"The most complete medical dictionary in the English language."— Western Lancet. t 



" We think that -the author's anxious wish to render the work a satisfactory and desirable— if not indispen- 

 sable — Lexicon, in which the student may search without disappointment for every term that has been 

 legitimated in ihe nomenclature of the science,' has been fully accomplished. Such a work is much needed 

 by all medical students and young physicians, and will doubtless continue in extensive demand. It W a 

 lasting monument of the industry and literary attainments of the author, who has long occupied the highest 

 rank among the medical teachers of America." — The Neiv Orleans Medical and Svrgical Journal. 



"The simple announcement of the fact that Dr. Dunglison's Dictionary has reached a sixth edition, is almost 

 as high praise as could be bestowed upon it by an elaborate notice. It is one of those standard works that nave 

 been 4 weighed in the balance and (not) been found wanting ' It has siood the test of experience, and the fre- 

 quent calls for new editions, prove conclusively that it is held by the profession and by students in the h, g ne *| 

 estimation. The present edition is not a mere reprint of former ones; the author has for ^ on ; e time neeri 

 laboriously engaged in revising and making such alterations and additions as are required by the rapid pro- 

 gress of our science, and the introduction of new terms into our vocabulary. In proof of this it is , 8ta, * a "* * 

 the present edition comprises nearly two thousand five hundred subjects and terms not contained m me jasi. 

 Many of these had been introduced into medical terminology in consequence of the progress ot the science, 

 and others had escaped notice in previous revisions.' We think that the earnest wish of the author na* oeen 

 accomplished; and that he has succeeded in rendering the work ; a satisfactory and desirable— » notiii i - 

 pensable— Lexicon, in which the student may search, without disappointment, for every term that naa i oeeii 

 legitimated in the nomenclature of the science.' This desideratum he has been enabled to attempt m *uc 

 cessive editions, by reason of the work not being stereotyped ; and the present edition. certainly °« e . rs J^ ° "^ 

 claims to the attention of the practitioner and student, than any of its predecessors. The work is go u\ 

 the usual good taste of the publishers, and we recommend it in full confidence to all who have not >et auppucu 

 themselves with so indispensable an addition to their libraries."— The New York Journal of Medicine.

Sixth edition, greatly improved.— In two large octavo volumes, containing nearly 1350 pages. 

 " It is but necessary for the Author to say, that all the cares that were bestowed on the preparation o ^ 

 fifth edition have been exiended to the sixth, and even to a greater amount. Nothing V m P orla / l -?, e 1 ^! ral i oll g
