Excerpt from The Book of Prescriptions: Containing More Than 3000 Prescriptions, Collected From the Practice of the Most Eminent Physicians and Surgeons, English and Foreign
To the Second Edition of the Book of Prescriptions, one hundred additional prescriptions were added, collected from recent works, English, French, and American. And a want having been felt of some practical outline that should serve as a key to the whole, an Index of Diseases and Remedies was inserted at the end, which, it is hoped, has been of use to the prescriber.
