THRALL, M. d. Published by Fowler Il WELLS,
In the plan Of this work, the wants and ne
cessities of the people have been steadily kept
in view, while almost every topic of interest
in the Departments Of Anatomy, Physiology,
Pathology, Hygiene and Therapeutics is briefly
presented, those of practical utility are always
put prominently forward. The prevailing errors
whims, and conceits Of the day and age are ex-
posed and refuted. The Theories and hypo-
thesis upon which the popular drug practice is
predicated, are controverted, and the why and
the wherefore of their fallacy clearly demonstra
ted. The following is a brief analysis of its
