Materia Medica and Therapeutics: An Introduction to the Rational Treatment of Disease - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
In the preparation of the present edition of this work the author has had the assistance of Dr. Dilling. Whilst the characters of it which secured the success of previous editions are in no respect altered, many changes have been effected throughout the text which were necessitated by the rapid advance of Pharmacological Chemistry in particular, as well as of Physiology, Pathology and Therapeutics. Such of the many new drugs introduced during the last few years as have stood the test of employment in practice for example. Radium, the organic compounds of several of the metals, and certain synthetic preparations are now incorporated. The chemical constitution and the pharmacological actions of the vegetable Materia Medica, particularly those of drugs of great therapeutical value like Opium, Digitalis, Cocaine and Ergot, have been carefully revised. The many advances lately made in Physiology, especially in our knowledge of digestion and the circulation, have called for considerable changes in the section on General Therapeutics.
