EDITED BY JOHN FORBES, M. D., F. R. S., ALEXANDER TWEEDIE, M.D., F.R.S., AND JOHN CONOLLY, M.D. REVISED, WITH ADDITIONS, By ROBLEY DUNGLISON, M. D.

CONTAINING THIRTY-TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR UNUSUALLY LARGE PAGES IN DOUBLE COLUMNS, PRINTED ON GOOD PAPER, WITH A NEW AND CLEAR TYPE. THE WHOLE WELL AND STRONGLY BOUND, WITH RAISED BANDS AND DOUBLE TITLES. Or, to he had in twenty-four parts, at Fifty Cents each. For a list of Articles and Authors, together with opinions of the press, see Supplement to the No- vember number of the Medical News and Library for 1845. This work having been completed and placed before the profession, has been steadily advancing in favor with all classes of physicians. The nu- melous advantages which it combines, beyond those of any other work ; the weight which each article carries with it, as being the production of some physician of acknowledged reputation who has devoted himself especially to the subject confided to him; the great diversity of topics treated of; the compendiousness with which everything of importance is digested into a comparatively small space ; the manner in which it has been brought up to the day, everything necessary to the American practitioner , having been added by Dr. Dunglison ; the neatness of its mechanical execution; and the extremely low price at which it is afforded, combine to render it one of the most attractive works now before the profession. As a hook for con- stant and reliable reference, it presents advantages which are shared by no other work of the kind. To country practitioners, especially, it is abso- lutely invaluable, comprising in a moderate space, and trifling cost, the matter for which they would have to accumulate libraries, when removed from public collections. The steady and increasing demand with which it has been favored since its completion, shows that its merits have been appreciated, and that it is now universally considered as the LIBRARY FOR CONSULTATION AND REFERENCE.
