A Practical Treatise on Healthy Skin: with Rules for the Medicine and Domestic Treatment of Cutaneous Diseases. By ERASMUS WILSON, F. R. S. etc. Illustrated with six Steel Engravings. New York: D. Appleton & Co.

“In the following pages,” says the author, one of the most [page 388:] eminent of British physiologists, “I propose to make my reader acquainted with the structure and uses of the skin, in the hope of awaking his attention to the necessity and manner of training it to the purposes of health. I trust, moreover, by laying down correct and simple laws, to enable him to comprehend the principles upon which a sound and effective domestic treatment of its diseases may be conducted.”

A large duodecimo of 263 pages — in the customary neat style of the Appletons.
