A VALUABLE WORK FOR FAMILIES.

Dewees on the Diseases of Children. Sixth edition. In 1 vol. 8vo.

The objects of this work are, 1st, to teach those who have the charge of children,
either as parent or guardian, the most approved methods of securing and
improving their physical powers. This is attempted by pointing out the duties
which the parent or the guardian owes for this purpose, to this interesting,
but helpless class of beings, and the manner by which their duties shall be fulfilled.
And 2d, to render available a long experience to these objects of our
affection when they become diseased. In attempting this, the author has
avoided as much as possible, “technicality:” and has given, if he does not
flatter himself too much, to each disease of which he treats, its appropriate
and designating characters, with a fidelity that will prevent any two being
confounded together, with the best mode of treating them, that either his own
experience or that of others has suggested.

and Medical Jurisprudence, in the University of Maryland,
&c. &c. Second edition, with numerous additions and modifications.

This work, although intended chiefly for the professional reader, is adapted
to the comprehension of every one, the anatomical and other descriptions
being elucidated by woodcuts and by copperplate engravings. It comprises a
full investigation of every function executed by the various organs of the body,
in health, and is calculated to convey accurate impressions regarding all the
deeply interesting and mysterious phenomena that are associated with the life
of man—both as an individual and a species—and a knowledge of which is
now regarded indispensable to the formation of the well educated gentleman.
