Notes On Materia Medica And Therapeutics

Excerpt from Notes on Materia Medica and Therapeutics: Taken From Lectures Delivered by Prof. William H. Thomson, M.D., LL. D IN preparing the fourth edition of these notes, the editor has been thoroughly mindful of the introduction of several valuable drugs since the publication of the last edition, and the prominence given in recent lectures by Prof. Thomson to some of these, and the desirability of having fuller notes on some of the older remedies, have rendered necessary the issue of the present edition. Advantage has been taken of the occasion to make what is practically a new work, for the present notes are based upon stenographic reports of the lectures delivered dur ing the winter session of 1888 - 89, the material in the older editions for obvious reasons having been drawn upon to a slight extent only. To render the work as complete as possible, several mono graphs by Prof. Thomson, bearing directly upon the uses and administration of drugs, have been introduced. Other new fea tures are the frequent use of cross-references and a summary at the end of each of the principal drugs.
