![pARRlSH [EDWARD), Lute Professor of Materia Medica in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. A TREATISE ON PHARMACY. Designed as a Text-Book for tie Student, and as a Guide for the Physician and Pharmaceutist. With many Formulae ana Prescriptions. Fourth Edition, thoroughly revised, by Thomas S. Wiesand. In one handsome octavo volume of 977 pages, with 280 illustrations; cloth. £5 50; leather, $6 50. ( Lately Issued.) The delay in the appearance of the new U. S. Pharmacopoeia, and the sudden death of the au- thor, have postponed the preparation of this new edition beyond the period expected. The notes and memoranda left by Mr. Parrish have heen placed in the hands of the editor, Mr. Wiegand, who has labored assiduously to embody in the work all the improvements of pharmaceutical sci- ence which have been introduced during he last ten years. It is therefore hoped that the new edition will fully maintain the reputation which the volume has heretofore enjoyed as a standard text-book and work of reference for all engaged in the preparation and dispensing of medicines.
