Lessons in Pharmaceutical Latin and Prescription Writing and Interpretation

This useful work is designed to present in a simple and practical manner such rudiments of Latin as will enable the pharmacist to interpret correctly those portions of the language which he may encounter in the practice of his profession. Neither drug store experience nor previous knowledge of Latin is assumed and careful explanation is made of points that are likely to prove troublesome. We are pleased to note that special attention has been paid to the writing of titles, and to prescriptions. Detailed explanation of Metric prescriptions is given and the requirements of “Harrison Law" prescriptions are noted. Although the volume is designed primarily as a textbook for colleges of pharmacy, we feel safe in saying that it will prove of value to the student of medicine and also as a reference book for physicians and pharmacists.
