SEVENTH EDITION, 



CAREFULLY REVISED AND GREATLY ENLARGED. 



In One very large and beautifully printed Octavo Volume of over Nine Hundred Pages, closely printed 

 in double columns. Strongly bound in leather, urith raised bands. 

 This edition is not a mere reprint of the last. To show the manner in which the author has la- 

 bored to keep it up to the wants of the day, it may be stated to contain over SIX THOUSAND 

 WORDS AND TERMS more than the fifth edition, embracing altogether satisfactory definitions of 



OVER FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND WORDS. 



Every means has been employed in the preparation of the present edition, to render its me- 

 chanical execution and typographical accuracy in every way worthy its extended reputation and 

 universal use. The size of the page has been enlarged, and the work itself increased more than 

 a hundred pages; the press has been watched with great care; a new font of type has been used, 

 procured for the purpose; and the whole printed on fine clear white paper, manufactured expressly 

 for it. Notwithstanding this marked improvement over all former editions, the price is retained 

 at the original low rate, placing it within the reach of all who may have occasion to refer to its 

 pages, and enabling it to retain the position which it has so long occupied, as 



THE STANDARD AMERICAN MEDICAL DICTIONARY. 



We have examined the Lexicon for a large number of words, including suchterms as Anaesthesia, Otiatria, 

 Pyelitis, Mastitis, and Stomatitis, which are not commonly met with in medical dictionaries, and on which 

 medical readers occasionally require information; and we have found them with an explanation of their 

 classical origin, and the signification under which they are employed. Dr. Dunglison's Lexicon has 

 the rare merit that it certainly has no rival in the English language for accuracy and extent of references. 

 The terms generally include short physiological and pathological descriptions, so that, as the author 

 justly observes, the reader does not possess in this work a mere dictionary, but a book, which, while it in- 

 structs him in medical etymology, furnishes him with a large amount of useful information. That we are not 

 over-estimating the merits of this publication, is proved by the fact that we have now before us the seventh 

 edition. This, at any rate, shows that the author's labors have been properly appreciated by his own coun- 

 trymen ; and we can only confirm iheir judgment, by recommending this most useful volume to the notice of 

 our cisatlantic readers. No medical library will be complele without it. — The London Med. Gazette. 



Il is certainly more complete and comprehensive than any with which we are acquainted in the English 

 language. Few, in fact, could be found better qualified than Dr Dunglison for the production of such a work. 

 Learned, industrious, persevering, and accurate, he brings 10 the task all the peculiar talents necessary for 

 its successful performance: while, at the same time, his familiarity with the writings of the ancient and modern 

 '• masters of our art." renders him skilful to note the exact usage of the several terms of science, and the va- 

 rious modifications which medical terminology has undergone with the change of theories or the progress of 

 improvement. — American Journal of the Medical Sciences. 



One of the most complete and copious known to the cultivators of medical science. — Boston Med. Journal. 



This most complete medical Lexicon— certainly one of the best works of the kind in the language.— 

 Charleston Medical Journal. 



The most complete Medical Dictionary in the English language.— Western Lancet. 



Dr. Dunglison's Dictionary has not its superior, if indeed its equal, in the English language. — St. Louis Med- 

 and Surg. Journal. 



Familiar with nearly all the medical dictionaries now in print, we consider the one before us the most 

 complete, and an indispensable adjunct to every medical library. — British American Medical Journal. 



Admitted by all good judges, both in this counlry and in Europe, to be equal, and in many respects superior 

 to any other work of the kind yet published.— Northwestern Medical and Surgical Journal 



We repeat our former delaration that this is the best Medical Dictionary in the English language.— Western 

 Lancet. 



We have no hesitation to pronounce it the very best Medical Dictionary now extant.— Southern Medical 

 and Surgical Journal. 



The most comprehensive and best English Dictionary of medical terms extant.— Buffalo Med. Journal. 



Whence the terms have all been derived we find it rather difficult to imagine. We can only say that, after 

 looking for every new and strange word we could think of, we have not been disappointed in regard to moie 

 than a few of most recent introduction, such as those designations given by Professor Owen to the component 

 parts of a Vertebra. — British and Foreign Medico- Chirurgical Review. 



Dr. Dunglison's masterpiece of literary labor.— N. Y. Journal of Medicine.
