    WITHEBSTINE The International Pocket Medical Formulary Arranged Therapeutically. By C. Sumner Witherstine, M.S., M.D., As.sociate Editor of the Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences ; Visiting Physician of the Home for the Aged, Germantown, Philadelphia ; Late Ilouse-Surgeon Charity Hospital, New York. I\Iore than 1800 formiiliie from several hundred well-known authorities. With an A])i)endix containing a Posological Table, the newer remedies included ; Important Incompatibles ; Tables on Dentition and the Pulse ; Table of Drops in a Fluidrachm and Doses of Laudanum graduated for age ; Formulae and Doses of Hypodermatic 3Iedication, including the newer remedies ; Uses of the Hypo- dermatic Syringe ; Formukc and Doses for Inhalations, Nasal Douches, Gargles, and Eye-washes ; Formuhie for Suppositories ; Use of the Thermometer in Dis- ease ; Poisons, Antidotes, and Treatment; Directions for Post-Mortem and Medico-Legal Examinations ; Treatment of Asphyxia, Sun-stroke, etc, ; Anti- emetic Remedies and Disinfectants ; Obstetrical Table ; Directions for Ligations of Arteries ; Urinary Analysis ; Table of Eruptive Fevers ; Motor Points for Electrical Treatment, etc. This work, the best and most complete of its kind, contains about 275 printed pages, besides extra blank leaves—the book being interleaved throughout —elegantly printed, with red lines, edges, and borders; with illustrations. Bound in leather, with side flap. It is a handy book of reference, replete with the choicest formulae (over 1800 in number) of more than six hundred of the most prominent classical writers and modern practitioners. The remedies given are not only those whose efllciency 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. It contains the latest, largest (G6 formulos), and most complete collection of hypodermatic formuhc (including the latest new remedies) ever published, with doses and directions for their use in over fifty different diseases and diseased conditions. Its appendix is brimful of information, invaluable in office work, emergency cases, and the dailj^ routine of jiractice. It is a reliable friend to consult when, in a perplexing or obstinate case, the usual line of treatment 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 palat- able mode of exhibition of the same.) It is compact, elegantly printed and bound, well illustrated, and of conve- nient size and shape for the pocket. The alphabetical arrangement of the diseases and a thumb-letter index render reference rapid and easy. Blank leaves, judiciously distributed throughout the book, afford a place to record and index favorite forniula3. As a student, the physician needs it for study, collateral reading, and for recording the favorite prescriptions of his professors, in lecture and clinic; as a recent rjraduate, he needs it as a leference hand-book for daily use in prescribing (gargles, nasal douches, inhalations, eye-washes, sup])()sitories, incompatibles, poisons, etc.); as an old practitioner, he needs it to refresh liis memory on old remedies and combinations, and for information concerning newer remedies and more modern api)roved plans of treatment. No live, i)rogressive medical man can afford to bo without it. Price, post-paid, in United States and Canada $2.00, net; Great Britain, Us. 6d.; France, 12 fr. 40. It is snmetimos important that such prescrip || enough of incompatibilities before commenc- tioiis as have been w.-U establl^<lle(l in tlieir I inpj praoti<;e to avoid writin: incompatible and nsef Illness bt; preserved for reference, and j dangerous ]n-cscriptions. The C(mstant use of this little volume serves sncha purimse better I] such a book bv such prescribers would save than any other we have seen.—C7oZMm6us 3/t't/- ! the pharmacist much anxiety.—TVie Drug- ical Journal. ^ gi.tts^ Circular. To the yo\inp: jihysieiun just starting out in practice this little'l)ot»k will prove an accept- able companion.—Omnha Clinic. As long as combinations are sought, such a book will be of value, especially to those who cannot spare the time required to learn In judicious selection, in accurate nomen. clature, in arrangement, and in stvle, it leaves nothing to be desired. The editor and the publisher are to be congratulated on the pro- dnrtion of the very best book of its class.— ntUburgh Medical Review.
