Excerpt from Manual of General Medicinal Technology: Including Prescription-Writing

The topics belonging to medicinal technology, especially prescription-writing, find such scant treatment in the text-books of materia raedica, that the author has been tempted to write out his lectures on these subjects, as formerly delivered in his college-course on Materia Medica and Therapeutics. The lecture style has been retained as the best for actual teaching. The technicalities of prescription-writing are discussed at especial length, and are made to include so much of the elements of Latin as are necessary to the art, a feature which the author's experience in teaching makes him believe will be welcome to many undergraduate readers.
