Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Complete Dictionary of the Whole Materia Medica, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing an Experimental History of Every Natural and Artificial Substance Made Use of in Medicine He has corrected all the references to the Edinburgh Pharmacop ia, both in the catalogue of simples, and the officinal preparations, by the last edition of that work. He has added several entirely new articles; among which are all the new medicines received into the present Edinburgh catalogue, and such others as have been recommended upon apparently sufficient grounds in various publications, domestic and foreign. From the same sources, and also from some marginal notes in Dr. Lewis's own copy of his work, he has derived many additional facts and observations relative to former articles. All the additional matter is distinguished by an asterisk prefixed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
