Description
Excerpt from Thesaurus Medicaminum: A New Collection of Medical Prescriptions, Distributed Into Twelve Classes, and Accompanied With Pharmaceutical and Practical Remarks, Exhibiting a View of the Present State of the Materia Medica and Practice of Physic in This and Other Countries
In this Collection now offered for the third time to the public, the Formulæ are distributed into classes according to their effects, or, in other words, according to the indications they are required to answer; as, in this mode of arrangement, all those medicines which possess similar virtues are brought under one point of view; so that, if those which are first tried prove ineffectual, others, suited to fulfil the proposed intention, immediately catch the eye of the prescriber. Boerhaave, Cullen, and other systematic writers, who have chosen this mode of arrangement, seem to have been too fond of subdividing their classes. In the present volume, all the medicines are referred to twelve general heads, without any subdivisions, except in the first and second classes.
