The author of this work is well known to his professional brethren in Philadelphia, as a man of great industry, excellent judgment, and extensive practical experience. These qualifications have been united in producing the "Home Book of Health and Medicine;" and as families resident in the country, and persons who make long sea voyages, require some aid in treating the emergencies of disease, we have much pleasure and confidence in recommending this book as the most judicious of its kind that has come under our notice. It embraces a brief but luminous view of the various branches of medical science, and may be read with advantage, not only by those who have the responsible charge of invalids, but also by young men who are about commencing their medical studies, and who stand in need of a plain and comprehensive view of the healing art.

SAMUEL GEORGE MOŘTON, M. D.,

Professor of Anatomy in Penn'a Medical College, &c. &c. We have great pleasure in recommending "The Home Book of Health and Medicine" as the best popular treatise upon practical medicine with which we are acquainted.
