Excerpt from Manual of Materia Medica and Therapeutics: Being an Abridgment of the Late Dr. Pereira's Elements of Materia Medica, Arranged in Conformity With the British Pharmacopoeia, and Adapted to the Use of Medical Practitioners, Chemists and Druggists, Medical and Pharmaceutical Students, &C, It remains for me to acknowledge the valuable assistance I have received from Professor Bentley and Mr. Warington. The former has assisted me chie¿y in the description of the organic bodies, and of the plants and animals which produce them, the latter chie¿y in the inorganic bodies. The extensive knowledge of these gentlemen in their respective departments has greatly contributed to the accuracy of the work. I am also indebted to Dr. Black, for revising the article on Chloroform, and to Mr. J. E. Howard, for the information he has communicated respecting the Cinchona barks and their alkalies, and for the care and attention which he has paid to the sheets relating to these subjects.Such as it now is, I venture to offer this Abridgement to the, profession, hoping that I have not altogether failed in the object which I had in view, and only regretting that I cannot longer delay its publication, in order to make it more worthy of their acceptance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
