    Q “ This edition containing a copious description of all the new remedies, 8cc. we can cordially recommend it. It embraces the practical part of medicine, without the super¬ fluous theories with which most of the systems of physic are loaded.’7—Athenaeum, April, 1828. “ To this fifteenth Edition the Author has introduced an account of the new remedies and improvements in medicine, and many valuable chapters on diet, peculiarities of constitution, sympathies, passions of the mind. To the department of prescriptions he has likewise made very important additions; and we have no hesitation in asserting that it embraces a collection of prescriptions of eminent practitioners, with clear direc¬ tions and cautions, which is not to be found even in the most voluminous system of medicine. The Medical Guide, by Dr. Reece, is, in fact, the only work that has ap¬ peared for domestic reference from a Physician of extensive experience; and we boldly assert, that to the profession, as well as to general readers, it will prove a more useful and scientific practical guide than any system of medicine that has been published in Europe. We have thus candidly and freely expressed our opinion of this work, because attempts have lately been made to palm some miserable compilations on the public, by friendly criticisms clearly written by men ignorant of medicine.57—John Bull, December, 1828. FOR ELDERLY AND DEBILITATED SUBJECTS. This day is published, price 3s.—2d Edition, dedicated to Sir Anthony Carlisle, A PRACTICAL TREATISE on the PROPER DIET, EXERCISE, &c.&c. of Elderly People, and of those who were Lorn weakly, or who have brought on, by indulgences or abuses, general or local Debility, or in whom symptoms of breaking up of the System appear ; as Dropsical Swelling of the Legs, General Nervousness ; with Directions for Regulation of the Bowels, and the Use of the Round-leaf Cornel, when a tonic is necessary. To which are added, an ac¬ count of the Lobelia Injlata herb, with instructions for its use in Spasmodic Asthma. By J. IT. Robinson, M. D. of St. Croix. u We have no hesitation in saying that weakly and nervous subjects will derive more valuable information from this work than all the volumes which have been published on diet. It is clearly the production of a physician of experience, who has paid particular attention to the subjects it embraces. It is, in these times of book-making, a £ rara avis,’— a ‘ multum in parvo,’ of a practitioner who is desirous to communicate information of real practical utility. What a contrast does this pamphlet afford to the ‘Sure Methods of Preserving Health,7 and other contemptible works which have been puffed off by the editors of religious or rather irreligious works, who are totally ignorant of the subject.”—Monthly Gazette of Practical Medicine, Feb. 1829. a From its uniform grateful and strengthening effects on the stomach, I consider the round-leaf Cornel the natural tonic of man, and the stomachic comforter of old age.77— Professor Ives, in the American Medical Journal, June 1828.

With a complete Companion to a Newly Invented Medicine Chest, containing, in a small compass, a proper Collection of Medicines for a Family visiting the Continent, or about to take a Voyage to the East or West Indies, or South America. By a MEDICAL TRAVELLER. “ This is a very useful little Work, concentrating a great deal of valuable practical information into a small compass—information which must come into requisition almost every day, amongst the greatest number of tourists, as well as travellers on the continent, &c.”— Athenaeum, No. 38.
