CATALOGUE OF MEDICAL WORKS. 8 
“There are few writers who have taken the 
trouble to compile the lucubrations of the multitude 
of scribblers who find a specific in every drug they 
happen to prescribe for a selt-limited, non-malig- 
nant disease ; and fewer who can detect the trashy 
chaff and garner only the ripe, plump grains, 
This Bartholow has done, and no one is more ripe, 
nor better qualified for this herculean task; and, 
the best of all is, condense it all in his antago- 
risms. No one can peruse its pregnant pages 
without noticing the painstaking research and 
large collection of authorities from which he has 
drawn his conclusions. The paeautoner who pur- 
chases these antagonisms will find himself better 
qualified to cope with the multifarious maladies 
after its careful perusal.”’—Jndiana Medical Re- 
porter, 
‘« The criticisms made upon these lectures have 
_ invariably been most favorable, the topic itself is 
one of the most interesting in the entire range of 
medicine, and it is treated of by the accomplished 
author in a most scholarly manner. Dr. Bartholow 
worthily ranks as one of the best writers, while at 
the same time one of the most diligent workers, in 
the medical ficld in all America, and there can be 
no doubt that this, his latest contribution to medi- 
cal science, will add materially to his previously 
high reputation. Much profit, no little pleasure, 
and material assistance in the solution of many 
therapeutical problems are to be obtained from a 
perusal of these lectures. The author has done 
wisely and conferred a boon by permitting their 
publication in the present book-form, and we-are 
satisfied it will be extensively asked for, and just 
as extensively read and appreciated.’’— Canada 
Medical.and Surgical wouat, 
‘‘It will be observed that the scope of’ the work 
is extensive, and, in justice to the author, not only 
is the extent of this indicated, but the character of 
it is also furnished. No one can read the synopsis 
given without being impressed with the importance 
and diversity ot the subjects considered. Indeed 
most of the important torces in therapeutics and 
materia medica are herein stated and analyzed.””— 
American Medical Bi- Weekly, 
“Probably most of our readers will consider 
that we bave awarded this treatise high praise 
when we say that it seems to us the most carefull, 
written, best thought-out, and least dogmatic wor! 
which we have yet read from the pen of' its author. 
It_is indeed a very praiseworthy book; not an 
original research, indeed, but, as a résumé of the 
world’s work upon the subject, the best that has 
hitherto been published in any Janguage.’?—

Seventh edition, revised and enlarged. 
The following are notices of the sixth edition: 
“The very best evidence of the success of a 
work is the continuous and increasing demand for 
it. Bartholow’s ‘Materia Medica and Therapeu- 
tics’ has followed this course since the appearance 
of the first edition, in June, 1876, and has com- 
Peles the publishers to again place before the pro- 
ession the sixth edition. In this issue of the work 
the author has revised the former edition most 
caretully, and has included in its pages the latest 
and the most valuable remedies. About one hun- 
dred pages have thus been added to this valuable 
work, the new contributions having, as the author 
states, been assigned to places according to their 
physiological relations, The many additions, just 
referred to, can only be observed by a careful ex- 
amination of’ all parts of the book. . . . The work 
is not only, as in former editions, well arranged, 
but is the most progressive one of all those now 
before the profession, in the thorough consideration 
of all therapeutic measures of value in the treat- 
ment of disease.””—Medical Register. 
“Since 1876 this work has passed through six 
editions, a degree of favor which is seldom ac- 
corded to médical works. . . . We have written in 
former issues of the Journal our appreciation of 
this volume, and we take this occasion to say that 
we consider it essential to every well-selected 
library.’—Worth Carolina Medical Journal. 
“Jt is to be naturally assumed that the appear- 
ance of six editions of this work in a period of a 
little more than eleven years is an indication of 
the measure of appreciation in which it is held by 
the profession. . . . The author’s additions have 
been extensive and important, and give increased 
value to a work that is already recognized as oc- 
cupying a very conspicuous place in the medical 
literature of the day.”—College and Clinical 
Record. 
“Since Bartholow’s ‘ Materia Medica’ appcared 
eleven years ago, its several editions have occupied 
a place of which its author may well feel proud. 
In the present edition we find much new matter 
which, taken as a whole, adds nearly one bundred 
pages. The ‘Clinical Index,’ which contributes 
greatly to the value of the book, has been retained. 
But few books become so popular as Bartholow’s 
‘ Materia Medica.’ "—Practice. 
“ Bartholow’s ‘ Materia Medica’ is a book too 
well known to the practitioners of medicine to 
need at this day any review. . . . Unquestionably 
the new edition is a great improvement on the old 
one; and even if nothing were added but a sum- 
mary statement about new remedies in use since 
the last edition, the work would be desirable.’?— 
Gaillard’s Medical Journal.
