This important work is written in a plain and concise manner by a 
gentieman of large experience as a pharmacist, and who seems therefore 
to have fully comprehended the want of a reliable and scientific Dispen- 
satory. 
One of the special features which characterizes this work, and which 
to a certain extent accounts for its length, is the enumeration under 
each drug of the several preparations empioyed, with explicit directions 
for each, instead of the plan adopted in all other similar works, of refer- 
ring to stated classification to be found elsewhere. There can be no doubt 
that this method will be found much more convenient, especially to those 
who are not familar with the special manipulation required, and the in- 
creased size and cost of the volume will be overlooked. This work is 
evidently that of a master hand, and will undoubtedly be of great service 
to such as may require it—Mew York Medical Times. 
A careful scrutiny of the body of the work shows that the author 
has worthily fulfilled the task set before him. No one who desires to 
prepare medicines according to the homeopathic formulary will be be- 
fogged by the directions given here. Everything is plain, orderly, 
judicious ; while the typographical neatness of the work adds greatly 
to the pleasure and ease with which it may be consulted.—Dr. Winter- 
burn, in American Homeopathist. 
The work is a very satisfactory one.— The Medical Record. 
It will be along time before a Dispensatory equally valuable will 
be given to the profession, and it is a work every physician should have 
in his library.—Dr. £. AL. Hale.
