Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a concise yet comprehensive collection of remedies employed in the treatment of various illnesses and certain maladies. It is unusual for its time in that the author has drawn from knowledge acquired over their years in practice, as well as from a meticulous review of medical authorities like the British, London, and Edinburgh Pharmacopoeias. 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. A great strength of the book is that where there is more than one option for the treatment of a given ailment, the author has included various modes and methods of administration.
