This being, as far as we know, the only work in which pathological histology is separately treated of in a comprehensive manner, it will; we think, for this reason, be of infinite service to those who desire to investigate the subject systematically, and who the unconnected observations of a great number of The development of the morbid tissues, and the formation of abnormal] products, may now be followed, and. studied with the same ease and satisfaction as the best arranged system of phy-. have felt the difficulty of arranging in their mind’! siology.—American Med.

The whole adapted to Physicians and Pharmaceu- lists. Seconp Epition; thoroughly revised, with numerous additions, by Roprert P. Tuomas, M. D., Professor of Materia Medica in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. In one large and handsome octavo volume, of over six hundred pages, double columns. (Just Ready!) The speedy exhaustion of a large edition, and the demand for a second, sufficiently show the posi-: tion which this-work has so rapidly attained as an authoritative and convenient work of reference for the physician and pharmaceutist.. The opportunity thus afforded for its improvement has not been negleeted. In its revision, Professor Thomas (to whom this task has been confided in consequence of the death of the author), has spared no labor, in the hope of rendering it the most.complete and, correct work on the subject as yet presented to the profession. All the newly introduced articles »f the Materia Medica have been inserted, such formulee as had escaped the attention of the ‘author. have-been added, and the whole has been most.carefully read and examined, to insure the absolute eorrectness, so indispensable in a work of this nature. The amount of these additions may be esti- mated from the fact that not only has the page been considerably enlarged, but the volume has also been increased by about, fifty pages, while the arrangement of the formulée:and the general typo- graphical execution will be found to have undergone great improvement. copious collection of all the forms and combinations of the articles of the Pharmacopeeia render i an invaluable book of reference, while its very complete embodiment of officinal preparations of ali tant to the apothecary. Dr. Griffith’s Formulary is worthy of reeommen- dation, not only on account of the care which has been bestowed on it by its estimable author, but for its general accuracy, and the richness of its details. —Medical Examiner. Most cordially we recommend this Universal Formulary, not forgetting its adaptation to. drug- gists and apothecaries, who would find themselves vastly improved by a, familiar acquaintance with this every-day book of medicine.—The Boston Med. and Surg. Journal. A very useful work, and a most complete compen- dium on the subject of materia medica... We know of no work in our language, or any other, so com- prehensive in all its details. —London Lancet. Pre-eminent among the best and most useful com- pilations of the present day will be found the wor before us, which can have’ been produced only at a very great cost of thought and labor.
