A most useful and reliable REFERENCE AND EMERGENCY BOOK, REMEMBRANCER, and POCKET COMPANION, equally serviceable to the practicing
physician or pharmacist, as well as to the student in the lecture room; from the
fact that it furnishes a digest of a vast variety of practical and valua,ble knowledge, which is usually learned in many ways, and hence not systematized and
arranged for ready and convenient reference.
Endorsed and Recommended by the following Professors of ~ateria
Medica and Tlwrapeu,tics:

Dose Book·' carefully. and find it r eplete with "valuable and practical information. to whi ch the student
can with confidence refer.
