REVISER'S PREFACE THE original text being in a form most suitable for lectures (in which reiteration is often essential), some rearrangement of the matter has been made to avoid repetitions and to economize space. Several quotations from accessible authorities, and sections which interest, chiefly, British students, have been omitted. For the portions enclosed in brackets, the reviser is alone responsible. Articles embraced under the title "PREPARATIONS "" are those of the Pharmacopoeia of the United States of America. Customary doses have been incorporated with the index. The increasing attention given to Climate and to Natural Mineral Waters, as therapeutical aids, has led to the insertion of additional matter taken from the writings of Arthur H. Nichols, M.D., of Boston, on Climate; and of George E. Walton, A. M., M.D., of Cincinnati, on Mineral Waters; neither of whom, as an eminent authority, requires present introduction. 51 WEST FIFTY-EIGHTH STREET FREDERICK CASTLE AUTHOR'S PREFACE PHARMACOLOGY has of late attained such importance in the Medical Curriculum, that a Student's Text-book on the subject is urgently needed. This work is an abstract of the Lectures delivered at the Westminster Hospital during the current session, and is adapted primarily to the requirements of students preparing for the examinations. The Therapeutical aspect of the question has been treated practically, and it is hoped that the large number of prescriptions scattered throughout the pages of the book will prove of use to practitioners who desire to keep abreast with the progress of modern treatment.
