MEDICAL DICTIONARY. 
11,000 WORDS. PUBLISHERS’ ANNOUNCEMENT. 
The great success of Dr. Gould’s “ New Medical 
Dictionary ” suggested the publication of this, smaller, 
volume for the pocket. It has been prepared upon th'c 
same practical, systematic plan as the larger book, and, 
like it, has been based upon the most recent medical 
literature. It contains about 11,000 words—nearH 
double the number in any other pocket medical diction 
ary—and as many of these words are not to be found in 
any other dictionary, large or small, it may from this 
point of viewr be considered as a supplement to them. 
The form and size of the volume have been selected 
as most practical. It is no wider than the old-shape 
hooks ; it is thinner; and the length of the page has 
permitted the addition of several thousand words. T 
will be found to slip readily into any pocket that will 
take the “ 32mos,” and, unlike them, will not feel <ir 
look bulky. A POCKET

PHILADELPHIA. PREFACE. 
Medical students and practitioners often have need of 
a small, elementary word-book that may be slipped into 
the pocket for hurried reference, and to serve as a 
passing reminder of the essential meanings of the more 
commonly-used terms. Such books are too frequently 
made for the benefit of the publisher rather than for that 
of the consultant, and therefore err in a condensation so 
great as to result in vagueness and inaccuracy, and err 
especially in the definition of too few words—and those of 
decidedly antique flavor. The little volume herewith 
oflered seeks to avoid these faults, and particularly that 
last-mentioned, by containing about double the number 
of words included in the ordinary pocket lexicons, and 
by being made up of the words of the living medical 
literature of the day. The addition of the useful tables 
of muscles, nerves, arteries, the various micro-organisms, 
comparison of thermometric scales, and, above all, of a 
dose-table compiled directly from the latest and best 
works on materia medica, must also prove useful. 
I desire to express sincere thanks to Dr. W. A. N. 
Dorland, of Philadelphia, for his valuable aid throughout 
the preparation of the volume.

The Doses given are for adults; for children the following rule 
(Young’s) will be found the most convenient. Add 12 to the age, and di- 
vide by the age, to get the denominator of the fraction, the numerator of 
2 4-12 
which is 1. Thus, for a child two years old, — = 7, and the dose is one- 
seventh of that for an adult. Of powerful narcotics scarcely more than 
one-half of this proportion should be used. Of mild cathartics, two or even 
; [hree times the proportion may be employed. 
In a general way it may be said that approximately the dose for a child 
of one month is -fo that of an adult; for one of 3 months, T’- ; 6 months, TV,; 
1 year, |; 2 years, J; 3 years, jt; 5 years, y0; 8 years, i ; 10 years, f; 12 
years, §; 15 years, f ; 20 to 45 years, adult dosage ; 50 years, g; 60 years, | ; 
80 years, §. 
For Hypodermatic Injection, the dose should be one-half of that 
used by the mouth ; by rectum, five-fourths of the same.

statement of the subjects in hand, containing more com e. 
information in a practical, concise form than any othe' 
publication of the kind. This Third Edition has be- 
carefully revised and brought up to the present standar. 
From the Medical Record, New York, January 16, 1892: — 
“ This is an old and valued friend which needs no commendatn - 
much less an introduction. It ought to he in the library of ev< 
physician and student. It is the most convenient and most cone 
work on Therapeutics and Materia Medica in the English langtia 
and is at the same time thoroughly reliable. Though necessar 
largely a compilation, nevertheless there is much that Is original, 1 
author being one of the most prominent of American Therapeutb 
The contents embrace the essentials of practical materia medica a 
therapeutics, the amount of pharmacy that every physician sin 
possess, 011c of the best sections on prescription-writing ever writt 
besides a great mass of interesting and valuable material relating . 
the subject of the work. Both diseases and remedies are arrant 
alphabetically, making the book unusually convenient. The secti 
on applied therapeutics includes, besides the writer’s own views, t 
recommendations of fifty authors. All in all, the book is an exceed- 
ingly useful 011c.” 
From the Therapeutic Gazette:— 
“ In the enumeration of drugs suited to different disorders a very 
successful effort at discrimination lias been made, both in the stage 
of disease and in the cases peculiarly suited to the remedy. It is 
no mere list of diseases followed by a catalogue of drugs, but is a 
digest of modern therapeutics, and as such will prove of immense 
use to its possessor.”
