been 

 carefully revised by the author, considerably 

 enlarged, and is intended to include all that 

 has in the most recent period been added to 

 practical medicine, especially in its clinical 

 horizon. The author felicitates himself on 

 the large sales obtained for the previous edi- 

 tions, and there is no reason why the pres- 

 ent one should not continue to gain in the 

 opinion of many. What doubtless lends 

 the volume one of its special attractions to 

 these is the authoritative expressions which 

 are frequent in its pages on subjects where 

 the reader might be left in uncertainty else- 

 where. This remark applies both to pa- 

 thology and treatment. The fullness with 

 which therapeutics are taught stands in 

 noteworthy contrast to the majority of treat- 

 ises on practice. This, too, is undoubtedly 

 a feature which will be agreeable to numer- 

 ous purchasers. Some seeming excess of 

 conciseness in certain portions is explained 

 by the fact that this is but one volume of a 

 series proposed by the author, which will 

 cover the whole domain of special pathology and therapeutics." Medical and Surgical Reporter. 



"That six editions of such a work should be " The deserved popularity of this work is attested

 weigh every other comment, favorable or unfavor-

 ment which will be welcomed by all of Dr. Bartho- 

 low's numerous admirers, namely, that he has now 

 in preparation another work on the ' Principles of 

 Medicine ' which, together with the one under review, 

 and his 'Materia Medica and Therapeutics,' shall 

 constitute a trio of volumes, each containing matter 

 complementary to the others. Certainly three such 

 volumes must constitute a monument which will ren-

that the others have followed them in rapid suc- 

 cession and been met by appreciative students al- 

 ways. The author says in his preface to this edition 

 that he has sought to make it worthy of the appro- 

 bation of his readers by increasing the practical re- 

 sources of his work, devoting his attention chiefly to 

 the clinical aspects of medicine, without overlooking 

 the advances made in the scientific branch. This 

 book, like the previous editions of the work, is the 

 product of a master and an honored authority, and 

 in its new form, with such of the latest ideas as the 

 author can conscientiously indorse or present for

appears to be pretty much the same as in former 

 editions, and the description of diseases is also little 

 modified. Some new chapters have been added, 

 however, and new subjects introduced, making the 

 volume completely cover the entire domain of prac-

 the immense scope of subjects, the directness of
