AB This is an American reprint of an English work, without revision. It, therefore, has the disadvantage of not corresponding entirely to the American pharmacopeia, and, also, of lacking some things that might be looked for by the American practitioner. On the other hand, it has the advantage of being thoroughly modern and scientific, and of possessing several valuable features peculiar to itself. One of these is the elaborately classified therapeutics in the third section of the work. The index is fairly full, which is well, since it will have to be used extensively by the average American reader in looking up the different drugs with the classification here adopted. As a handy work of reference supplementary to native treatises the book can be most warmly recommended to American physicians.
