A work which has Perliaps one of tlie most import.ant, if not the most important, book upon pharmacy which has appeared in the English language has emanated from the transatlantic press. Parrish's Phar- macy is a well-known work on this side of the water, and the fact shows us that a really useful work never becomes merely local in its fame. Thanks to the judicious editing of Mr. Wiegand, the posthumous edition of Parrish has been saved to the public with all the mature experience of its authoi', and perhaps none the worse for a dash of new blood.—Lond. Pharm. Journal, Oct. 17, 1874. We have here an encyclopoedia of pharmacy, of gained such a hold upon the confidence of the pro- fession stands in no need of the recommendation of the press. We have called the treatise an enoy- cloptedia as the name most descriptive of its char- acter—a work in which may be found all that the pharmacist or student of medicine need to know of pharmacy. On whatever point of pharmacy he may be seeking information, he will be fully instructed in this handbook, which is heartily rec- ommended.—American Practitioner, July, 1874. GBIFFITH, B.

To the first some sucli work is indispen- sable, and it is hardly less essential to the practi- tioner who compounds his own medicines. Much of what is oontamed in the introduction ought to be committed to memory by every student of medicine. As a help to physicians it will be found invaluable, and doubtless will make its way into libraries not already supplied with a standard work of the kind.— The American Practitioner,.]\\\y,\iili.

The translation of Hermann's Manual of Pharmacology was undertaken to furnish the student with a work that would assist him in his studies of the physiological action of drugs, enabling him to make tlie experiments himself that would otherwise require the assistance of the instructor. The translator has attempted to elucidate the text with a careful selection of illustrations; and lie trusts that his additions, which- constitute nearly one-half of the entire volume, will render the work a more perfect guide to the student. This work is a text-book for students for their i aud must prove acceptaljle to the student in this department of study. If only such books are guidance in the physiological laboratory. To the translation the editor has addml many original paragraphs, and he has introduced numerous illustrations from the larger volumes of Sanderson, Foster, Bernard and others. In size this work is much more handy than similar laboratory manuals. added to the literature of this advancing branch of medical research, we sliall ere long have no reason to regret that the laws of Great Britain have closed their physiological laboratories only to open our own.—IS'. C. Medical Journal, Feb. 1883. 3IAISCH, JOHNM., mar. J)., Professor of Slatcria Medica and Botanit in the Philadelphia Coller/e of Pharmacy. A Mamial of Organic Materia Medica; Being a Guide to Materia Medica of the Vegetable and Animal Kingdoms. For the use of Students, Druggists, Pharmacists and Physicians. In one handsome royal 12mo. volume of 451 pages, with 194 beautiful illustrations on wood. Cloth, $2.75. A book evidently written for a purpose, and not simply for the purpose of writing a book. It is comprehensive, inasmuch as it refers to all, or nearly all, that is of essential value in organic ma- teria medica, clear and simple in its style, concise, since it would be difficult to find in it a superfiuous word, and yet sufficiently explicit to satisfy the most critical. The text is freely illustrated with woodcuts, which cannot fail to be valuable in famil- iarizing students with the pliysical, microscopic and macro.scopic appearance of'drugs. The work is preceded by a tanle of contents, and completed with that without whicli no liook should be consid- ered complete, /. c, an index. In fact, the little book is just what it protends to be, and is worthy of unqualified commendation.—Chicago Medical Journal and Examiner, Aug. 1882. Tlie above manual, by a well-known authority in this department and one of the authors of the ' National Dispensatory, is a work for which students of pharmacy should' be grateful. The subject is one in which the beginner needs the guidance of a good classification in order to avoid the bewil- derment which follows the attempt to grasp a sub- ject having so many details. This condition the book fulfils, tlie clas.sification adopted being a sim- ple and practical one; the notice of each drug is Ijrief and clear, non-essentials being omitted. It is fully illustrated by some two hundred woodcuts. —Boston Med. and Surrj. Journal, Jan. 1!), 1882. Professor Maisch, in the work before us, has in as concise a m.anner as seems consistent with clear- ness given us the origin, habitat, botanical de- scription, chemical constituents and medicinal properties of the druf^s of the vegetable kingdom. This book is an admirable one indeed.—Michigan Medical A'ews, April 10, 1882.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b20406952_0183.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
