Chapter LVII: Part II: contains practical pharmacy, and a description of the
various pharmaceutical compounds in use among Medical
Reformers, especially of that class to which the author
belongs, known as Eclectics. The various chemical and
pharmaceutical processes described are mainly those of recent
date, and such as have been found by ample experience to be the
best; these are fully and clearly explained, so that every
apothecary may be enabled to prepare, without difficulty, all
or any of the more modern preparations of Reformers, whenever
ordered. PART III is devoted to the various mineral medicines,
their chemical histories, therapeutical virtues and uses,
together with a vocabulary explaining the Latin words and
abbreviations frequently met with in medical prescriptions;
tables of doses; weights and measures; chemical composition of
mineral waters; specific gravities; hydrometrical equivalents;
solubility of salts, acids, bases, etc., etc., all of which are
of much utility and indispensable to the chemist and
pharmaceutist. The work contains a full and complete index, so
arranged that any medicine, compound, or table, etc., may be
promptly found without any delay or difficulty. 1 vol., royal $10

AFTER THE WAR; Down the Coast and Up the Mississippi. By
[“Agate”] WHITELAW REID, Special Correspondent of the
_Cincinnati Gazette_. 1 handsome volume, 12mo., of about 600
pages. Illustrated. When the tour of inspection to the cities
of the Southern Coast was decided on by Chief Justice CHASE and
several officials of the Treasury Department, the Judge
complimented his friend, the Congressional Librarian, with an
invitation to accompany him on the trip. Duly provided with a
pass from President Johnson, Mr. REID accompanied the party, on
board the Government Steamer _Wayanda_, and spent a month or
more in the voyage to New Orleans, and in visiting with the
distinguished gentlemen the coast cities of the rebellious
States. Occurring immediately after the Rebel armies had been
disbanded, he became possessed of many facts, and witnessed
many incidents replete with interest, which he has here given
to the public in his own agreeable manner. As “Agate,” he is
well known as one of the most brilliant descriptive writers in
the country.
