General Therapeutics and Materia Medica; adapted for a Medical
Text Book. By Robley Dunglison, M. D., Professor of Insti-
tutes of Medicine in Jefferson Medical College, &c. &c. One
hundred and eighty-two illustrations. Fourth edition, revised
and improved, in two volumes. Philadelphia. Lea & Blan-
chard.
Good wine, it is said, needs no bush. The wide-spread repu-
tation and rapid sale of Dr. Dunglison’s works are the best
exponents of their acceptableness to the practitioner and stu-
dent, for the latter of whom they are more especially in-
tended. In announcing a fourth edition, we are informed that
the work has been subjected to a thorough revision, both as
regards the style and matter. The remedial agents of recent
introduction have been incorporated in their appropriate places ;
the number of illustrations has been greatly increased; and a
copious index of diseases and remedies has been appended,
which can scarcely fail to add to the value of the work to the
therapeutical inquirer. The well known habits of industry of the
author are a sufficient guaranty for the faithfulness and complete-
ness with which the work has been executed. We commend it
most heartily to both practitioner and student, assured that they
will find in it a mine of treasure.
