For  almost  half  a  century  the  United  Statea  Dispensatory  has  maintained  its  ever  vigorous  life, 
surviving  successive  generations  of  rivals,  an  J  securing  for  itself  such  universal  recognition  chat 
wht-rever  the  English  language  is  spoken  it  is  to  be  found  in  all  of  the  leading  drug  houses.  Its 
success  is,  we  believe,  unprecedented  in  the  annals  of  medicine,  thousands  of  copies  of  it  having 
been  sold  and  circulated  all  over  the  world.  Such  extraordinary  achievement  can  rest  only  upon 
extraordinary  merit.  It  is  far  beyond  all  possible  reach  of  adventitious  causes.  The  qualities 
which  are  as  much  to-day  as  ever  the  characteristics  of  the  book,  pertain  alike  to  matter  and 
style.  >~-'»W®m 
There  is  no  similar  book  in  the  language— and  probably  no  one  in  any  language — which  ap- 
proaches it  in  completeness.  Thus  there  are  in  it  no  less  than  1877  distinct  articles.  The  great 
value  of  this  must  be  apparent  to  all.  No  apothecary,  no  physician  can  feel  secure  against  all 
possible  exigencies  of  practice  or  of  study  unless  he  has  in  his  library  one  book  which  explains 
everything  in  its  line.  Other  works  are  luxuries  more  or  less  essential  to  mental  develop- 
ment; this  is  a  necessity.
