Synopsis

Master Latin for pharmacy with practical, easy-to-follow lessons. This concise guide helps you understand pharmaceutical terms by teaching essential Latin forms, vocabulary, and prescription writing.

Ideal for readers of pharmacy students and professionals who want a practical, no-nonsense introduction to Latin for everyday use at the counter and in the lab.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

While it is extremely desirable that every prospective pharmacist should have a course in Latin at least as extended as the ordinary high school course, still the fact remains that very many students enter schools of pharmacy with no training in Latin whatever. And after entrance unfortunately but little time can be devoted to language study. A certain modicum of Latin, however, is absolutely essential to the understanding of pharmaceutical terminology and to the proper handling of prescriptions. This book is designed to furnish that necessary modicum. The book is divided into two parts. The first consists of nineteen lessons presenting in progressive arrangement the necessary instruction in forms and syntax, and excluding everything which, however desirable and helpful, is not of immediate practical use to the pharmacist. To each lesson has been added for purposes of practice a vocabulary and a double set of exercises. A special series of lessons deals with the writing and reading of prescriptions. The second part is intended primarily for purposes of reference to be used both by the student in the school of pharmacy and by the druggist at the prescription counter. It contains word classifications, a complete list of abbreviations in common use, an analysis of the pharmaceutical terminology, and a comprehensive Latin-E nglish andE nglish-L atin dictionary.
