Drake’s Diseases of the North American Valley.
A Systematic Treatise, Historical, Etiological, and Practical, on the principal diseases of the interior valley of North America, as they appear in the Caucasian, African, Indian, and Esquimaux varieties of its population. By Daniel Drake, M.D. Edited by S. Hanbury Smith, M.D., formerly Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine in Starling Medical College, Ohio; and Francis G. Smith, M.D., Professor of the Institute of Medicine in the medical department of Pennsylvania College, Philadelphia. One vol. 8vo. Sheep, $5.00.
Dr. Drake’s great reputation, and his extensive practice in the western country, gives great value and decisive authority to this treatise on the diseases prevalent in the valley of the Mississippi. While the work is of great interest to the general practitioner in other parts of the country, to the Western and Southwestern members of the medical profession it will hereafter be considered an indispensable book of reference and instruction.
