$One zolume. \2mo. Cloth. $1.50. ^^f |l]2si0logial ani ^lera^eiitital ^ttkn OF THE Bromide of Potassium^ Bromide of Ammonium^ Bromide of Sodium^ and Bromide of Lithium. By EDWARD H. CLARKE, M.D., Professor of Materia Medica in Harvard University; AND ROBERT AMORY, M.D., Annual Lecturer for 1870-71 on tlie Physiological Action of Drugs on Man and Animals in the Medical Department of Harvard University. The work consists of two monographs, supplementary to each other: Part I. treat- ing of the 1 herapeutical Action of the Bromide of Potassium and its Kindred Salts, while Part II. has the Physiological Action of Bromides of Potassium and Ammo- nium'^ for its subject. NOT«CES OF THE PRESS. [From the Doctor^ London^ June^ 1872.] Although much has been written on the subject, Drs. Clarke and Amory have succeeded in adding a really valuable little volume to practical Therapeutics. [From the St. Louis Medical and Surgical yvurnaiy August^ 1872.] We regard it as a very valuable contribution to medical science, based on careful experiments and clinical observation. Every practitioner should read it. [From the A merican Journal of Insanity^ y^uly^ 1872.] We commend the work to those engaged in treating diseases of the nervous sys- tem, and to the profession generally. [From, the Richmond and Louisville Medical JournaU June^ 1872.] This little work can be fully recommended: it costs little; it is concise, lucid, physiologically and therapeutically instructive; embodies much if not all of the val- uable material scattered over the vast field of Journalism; it is pleasantly written, well printed, and well bound. [From the American Journal of Pharmacy^ Jufiet 1872.] The medical literature in both essays has been extensively consulted, critically examined, and carefully compared with the experiments and observations of the authors; thus many interesting facts have been established which must prove very valuable to the medical practitioner. [From, the Philadelphia Medical Times for June^ 1872.] ** Given a pure drug, the physidogist experiments with it upon man and animals. carefully noting its absorption, its elimination, its action while in the economy, and deducts certain conclusions, which he places in the hands of the therapeutist, who, not forgetting the changes produced by a pathological condition, is guided by them in the treatment of disease. Judging by this standard, we pronounce the book before us to be a model. We thank Drs. Clarke and Amory for their contribution, and express a hope that the supply of such books may, like Tennyson's brook, ' go on for ever-' For Sale by all Booksellers.
