Excerpt from The Medical Formulary: Being a Collection of Prescriptions, Derived From the Writings and Practice of Many of the Most Eminent Physicians in America and Europe, Together With the Usual Dietetic Preparations and Antidotes for PoisonsThe lamented decease of Dr. Samuel George Morton, since the appearance of the last edition, has rendered it necessary to place this work in other hands. During the lifetime of its author, Dr. Morton afforded a friendly revision of the first two editions, and after his death assumed the editorial charge of the seven succeeding editions.
