Wood’s Practice of Medicine.

A Treatise on the Practice of Medicine. By Geo. B. Wood, M.D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania. Fourth edition, improved. Two vols. 8vo. $7.00.

This is far the best work on the practice of medicine in the English language, and we recommend it strongly to the attention of our readers. It is much fuller than Dr. Watson’s admirable lectures, while it is less lengthy than the Library or Cyclopædia of Medicine; and it has this further advantage over the two last-named works—that while they are far behind, it is a fair reflex of the actual state of knowledge.—London Medical Times and Gazette.
