Because the remedies given are not only those whose efficiency has stood the test of time, but also the newest and latest discoveries in pharmacy and medical science, as prescribed and used by the best- known American and foreign modern authorities. 3. Because it contains the latest, largest (66 formula;) and most complete collection of hypodermic formula? (including the latest new remedies! ever published, with doses and directions for their use in over fifty different diseases and diseased conditions. 4. Because its appendix is brimful of information, invaluable in office work, emergency cases, and the daily routine of practice. 6. Because it is a reliable friend to consult when, in a perplexing or obstinate case, the usual line of treat- ment is of no avail. (A hint or a help from the best authorities, as to choice of remedies, correct dosage, and the eligible, elegant, and most palatable mode of exhibition of the same.) 6. Because it is compact, elegantly printed and bound, well illustrated, and of convenient size and shape for the pocket. 7. Because the alphabetical arrangement of the diseases and a thumb-letter index render reference rapid and easy. 8. Because blank leaves, judiciously distributed throughout the book, afford a place to record and index favorite formula;. 9. Because, as a student, he needs it for study, collateral reading, and for recording the favorite prescriptions of his professors, in lecture and clinic; as a recent graduate, he needs it as a reference hand-book for daily use in prescribing (gargles, nasal douches, inhalations, eye-washes, suppositories, incompatibles, poisons, etc.) ; as an old practitioner, he needs it to refresh his memory on old remedies and combi- nations,and for information concerning newer remedies and more modern approved plans of treatment. 10. Because no live, progressive medical man can afford to be without it.
