MEDICINE.
The PRACTICE of PHYSIC. By W. P.
Dewees, M. D. Adjunct Professor of Midwifery,
in the University of Pennsylvania,
2d edition, complete in 1 vol. 8vo.
"We have no hesitation in recommending it as decidedly
one of the best systems of medicine extant. The
tenor of the work in general reflects the highest honor on
Dr. Dewees's talents, industry, and capacity for the execution
of the arduous task which he had undertaken. It
is one of the most able and satisfactory works which modern
times have produced, and will be a standard authority."—London
Med. and Surg. Journal, Aug. 1830.
DEWEES ON THE DISEASES OF CHILDREN.
5th ed. In 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.

"We strongly recommend M. Martinet's Manual to the
profession, and especially to students; if the latter wish
to study diseases to advantage, they should always have
it at hand, both when at the bedside of the patient, and
when making post mortem examinations."—American
Journal of the Medical Sciences, No. I.

comprising a Report of the Cases treated at
the London Fever Hospital in 1828-29, by
Alexander Tweedie, M. D., Member of the
Royal College of Physicians of London, &c.
1 vol. 8vo.
"In short, the present work, concise, unostentatious
as it is, would have led us to think that Dr. Tweedie was
a man of clear judgment, unfettered by attachment to
any fashionable hypothesis, that he was an energetic but
judicious practitioner, and that, if he did not dazzle his
readers with the brilliancy of theoretical speculations, he
would command their assent to the solidity of his didactic
precepts."—Med. Chir. Journal.
The ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, and DISEASES
of the TEETH. By Thomas Bell,
F.R.S., F.L.S. &c. In 1 vol. 8vo. With Plates.
"Mr. Bell has evidently endeavored to construct a
work of reference for the practitioner, and a text-book
for the student, containing a `plain and practical digest
of the information at present possessed on the subject,
and results of the author's own investigations and experience.'
" * * * "We must now take leave of Mr. Bell,
whose work we have no doubt will become a class-book
on the important subject of dental surgery."—Medico-Chirurgical
Review.
"We have no hesitation in pronouncing it to be the
best treatise in the English language."—North American
Medical and Surgical Journal, No. 19.

the physician can desire, and in addition, a larger mass of

articles and preparations employed in medicine,
than any of the dispensatories, and we think will entirely
supersede all these publications in the library of the phy-
sician."—Am. Journ. of the Medical Sciences.
