Useful for practitioners as well as laypeople, it includes preparations, along with their doses and modes of administration, as directed by the listed authorities. At the outset of the book, the author provides the reader with a detailed table of contents, which includes alphabetical listings of classes of medicines, or in other terms, their use or mode of operation within the body. For example, the ailments and disorders treated by medicines classed as alteratives, antacids, and anthelmintics are listed alphabetically in three separate sections.
