“ Not only is the work a Dictionary of Medicine 
in its fullest sense, but it is 80 encyclopedic in its 
scope that it may be considered a condensed re- 
view of the entire field of practical medicine, 
Each subject is marked up to date and contains in 
a nutshell the accumulated experience of the lead- 
ing medical men of the day. As a volume for 
ready reference and careful study, it will be found 
of immense value to the general practitioner and 
student.’”’— Medical Record. 
“The ‘Medical Dictionary’ of Dr. Quain is 
something more than its title would at first indi- 
cate. -It might with equal propriety be called an 
encyclopzedia,.- The different diseases are fully 
discussed in alphabetical order. The description 
of each includes an account of its various attri- 
butes, often covering several pages. Although we 
have possessed the book only the short time since 
its publication, its loss would leave a void we 
would not know how to fill."— Boston Medical 
and Surgical Journal. 
‘* Although a volume of over 1,800 pages, it is 
truly a mulium in parvo, and will be found of 
much more practical utility than other works 
which might be named extending over many vol- 
umes. The profession of this country are under 
ShbgnHne to you for the republication of the 
work, and I desire to congratulate you on the ex- 
cellence of the illustrations, together with the 
excellent typograpbiogk execution in all respects.’

“Tt is with gree pleasure, indeed, that we an- 
nounce the publication in this country, by the Ap- 
pletons, of this most superb work. Of all the 
medical works which have been, and which will 
be, published this year, the most fonaplonons one 
as embodying gan and research—the compiia- 
tion into one great volume, as it were, of the whole 
science and art of medicine—is the “Dictionary of 
Medicine’ of Dr. Quain. Ziemssen’s ‘ Practice of 
Medicine’ and Reynolds’s ‘System of Medicine’ 
are distinguished works, forming compilations, in 
the single department of practice, of the labors of 
many very eminent physicians, each one in his 
contributions pees the results of his own ob- 
servations and experiences, as well as those of the 
investigations of others. But in the dictionary of 
Dr. Quain there are embraced not merely the 
principles and practice of medicine in the con- 
tributions by the various writers of eminence, but 
neral pathology, general therapeutics, hygienc, 
Sreeanes of women and children, ete.”—Cincin- 
nati Medical News, 
“In this important work the editor has endeav- 
ored to combine two features or purposes: in the 
first place, to offer a dictionary of the technical 
words used in medicine and the collateral sciences, 
and also to present a treatise on ne hegeooaar medi- 
cine, in which the separate articles on diseases 
should be short monographs by eminent specialists 
in the several branches of medical and surgical 
science. Especially for the latter purpose, he 
secured the aid of such well-known gentlemen as 
Charles Murchison, John Rose Cormack, Tilbury 
Fox, Thomas Hayden, William Aitken, Charlton 
Bastian, ee Serer, Sir William Jenner, 
Erasmus Wilson, and a host of others. By their 
aid he may fairly be said to have attained his 
object of ‘bringing together the latest and most 
complete information, in a form which would 
allow of ready and easy reference.’ ”— Medical and 
Surgical Reporter.
