Book Description

Excerpt from Organic Materia Medica and Therapeutics The following volume has been compiled with the view of placing in the hands of the medical profession a work on Organic Materia Medica and Therapeutics, having a system atic arrangement especially adapted to ready reference and easy remembrance.

A few unofiicinal drugs have been de scribed whose value seemed sufiicient to warrant their intro duction, but all of these as well as all unoflicinal preparations have been marked with an asterisk.
