    Simpkin and Marshall, Stationers' Court, London, have lately published the following Work, which may be had of all Booksellers. In one thick vol. octavo, second edition, price 15s. MODERN DOMESTIC MEDICINE; Or a Popular Treatise, illustrating the Character, Symptoms, Causes, Distinction, and Correct Treatment of all Diseases incident to the Human Frame; embracing all the Modern Improvements in Medi- cine, with the Opinions of the most distinguished Physicians. To which is added, A DOMESTIC MATERIA MEDICA; A Description of the Virtues, and Correct Manner of Using the Different Mineral Waters of Europe, and the Cold, Warm, and Vapour Baths ; a copious Collection of approved Prescriptions adapted to Domestic Use ; Ample Rules of Diet, and a Table of the Doses of Medicines. The Whole intended as a Medical Guide for the Use of Clergymen, Heads of Families, and Invalids. By THOMAS JOHN GRAHAM, M. D. Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, &c. Testimonies in favour of the above Work. The arrangement of this work is of a very superior order, and peculiarly adapts it for the use of Families. All the best authorities (particularly those of modern days) are industriously consulted; and for practical universal service, it is certainly very far above its cele- brated Prototype, (Dr. Buchan's). We conscientiously recommend Dr. Graham's Treatise to the Public, and feel much pleasure in the certainty that the author's wish to render his work extensively use- ful, will be fully gratified. Literary Chronicle, Oct. 7,1826. We must refer the reader, who wishes to know more of this interesting subject, to the work itself. We have extracted enough to make good our promise, (to point out specifically its domestic uses); and we shall preserve the volume, as the advice of an inva- luable Friend, to which we can refer with unrestrained ease in the hour of need, without any doubt of being benefited by its wisdom. Literary Chronicle, Second Notice, Oct. 21, 1826. In our opinion, the ' Domestic Medicine' of Dr. Graham is very far superior to that of Dr. Buchan, even in the improved state of the latter. We believe an examination of the two works will fully jus- tify us in this preference. We think the work deserves, and will obtain success. Oriental Herald, Nov. 1, 1826. A work of this description, when recommended, as in the present case, by Talent and Experience, is at all times a very useful Family Director. We find in its pages the most valuable information upon the numerous Complaints to which the human frame is subject.
