THE SECOND VOLUME IN THE PHYSICIANS' AND STUDENTS' READY REFERENCE SERIES. H:A]sri3_BOOPC OF Materia MsdicaJhapmaGji, and Tiierapeutics By OUTHBERT BOWEN, M.D., B.A., Editor of Notes on Practice. EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACK.— While this isessentially a Stuuents Manual, alarge amount of matter has been incorporated which, it is hoped, will render it a useful reference-book to the young GRADUATE wlio is just entering on his professional career, and more particularly the individual whose sphere of work demands a more practical acquaintance with pharmaceutical processes than is required of the ordi- nary city practitioner. Cireat care has been taken throughout the book to familiarize the student with the \>e^^\ methods of administering the various drugs he will be called upon to use, and with this object a large number of standard prescriptions have been selected from the works of the most eminent authorities, which he can either adopt, with modifications to suit particular cases, or use as models on which to construct his own formula;. This excellent manual comprises in its 366 small ooiavo pages about as much sound and valuable in- forniatiori on the subjects indicated in its title as could well be crowded into the compass. The book is exhaustively and correctly indexed, and of a con- venient form. The paper, press-work, and binding are excellent, and the typography (long primer and brevier) is highly to be commended, as opposed to the nonpareil and agate usually used incompendsof this sort, and which are destructive to vision and temper alike.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. your. In going through it, we have been favorably im- pres.sed by the plain and practical suggestions in regard to prescription writing, and the metric sys- tem, and the other things which must be known in order to write good and accurate prescriptions.— Medical and Surgical Reporter. .Many works claim more in their title-pages than •■an be verified further on, but the only adverse criticism we can make on this volume is that it does not claim enough.—Southern California Prac- titioner. The book is one of the very best of its class.— Columbus Medical Journal. This is a very condensed and valuable resume of the drugs recognized by the United States Phar- macopoeia, and all the officinal and important preparations.—Southern Medical Record. Dr. Bowen's work is a very valuable one indeed, and will be found to fill a want beyond a doubt. —Cincinnati Medical News. It is short and concise in its treatment of the subjects, yet it gives sufficient to gain a very correct knowledge of everything that comes under this head- ing. This is a ready work for the country physician, who must of necessity have a more practical acquain- tance with pharmaceutical processes.—Medical Brief. Une I'itno volanie of 370 pages. Handsomely Bound in Dark-Blae Clotb. Price, poet-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.40, net; in Great Britain, 6s. 6d.; in France, 9 fr. 35.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21207501_0635.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
