AB This is an attempt to teach materia medica from the chemical point of view. Were it not expressly stated that this is intended as an introductory text to the study of "pharmacology and therapeutics designed for students of medicine," one would suppose that it was intended for students of pharmacy. To have students of medicine prepare numerous chemical compounds and many pharmaceutic preparations and to assay them seems a waste of valuable time, the investment of which, in other directions, is so greatly needed.
