    Just Published, A new Edition, being the Fifteenth, with considerable additions, price 12s. in boards, (embracing an account of all the Ncjv Remedies, and the latest Discoveries in Medicine)— THE MEDICAL GUIDE, FOR THE USE OF HEADS OF FAMILIES, JUNIOR PRACTITIONERS, &c. In addition to a complete modern Dispensatory, and Practical Instructions for the Prevention of the Diseases incident to the human frame, and for the Medical and Dietetic Treatment of their different Stages in different Constitutions, this edition contains the most effectual modes of treating cases of emergency, in which the aid must be speedy to be effectual, as poisons, suspended animation, wounded blood-vessels, fits, &c.; a selection of upwards of 300 prescriptions, with remarks on each ; the physical and medical management of infants; practical dissertations on diet, as applicable to the various periods of life, tempera- ments, habits, and peculiarities; on exercise, clothing, bathing; the influence of the passions of the mind on diseases and health : the modus operandi, or explanations of the rationale of the operation of the various classes of remedies; proper questions to patients, &c. &c. &c. the whole interspersed with cautionary notes. By RICHARD REECE, M. D. FELLOW OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS, &C. &C. “ This work is composed chiefly for those who wish to attain a com- petent knowledge of medicine, for the ordinary necessities of themselves or their families, or for the benevolent purpose of alleviating the suffer- ings of their fellow-creatures. For the purpose of aiding the medical sagacity and skill of private, and particularly of clerical benevolence, this work is very judiciously adapted. It is not only a plain and useful directory, but it has, at the same time, the great advantage of being more cheap, more commodious, and more portable than any similar work with which we are acquainted, that details the modern practice of physic. It'is more judicious than the Domestic Medicine'of Buchan, which, we have no doubt, it will entirely supersede. By attending to the instructions, the clergyman or resident of a retired village may, in common cases of illness, be enabled to do much good at a small expense.”—Critical Review, April. “ The early edition of this very useful work was dedicated to Dr. Watson, the venerable Bishop of Llandaff, in consequence of the high terms in which his Lordship had recommended it when it first appeared before the public; It is clear, comprehensive, and calculated to answer all the purposes of domestic reference: The part which treats on the diseases of children we recommend to the serious perusal of all parents and others who may be intrusted with the management of children in the first stages of life.”—Anti-Jacobin Review, Map. “This edition containing a copious description of all the-new remedies, &c. we can /cordially recommend it. It embraces the practical part of medicine, without the superfluous ’ theories with which most of the systems of physic are loaded.”—Athcneeum, April, 1828.
