HE MODERN FRAC I'ICE of PHYSIC;
which points out the Character:, Causes, Rvoiptoin,,
Pr. :aortic, Morbid Appearances, and linp•oved I.l..thed of
Tteating the Diseases of all Climates.
• By ROBERT THOMAS, M.D.
This work has been carefully revised ; a test Diseases, which
weedier:anted in the find edition, are now inserted ; and a very
large portion of new and tniportaut matter ha; been adJul.
Priuted foe John Murray, Fleet-street, London; awl Arch.
Cimatable and Cu. Edinburgh.
" A Treatise, ready naivetes! in its objeft, has been ;tarn-
calmly desirable. arid Dr. Thomas hividg bail opportunities
of actually obsersing the diseases anal practice or different
countries, but eipecailly those of hot chinatea, and bei..g con-
versant with the writhigs of ortr hest modern authoi• and
teachers, may be cnnsiderwi as well quatihed to undertake so
important a task. We think that Dr. Thomas has acquitted
tomself Or his undertak;ri in a unwire, highly creditable to
himself as a tnan of resew eh, and as a praftical Physician, and
that hs Wink riese•ves to stand high in the catalogue of ode
kind of compilation."..--Londen Medical Review, sot viii.

" rb.s it a judicious comoilation of feels, from the best
writers, *hien may be peruser, with great ed.antage by Mu-
because the dile:rent anbjetts am treated with btevity
and pctspicuity. TH. Author has chiefly fellimed Dr. Cullen,
Lodi in the cisssification of discreet, and in his test; but it i..
neer-sal to add, that De Thomas does not prove a se, vile
copyist. He has abridged with judgment, ties added modern
opintonsaml itacoveries, has frequently introduced the result
