many eminent physicians of the old school.

Dispensatory by King Newton, retaining, however,
all the formula Of the latter work, thoroin pub

some works Ii must prove of great value to all in
any way connected with medical science.

type Of fair size and the binding corresponds to the
character and uses of the work.
