Thomson’s Domestic Medicine.

A Dictionary of Domestic Medicine and Household Surgery. By Spencer Thomson, M.D., L.B.C.S. Edinb. First American, from the last London edition. Revised, with additions, by Henry H. Smith, M.D., Professor of Surgery in the Pennsylvania University. One vol. 12mo. $1.50.

This work has received the highest encomiums from the critical journals of the day. “Many a useful life,” remarks a British periodical, “might have been spared, and many an insidious disease checked in the bud, had such works as that of Dr. Thomson been earlier in existence. To the traveler by sea or by land, to the settler and the emigrant, far from medical aid, it must prove invaluable.”

The work has been carefully adapted to the American climate and habits by Dr. Henry H. Smith, of Philadelphia, whose contributions to the volume have greatly added to its value. It is the standard book of domestic medicine. The arrangement of the subjects in alphabetical order renders it extremely convenient for prompt reference and consultation.
