Medical Adviser, JONES JUNKINs & Co., pub
fishers. 17 South Clark Street, Chicago Ill.
A full.and plain treatise by Rein Thompson,
NJ. D., permanent member of the NOtional
Medical Association, and author of Thomp-
son on Fever, &c. This work has been exam
ined by some of the ablest members of the
Medical Profession, and is pronounced by
them to be the best popular treatise on the
laws of health and disease ever published.
It is from the pen of man of science, one
who has stored his mind with the best prac-
teal knowledge, and has the power to place
that knowledge before the people, in a clear
and enteresting.light. No one can read this
workwithout perceiving that its author is en-
inently a practical man, who refuses TO think
by proxy. What he writes has the rare mer-
1t of being suggestive, by broaching new
ideas, which are calculated to set other men
thinking. We honor sucha man and recon-
mend his book,
The Philadelphia Evening Post, one of the
oldest and best literary weeklies, comes as
regularly as usual. 1t has now a corps OF
writer's surpassed by no literary weekly in
the land and its leading NOVELTIES are of the
first order. 1t is in fact just WHAT every fam
lily that has growing up children should have,
for its moral tone and choice editorials can
not fail to amuse and instruct. Peterson &
Co., 3I9 Walnut-st., Philadelphia, Penn. 81 a
