In the third part the subject of Special Therapeutics is treated of elaborately, in the form of an alphabetically arranged Index to the treatment of diseases, as laid down by the accepted authorities. Every indication for the use of a drug is referred to its author by his name or initial, and to the most prominent articles are appended a few selected formula, to serve as guides to the neo phyte in prescribing.
The Appendix contains numerous Tables, comprising diagnostic hints, Latin terms and phrases, formula for hypodermic use, and metric equivalents; also formula representing the most noted patent medicines.
