About this Item

Inteded as a practical handbook for physicians and pharmacists for their daily practice. The work provides an alphabetically sorted overview of current medicines and provides a synopsis of the terms and terminologies used in the official pharmacopies in the Netherlands in the first half of the 18th century. It was an enormously handy work as it described very briefly the properties of each medicine, exact dosage information for internal and external application of each medicine and lists possible negative drug interactions and and contraindications. Cornelis van Eldik (1791-1857) was a Dutch physician specializing in obstetrics. He taught medicine and served on several medical committees in Nijmegen. Alongside his friend, Doctor A. Moll, he edited a highly successful medical publication, the Practisch Tijdschrift voor de Geneeskunde in al haren omvang. Van Eldik authored several works, primarily in the field of obstetrics, but also on general medicine.Spine slightly damaged and wrappers partly detached, some verly light browning, piece of paper cut out from last paper, not affecting the text, otherwise in good condition.l BMN 387, NNBW 347, WorldCat 922342312.
