From the Pharmaceutical Era.-We have taken considerable pains to compare this book with the Pharmacopoeia, for we firmly believe that any work to be used or studied as a text-book by the pharmacist or pharmacy student should conform in its statements to those given by the official standard in definition, description, solubilities, etc. And in this particular the editor is to be congratulated, for he has painstakingly and satisfactorily done his work. For study in the class-room or reference in the store, the book will certainly be appreciated. We know of none better. From the Virginia Medical Monthly.-Both the author and the editor have the wonderful power of imparting instruction strikingly, so that it sticks to memory, so as to be made available at the bed-side. From the Medical and Surgical Reporter.-It is a well arranged and accurate text-book, especially in Therapeutics. From the Therapeutic Gazette.-Practical experience with Dr. White's book on general therapeutics, both as to its usefulness to the student and as to the soundness of the advice which he gives, has proved that he is an author upon whom much dependence may be placed, and a careful examination of the American version of his second work, which has been published under Dr. Wilcox's eye, shows that it is also worthy of both its author and editor. From the American Practitioner and News.-It is a real treat to pick up a work like this, full and compact, and giving evidence that the author and editor write with the confidence of experience and unbiased investigation. From the Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal.-We regard it as one of the best reference books a student can consult, and it is admirably adapted to the needs of the general practitioner of medicine. It embraces the more modern ideas of Materia Medica and Therapeutics, and will easily take rank among the best of its class. The second edition has been thoroughly revised, and some of it has been entirely re-written. From the Chicago Medical Recorder.-In point of excellent arrangement, accuracy, conciseness, practical usefulness and completeness, this hand-book is without a peer. The author and editor both deserve congratulations. From the Alumni Journal, New York. - Preparations into which articles or their preparations enter, though not mentioned in the list of preparations named in the Pharmacopoeia, are carefully introduced. Secondly, the entire work abounds in italicized notes, calling attention to errors or misunderstandings which experience has shown to be likely to arise in the work of either the pharmacist or the physician, and constitute a very important collection of danger signals. It will thus be seen that the second edition is made even more characteristically a multum in parvo, than its predecessor, and that properly used it must prove an invaluable aid to students of pharmacy. From the Brooklyn Medical Journal. The editor's practical experience makes his reviewing of the unofficial preparations of especial value. Taken as a whole, the volume seems to us to be most admirably adapted to be both a text-book for students, and a reference-book for physicians, a combination which is not found in all the works treating of these subjects. From the Physician and Surgeon.-Brevity and lucidity of expression characterize the descriptive writing, and careful and scientific arrangement enable the reader to avail himself expeditiously of the resources placed at his command.
