D. APPLETON 6- CO.'S MEDICAL WORKS. 



CYCLOPEDIA OF PRACTICAL RECEIPTS, and Col- 

 lateral Information in the Arts, Manufactures, Professions, and Trades, 

 including Medicine, Pharmacy, and Domestic Economy. Designed as a 

 Comprehensive Supplement to the Pharmacopoeia, and General Book of 

 Reference for the Manufacturer, Tradesman, Amateur, and Heads of Fam- 

 ilies. Sixth edition, revised and partly rewritten by RICHARD V. TUSON, 

 Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology in the Royal Veterinary College. 

 Complete in 2 vols., 1,796 pp. With Illustrations. Cloth, $9.00. 



Cooley's "Cyclopaedia of Practical Receipts " has for many years enjoyed an extended reputa- 

 tion for its accuracy and comprehensiveness. The sixth edition, now just completed, is larger 

 than the last by some six hundred pages. Much greater space than hitherto is devoted to Hygiene 

 (including sanitation, the composition and adulteration of foods), as well as to the Arts, Phar- 

 macy, Manufacturing Chemistry, and other subjects of importance to those for whom the work is 

 intended. The articles on what is commonly termed "Household Medicine" have been ampli- 

 fied and numerically increased. 



The design of this work is briefly but not completely expressed in its title-page. Independ- 

 ently of a reliable and comprehensive collection of formulae and processes in nearly all the indus- 

 trial and useful arts, it contains a description of the leading properties and applications of the 

 substances referred to, together with ample directions, hints, data, and allied information, cal- 

 culated to facilitate the development of the practical value of the book in the shop, the laboratory, 

 the factory, and the household. Notices of the substances embraced in the Materia Medica, in 

 addition to the whole of their preparations, and numerous other animal and vegetable substances 

 employed in medicine, as well as most of those used for food, clothing, and fuel, with their eco- 

 nomic applications, have been included in the work. The synonyms and references are other addi- 

 tions which will prove invaluable to the reader. Lastly, there have been appended to all the 

 principal articles referred to brief but clear directions for determining their purity and commercial 

 value, and for detecting their presence and proportions in compounds. The indiscriminate adop- 

 tion of matter, without examination, has been uniformly avoided, and in no instance has any form- 

 ula or process been admitted into this work, unless it rested on some well-known fact of science, 

 had been sanctioned by usage, or come recommended by some respectable authority. 



THE COMPARATIVE ANATOMY OF THE DOMES- 

 TICATED ANIMALS. By A. CHAUVEAU, Professor at the Lyons Vet- 

 erinary School. Second edition, revised and enlarged, with the co-operation

 Professor at the Toulouse Veterinary School. Translated and edited by 

 George Fleming, F. R. G. S., M. A. I., Veterinary Surgeon, Royal Engineers. 

 I vol., 8vo, 957 pp. With 450 Illustrations. Cloth, $6.00. 



SPECIMEN OF ILLUSTRATION. 



"Taking it altogether, the book is a very wel- 

 come addition to English literature, and great credit 

 is due to Mr. Fleming for the excellence of the trans- 

 lation, and the many additional notes he has ap- 

 pended to Chauvean's treatise." Lancet (London}. 



" The descriptions of the text are illustrated and 



assisted by no less than 450 excellent woodcuts. In 

 a work which ranges over so vast a field of anatomi- 

 cal detail and description, it is difficult to select any 

 one portion for review, but our examination of it 

 enables us to speak in high terms of its general ex- 

 cellence. . . ." Medical Times and Gazette (Lon- 

 don).
