MI ssrs. ". b. Treat X tn., Publishers
of FIRST Glass Subscription Book, No 654
Broadway, New York have sent us
copy Of their New Family Medica H'orh
entitled "Our Home Ply .ician," new
and popular guide to the art Of prcserv-
ing health and treating disease, with plain
advice for all the medical aud surgical
emergencies Of the family. BY Geo. VI.
Beard, A. NJ, M. D., Lecturer on Ncrv-
Gus Diseases in the University Of the city
of New York, Member of the New York
County Medical Society, assisted in the
various departments by eminent medical
authors.
In scope and character this work is nhy,
full and comprehensive in style, clear
and Ineligible and throughout it is
emphatically comm on sense and practical.
The sections relating to hygiene - the
preservation of health, prevention and
treatment of disease, etc., etc.,-are full
and explicit, and brought down to the
latest dates, and seem to US especially
good and adapted to the wants of the peo-
pie. We know of no other medical guide
for popular use, that at all approaches it.
The work is fully illustrated, and is sold
through agents, (either local or traveling)
and we bespeak for it a ready sale in this
community. We presume such of our
readers as desire copies, can, by writing
directly to the publishers, arrange for the
same. We close our review of this most
excellent work by quoting the following
from late number of The Ner Orleans
Daily Times
