Excerpt from Potter's Cyclopedia of Botanical Drugs and Preparations
An index to the therapeutic action of Botanical Drugs is added, one of Books bearing on the subject, and another of standard compounds Of a Herbal Character. The last is a compilation entirely, and we desire here to thank the publishers of various books from which they have been taken for their permission to reprint the formulas given.
The worth of a book of this kind depends very much upon the comprehensiveness and general arrangement of its index, and every endeavour has been made to put this in up-to-date form. The mistake of placing it at the end Of the book has been avoided, and by means of the employment of distinguishing types, the whole of about Common, Botanical, and Synonymous names are given in one complete reference.
