THE Publisher takes pleasure in announcing that Volume I of this eagerly-looked-for work is Now Ready, and that the utmost diligence will be exercised in filling with *he greatest rapidity, and in regular order of receipt, the numerous orders now awaiting its publication. The general plan of the work embraces three parts, each of which is practically inde- pendent of the other, as will be understood from the accompanying analysis, and of which Parts I and II are contained in the volume now announced ; this, however, is not the only advantage accruing from the preparation of the work in two volumes. Each volume will thus be much smaller and more convenient to handle, while some may wish to secure a particular portion of the work, and to them the cost is lessened. Several blank sheets of closely-ruled letter-paper are inserted at convenient places in the work, thus rendering it available for the student and physician to add valuable notes concerning new remedies and other important matters. Part I embraces three subdivisions, as follow:— First. A brief synopsis upon the subject of pharmacy, in which is given a clear and concise description of the operations and preparations taken into account by the physician when prescribing medicines, together with some practical suggestions regarding the most desirable methods for securing efficiency and palatability. Second. A Classification of Medicines is presented under the head of General Phar- macology and Therapeutics, with a view to indicate more especially the methods by which the economy is affected. Thus, there are Internal and External Remedies, and. besides, a class termed Chemical Agents, including Antidotes, Disinfectants, and Anti- septics, and an explanatory note is appended to each group, as in the case of AKeratives, Antipyretics, Antispasmodics, Purgatives, etc. Third. A Summary has been prepared upon Therapeutics, covering methods of Administration, Absorption and Elimination, Incompatibility, Prescription-writing, and Dietary for the Sick, this section of the work embracing nearly one hundred and fifty pages. Part II is devoted to Remedies and Remedial Agents Not Properly Cla.-;sed with Drugs. and includes elaborate articles upon the following topics: Electro-Therapy, Hy(fro-Therapy, Masso-Therapy, Heat and Cold, Oxygen, ]\Iineral-Waters, and, in addi- tion thereto, other subjects, perhaps of less significance to the practitioner, such as Clima- tology, Hypnotism and Suggestion, Metallo-Therapy, Transfusion, and Baunscheidtisnius, have received a due share oi attention. This section of the work embraces over two hun- dred pages, and will be found especially valuable to the student and recent graduate, as these articles are fully abreast of the times. Volume II, which is Part III of the work, is wholly taken up with the consideration ©f drugs, each remedy being studied from three points of view, viz., the Preparations, or Materia Medica; the Physiology and Toxicology, or Pharmacology, and, lastly, its Therapy. It will be Ready about May 1, 1890. The typography of the work will be found clean, sharp, and easily read without injury to the visual organs, and the bold-face type interspersed throughout the text makes the different subjects discussed quick of reference. The paper and binding will also be u\> to the standard, and nothing will be left undone to make the work first-class in every particular,](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21207501_0655.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
