Synopsis

Excerpt from Materia Medica of Vegetable and Animal Origin: With Notes on the Properties, Uses, and Constituents of Crude Drugs In preparing this book, the object kept mainly in view has been the production, at a moderate price, of a volume of convenient size, which should contain references to all the more important facts concerning the chief vegetable and animal drugs in common use throughout the British Empire. The vegetable and animal drugs which are dealt with in the volume include the whole of those official in the British Pharmacopoeia (1898) and in Appendix I. to that work, in addition to all those official in the Indian and Colonial Addendum (1900) and a large number of non-official drugs, with the characters and constituents of which persons registered in Great Britain as chemists and druggists are required to be familiar. No other work on drugs covers exactly the same ground, or contains such recent information on many points, and it will be found that, in spite of its small size, the volume contains as exhaustive and accurate descriptions of all important drugs of vegetable and animal origin as works of a more imposing character. Students who may adopt it as a text-book will, therefore, find it unnecessary, as a rule, to consult other text-books on the same subject, while advanced workers should appreciate the advantage of having existing information summarised up to date.
