A Pocket Formulary Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Medical Formulary In revising the present edition of the Formulary, the progress of medical science in the departments of Materia Medica and Therapeutics has rendered necessary the addition of a considerable amount of new matter; and in order that the bulk of the work might not be too much increased, the editor has selected for omission such formulae as seemed of least value, most of them containing remedies long since fallen into disuse, and scarcely obtainable by the class of physicians for whom the work is intended. The table of doses has been very carefully corrected; the doses of some articles being divided in reference to their therapeutic application, and all calculated for the administration of pure pharmaceutical preparations of standard strength, and for adult patients. It has been thought best to inclose in brackets the new formulae, that the attention of young practitioners may be called to them, as illustrating the practice of recent authorities in therapeutics.
