Excerpt from A Manual of Therapeutics This manual has been prepared especially for students, with the hope that it may serve as an outline of modern therapeutics, to be filled in and extended by systematic study of the larger works. For obvious reasons refer ences have for the most part been omitted. Since a satis factory classification based On physiological action or therapeutic application is at present scarcely possible, the drugs have been arranged in alphabetical order. Latin titles being coinmonly employed in prescription writing, they have been adopted throughout the book, in order that the student may become thoroughly familiar with them.
