The Elements Of Pharmacy And Of The Chemical History Of The Materia Medica Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Elements of Pharmacy, and of the Chemical History of the Materia Medica With this view, the means of research are first considered generally as the structure and use of the thermometer, the balance, and the weights and measures, now used in this country; respecting which, there is given a historical ac count of the introduction of the' several species of weights and measures into this country, and tables, not only of the Roman weights, still used by Latin writers, but also of those of the Saxons and Danes, from whom some of our weights are derived. Nor are the French, German, and Swedish weights and measures, often mentioned in chemical works translated from those languages, left unnoticed. This is succeeded by an account of the different methods of ascertaining the density, or specific gravity of substances; and the mode of operating upon the various species of air, or what are now more usually called by their Flemish name of gas introduced into che mistry by Van Helmont.

Excerpt from Elements of Materia Medica and Pharmacy: Two Volumes in One IN composing the following work, the object which I princi pally had in View was to render more useful the lectures I deliver, on the subjects of which it treats. I could not doubt of the advantages to be derived from an outline which pre sents to the student the general arrangement of the course, and a summary of the leading facts and principles which it is designed to illustrate. And I deemed this the more necessary, as the classification of the Materia Medica, which I have adopted, and some of the views of the operations of medicines, are different from those which have hitherto been proposed.

Excerpt from Materia Medica and Pharmacy In revising White's Materia Medica and Therapeutics to bring it into harmony with the United States pharmacopmia so much additional matter has been introduced into the five American editions that it seemed advisable to re-write the book. The forthcoming revision of the Pharmac0paeia has given the Opportunity. The many advances in the subjects here treated have necessitated the division of the work into two distinct parts; this, the first, being devoted to Materia Medica and Pharmacy and the second to Pharmacology and Therapeutics. It is hoped that this natural separation of the subjects will be acceptable to the physician and the student. In the present work full atten tion is given to pharmaceutical processes, to the various kinds of preparations, with their dosage, and to the art of prescrib ing; after which the description of remedies is taken up in detail. The list of therapeutic agents is divided into two main parts, under the heads of Inorganic and Organic Materia Medica, and the general classification adopted is one based on the grouping of the articles according to the class and chemical division or natural order to which each belongs. In order to make the book more complete, condensed descriptions of the action and therapeutic use of all the remedies have been ap pended.
