“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 telicitates himself on 
the large sales obtained for the previous editions. 
and there is no reason why the present 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 elsewhere. 
This remark applies both to pathology and treat- 
ment. The fullness with which therapeutics are 
taught stands in noteworthy contrast to the ma- 
jority of treatises on practice. This, too, is un- 
doubtedly a feature which will be agreeable to 
numerous 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 
called for in six years is, perhaps, the most flatter- 
ing testimonial that a book can receive, and must 
outweigh every other comment, favorable or un- 
favorable. In the preface to this edition is an 
announcement which will be welcomed by all of 
Dr. Bartholow’s numerous admirers, nataaly, 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 con- 
stitute a monument which will render the writer's 
fame almost undying.”—Medical Fress-of Western 
New York. ; 
“Professor Bartholow announces in the preface 
of this edition his intention of preparing a work 
in three volumes which shall cover the whole do- 
main of special pathology and therapeutics. The 
volume on ‘Materia Medica’ appeared some time 
Ae but the third volume, which will treat of the 
‘Principles of Medicine,’ is now in course of care- 
ful preparation, and will, when published, complete 
a most valuable set. The present edition of ise 
fessor Bartholow’s ‘ Practice’ is considerably larger 
than the last, several new subjects having been in- 
troduced, together with numerous new illustrations, 
It is jap | ty ate with practitioners and 
students, and likely ere long to become one of the 
standard works on practice, if it has not already 
attained this position.”’—Facifie Medical and Sur- 
gical Journal and Western Lancet. 
‘‘The deserved popularity of this work is at- 
tested by the fact that the first edition was issued 
in 1880, that a second was demanded in three 
months, and that the others have followed them in 
rapid succession and been met by appreciative 
students always. The author says in his preface 
to this edition that he has sought to make it worthy 
of the approbation of his readers by increasing the 
practical resources of his work, devoting his atten- 
tion 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 
conscientious!y indorse or present for considera- 
tion, continues to hold its place among the 
standard text-books on all matters included mm it.” 
—WNorth Carolina Medical Journal, 
“This valuable work appears in its sixth edi- 
tion considerably enlarged, and improved materi- 
ally in many respects. The arrangement of the 
subjects 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 practice, without anything superfluous. 
Considering the immense scope of subjects, the 
directness of statement, and the plain, terse man- 
ner of dealing with the phenomena of disease, this 
ractical work has no counterpart.’’—Kansaa City
