    Lea & Blanchard publish and have for sale the following valuable Medical Works by Professor Robley Dunglison. WITH UPWARDS OE THREE HUNDRED ILLUSTRATIONS, By robley dunglison, M. D., PROFESSOR OF THE INSTITUTES OF MEDICINE, &C. IN JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE, PHILADA.; ATTENDING PHYSICIAN AND LECTURER ON CLINICAL MEDICINE AT THE PHILADA. MEDICAL HOSPITAL; SECRETARY TO THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, &C. &C. FIFTH ESITION, GREATLY MQBIFIED AND IMPROVED. TN TWO VOZiUIi^llS, or 130^ IaJLB.&^ OCTAVO FikCrES. In. presenting this new and much improved edition of Professor Dunglison's standard work on Physiologj', the Publishers beg to state, tliat although only a short time has elapsed since the publication of the fourth edition of this work, the labours of Physiologists have been so numerous, diversified, and important, as to demand ma- terial modifications and additions in the present edition, and that no little time and industry- have been bestowed by the author to introduce these, and to digest the var ous materials contained in the exprofesso treatises, as well as the various Journals of this country and of Europe. ■■To this edition nearly ninety wood-cuts have been added to elucidate either topics that had been already treat- ed of in the previous editions, or such as are new in this; most of the old cuts have been retouched, and many replaced by oihers that are superior. Altogetlter, the author has endeavoured to make the work a just and im- partial record of Physiolog'cal science, and to render it worthy a continuance of that favour which has been so liberally exiended to it. The size of the volumes has been materially increased, by the addition of over eighty pages, and the illustrations are far superior to those of any former edition. (3R A TREATISE ON SPECIAL PATHOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS. BY ROBLEY DUNGLISON, M. D., CONTAINING THE DISEASES OF THE ALIMENTARY CANAL, THE DISEASES OF THE CIRCULATORY APPAKATUtr!, DISEASES OF THE GLANDULAR ORGANS, DISEASES OF THE ORGANS OF THE SENSES, DISEASES OF THE KESPIRATORY ORGANS, DISEASES OF THE GLANDIFORM GANGfJONS, DISEASES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, DISEASES OF THE ORGANS OF REPRODUCTION, DISEASES INVOLVING VARIOUS ORGANS, &c. &c. In Two Volumes, Octavo. Tliis work has been introduced as a text-book in many of the Medical colleges, and the general favour with which it has lieen received, is a guarantee of its value to the practitioner and student. In the volumes before us. Dr. Dunglison has proved that his acquaintance with the present facts and doc- trines, wheresoever originating, is most extensive and intimate, and the judgment, skill, and impartiality with which the materials of the work have been collected, weighed, arranged, and exposed, are strikingly manitested in every chapter. Great care is ever^-where taken to indicate the source of intbrmation, and under the head of treatment, formute of the most appropriate remedies are everywhere introduced. In conclusion, we congratu- late the students and junior practitioners of America, on possessing in the present volumes, a work of standard merit, to which they may confidently relisr in their doubts and difficulties.—British and Foreign Medical Review for July, 1842. Since the foregoing observations were written, we have received a second edition of Dtmglison's work, a sufficient indication ot the high charactef it has already attained in America, and justly attained.—British and Foreign Medical Rei-iewfor October, 1S44. We hail the appearance of this work, which has just been issued from the prolific press of Messrs. Lea & Blanchard, of Philadelphia, with no ordinary degree of pleasure. Comprised in two large and closely printed volumes, it exhibits a more full, accurate, and comprehensive d'gest of the existing state of medicine than any other treatise with wliich we are acqua'nted in the English language. It discusses many topics—some of them of ffreat practical importance, which are entirely omitted in the writings of Eberle, Dewees, Hosack, Graves, Stokes, Mcintosh, and Gregory; and it cannot fail, therefore, to be of great value, not only to the student, but to the practitioner, as it affords him ready access to information of vv-hich he stands in daily need in the exercise of his profession. It has been the desire of the author, well known as one of the most abundant writers of the age, to render his work strictly practical; and to this end he has lieen induced, whenever opportunity oflisred, to incorporate the results of his own experience with tliat of his scientific brethren in America and Europe. To the former, ample justice seems to have been done throughout. We believe this constitutes the seventli work which Professor Dunglison has published within the last fen years; and, when we reflect upon the large amount of labour and reflection which must have been necessary in iheir preparation, it is amazing how he could have accomplished so much in so short a time,—LouisKilU Journal. HEW REMEDIES, PHARMACEUTICALLY AND THERAPEUTICALLY CONSIDERED. By robley dunglison, M.D., In One Volume, Octavo—over 600 pages, the Fourth Edition.
