AN ANALYTICAL COMPENDIUM OF Till] \ A1UOUS BRANCHES OF MEDICAL SCIENCE; for the Use and Examination of Students. A new edition, revised and improved. In one very lar^e and handsomely printed royal l2mo. vbliime, of about one thousand pages, with 374 wood cuts, extra cloth, $4 ; strongly bound in leather, with raised bands, $4 75. The Compend of Drs. Neilland Smith Is Incompara- bly the most valuable work of Its class ever published in this country. Attempts have I n made in various quarters to squeeze Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, the Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Ma tenia MediOft, and Chemistry into a single manual; but the opera- tion has signally failed in the bands of all up to the advent of Neill and Smith's volume, which is quite a miracle of success. The outlines of the whole are admirably drawn and illustrated, and the authors are eminently entitled to the grateful consideration of the student of every class.—N. 0. Med. and Surg. Journal. This popular favorite with the student is so well known that it requires no more at the hands of a medical editor than the annunciation of a new and improved edition. There is no sort of comparison between this work and any other on a similar plan, and for a similar object.—Nash. Journ. of Medicine. There are but few students or practitioners of me- dicine unacquainted with the former editions of this unassuming though highly instructive work. The whole science of medicine appears to have been sifted, as the gold-bearing sands of El Dorado, and the pre- cious facts treasured up in this little volume. A com- plete portable library so condensed that the student may make it his constant pocket companion.—West- ern Lancet. To compress the whole science of medicine in less than 1,000 pages is an impossibility, but we think that the book before us approaches as near to it as is pos- sible. Altogether, it is the best of its class, and has met with a deserved success. As an elementary text- book for students, it has been useful, and will con- tinue to be employed in the examination of private classes, whilst it will often be referred to by the country practitioner.— Va. Med. Journal. As a handbook for students It is Inv/alubble, eon- tainlnglnthe most condensed form Hi ■■ i, \ , facts and principles of medicine and Its collateral sciences,—A', it. Journal >•/ Mntidne. In the rapid course of lectures, where work for the Students is heavy, and review necessary for 80 ■■■■■•- miuation, a cornpend is not only valuable, but it is almost -Asian qua von. The one before us is, in most of the divisions, the most unexceptionable of all books of the kind that we know of. The newest and sound- est doctrines and the latest improvements and dis- coveries are explicitly, though concisely, laid before' the student. Of course it is useless for us to reoom- meud it to all last course students, but there is a class to whom we very sincerely commend this cheap book as worth its weight in silver—that class Is the gradu- ates in medicine o»f more than ten years' standing, who have not studied medicine since. They will perhaps find out from it that the science is not ex- actly now what it was when they left it off. — The Stethoscope. Having made free use of this volume in our exami- nations of pupils, we can Speak from experience in recommending it as an admirable compend for stu- dents, and especially useful to preceptors who exam- ine their pupils. It will save the teacher much labor by enabling him readily to recall all of the points upon which his pupils should be examined. A work of this sort should be in the hands of every one who takes pupils into his office with a view of examining them; and this is unquestionably the best of its class. Letevery practitioner who has pupils provide himself with it, and he will find the labor of refreshing his knowledge so much facilitated that he will be able to do justice to his pupils at very little cost of time or trouble to himself.—Transylvania Med. Journal. TVDLOW {J. L.), M.D., A MANUAL OF EXAMINATIONS upon Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Materia Mediea, Chemistry, Pharmacy, and Therapeutics. To which, is added a Medical Formulary. Third edition, thoroughly revised and greatly extended and enlarged. With 370 illustrations. In one handsome royal ]2ino. volume of 816 large pages, extra cloth, $3 25; leather, $3 75. The arrangement of this volume in the form of question and answer renders it especially sui't- ble for the office examination of students, and for those preparing for graduation. We know of no better companion for the student during the hours spent in the lecture-room, or to re- fresh, at a glance, bis memory of the various topics crammed into his head by the various professors to whom he is compelled to listen.—Western Lancet. As it embraces the whole range of medical studies it is necessarily voluminous, containing 816 large duodecimo pages. After a somewhat careful exami- nation of its contents, we have formed a much more favorable opinion of it than we are wont to regard such works. Although well adapted to meet the wants of the student in preparing for his final examination, it might be profitably consulted by the practitioner also, who is most apt to become rusty in the very kind of details here given, and who, amid the hurry' of his daily routine, is but too prone to neglect the study of more elaborate works. The possession of a volume of this kind might serve as an inducement for him to seize the momeut of excited curiosity to inform him- self on any subject, and which is otherwise too often allowed to pass unimproved.—St. Louis ,Med. and Sztrff. Journal. WANNER [THOMAS HAWKES), M. D., A MANUAL OF CLINICAL MEDICINE AND PHYSICAL DIAG- NOSIS. Third American, from the second enlarged and revised English edition. To which is added The Code of Ethics of the American Medical Association. In one hand- some volume 12mo. (Preparing for early publication.) This work, after undergoing a very thorough revision at the hands of the author, may now be expected to appear shortly. The title scarcely affords a proper idea of the range of subjects em- braced in the volume, as it contains not only very full details of diagnostic symptoms properly classified, but also a large amount of information on matters of every day practical importance not usually touched upon in the systematic works, or scattered through many different volumes.
