“The plan of this little book is well conceived, and the execution

corresponds thereunto. It costs little money, and will occupy little

room; and we think no practitioner will regret being the possessor of

what cannot fail, sooner or later, to be useful to him.”—_British and

Foreign Medical Review._

MR. SKEY, F.R.S.

OPERATIVE SURGERY; with Illustrations engraved on Wood. 8vo. cloth,

18_s._

“Mr. Skey’s work is a perfect model for the operating surgeon, who

will learn from it not only when and how to operate, but some more

noble and exalted lessons, which cannot fail to improve him as a moral

and social agent.”—_Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal._

convenient TABULAR FORM, both to suit the Prescriber for comparison, and

the Dispenser for compounding the formulæ; with Notes, Tests, and

Tables. 8vo. cloth, 12_s._

“Mr. Squire has rendered good service to all who either prescribe or

dispense medicines by this work. He has succeeded in bringing together

the similar formulæ for ready comparison and reference. The work

offers a striking comment on the necessity of uniformity in the

strength and preparation of all medicines which are used in the United

Kingdom.”—_Lancet._

“A very valuable work. Mr. Squire’s volume combines the formulæ of the

three Pharmacopœias, and at one glance shows the difference of the

official preparations of the three kingdoms.”—_Medical Times._

great utility, both to the prescriber and to the dispenser.”—_Medical

Gazette._

the contents of Taylor’s ‘Medical Jurisprudence,’ may go into a Court

of Law with the most perfect confidence of being able to acquit

beginning to look beyond the os and cervix uteri for the causes of

disease in these parts. Already a reformation somewhat analogous to

what Abernethy effected for surgical diseases has commenced, and we

feel assured that Dr. Tilt’s work will powerfully co-operate in

helping it forward, and in placing the pathology and therapeutics of

diseases of the female generative organs upon a sound and permanent

basis.”—_Dublin Quarterly Review._
