From Prof. Hodge, of the University of Pa. To the American public, it is most valuable, from its intrinsic undoubted excellence, and as being - Its circulation will, I trust, be extensive throughout the best authorized exponent of British Midwifery our country. The publishers have shown their appreciation of the merits of this work and secured its success by the truly elegant style in which they have brought excelling themselves in its production, espe- cially in its plates. It is dedicated to Prof. Meigs, and has the emphatic endorsement of Prof. Hodge, as the best exponent of British Midwifery. We know of no text-book which deserves in all respects to he more highlv recommended to students, and we could wish to see'it in the hands of every practitioner, for they will find it invaluable for reference.—Med. Gazette. We welcome Rnmsv>otham's Principles and Prac- tice of Obstetric Medicine and Surgery to our li- brary, and confidently recommend it to our readers, with the assurance that it will not disappoint their most sanguine expectations.—Western Lancet. It is unnecessary to say anything in regard to the utility of this work. It is already appreciated in our country for the value of the matter, the clearness of its style, and the fulness of its illustrations. To the physician's library it is indispensable, while to the student as a text-book, from which to extract the material for laying the foundation of an education on obstetrical science, it has no superior.—Ohio Med. and Surg. Journal. We will only add that the student will learn from it all he need to know, and the practitioner will find it, as a book of reference, surpassed by none other.— Stethoscope. The character and merits of Dr. Ramsbotham's work are so well known and thoroughly established, that comment is unnecessary and praise superfluous. The illustrations, which are numerous and accurate, are executed in the highest style of art. We cannot too highly recommend the work to our readers.—Si. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal. ROYLE'S MATERIA MEDICA AND THERAPEUTICS; including the Preparations of the Pharmacopoeias of London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and of the United States. With many new medicines. Edited by Joseph Carson, M. D. With ninety-eight illustrations. In one large octavo volume, extra cloth, of about 700 pages. $3 00. STILLE (ALFRED), M.D. THERAPEUTICS AND MATERIA MEDICA; a Systematic Treatise on the History, Description, Action, and Uses of Medicinal Agents. In two large and handsome octavo volumes, of about 1600 pages, (hi press.) The object which the author has kept in view in the preparation of this work has been to present to the profession a complete and systematic treatise suited to the wants of the practising physician. He ha< therefore endeavored to avoid encumbering his text wilh details interesting only to the naturalist or the dealer, and has sought to give in the history and description of drugs Mich informa- tion only as would be required by the intelligent practitioner. The space thus gained he has en- deavoreu to rill with a complete account of the physiological and therapeutic properties of all the articles ot the Materia Medica, their uses in all the varieties of disease, their pharmacopoeia] pre- parations, and the mode in which they may be most successfully employed The subject of Gene- ral Therapeutics will be found more fully developed than is customary in works of this nature; but while general principles will be carefu ly enunciated and developed, mere theoretical specula- tion- will be avoided. The labor of many years devoted to the work has enabled the author to accumulate and record the results of the experience of the highest authorises in all countries, and his watchful care in incorporating the latest observations and researches is a guarantee that the whole will be found fully brought up to the clay, with all that may be regarded as worthy of confi- dence. The work is therefore presented as a practical companion for the active physician who may de- sire to keep himself on a level with the advance of his profession, as well as a text-book for the student entering upon his medical education. The long delay which has occurred in its appearance has been caused by the determination of the author to spare no pains in rendering it complete on every point: it is now, however, proceeding rapidly through the press, and the publishers expect to have it in readiness for the fall sessions of the medical schools.
