Dr. Ruddock’s popular books have had a remarkable sale, both in 
England and America. This book is a handsome reprint of the whole, 
with notes and chapters adapting it to the American public. Every 
disease has received full attention, special care having been given to 
those of women and children. 
Dr. Ruddock’s well-known Vade-Mecum, Diseases of Women, Dis- 
eases of Infants and Children and his Essentials of Diet have been re- 
arranged and extended by Dr. Gross, of the Chicago A/edical Era, 
and are now published in one handsome volume, under the title of 
“Ruddock’s Family Doctor.” These works have already benefited thou- 
sands upon thousands, and in the new dress in which they are now pre- 
sented deserve and cannot fail to have a large circulation.—American 
Hlomaopathist. 
This splendid volume is the most complete book for the family 
that has ever been published for our school, and I most heartily recom- 
mend it to all —&. M. Hale, M. D. 
“ Ruddock’s Family Doctor,” edited by Dr. Gross, is in my opinion 
to be preferred above all other works for family use.—¥. HM. Buffum, Af. 
D., Prof. of Diseases of the Eye and Ear in the Chicago. Homaopathic 
Med. College. 
In the editor’s preface to “Dr. Ruddock’s Family Doctor,” the 
entire story as to its usefulness has been told, namely, that the author’s 
popular writings are unequaled—with the exception that in the com- 
pilation they have been “Americanized,” that is to say, they have been 
made even more domestic by the additional chapters and notes of Dr. 
Gross. After a careful reading itis my opinion, as a gu/de for domestic 
treatment, that “Dr. Ruddock’s Family Doctor” is positively unexcelled.

satory. 
\We can commend it in good faith to all our readers, strict Hahne- 
mannians or otherwise —Vorth American Fournal of Homaopathy. 
Full to overflowing of valuable material gathered from all sources. 
As an exponent of the best treatment of disease, in brief form and up 
to date, it is not surpassed.—//ahnemannian Monthly. 
I consider it the best medical work for the use of families yet pub- 
lished. It is full of practical hints.— Yokn R. Kippax, M.D. LL. Bs

College.
