Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Special Pathology What I have to say to you this morning is by way of an introduction to the winter's work. In regard to text-books: I shall be pleased if each memi ber of the class will purchase Potter's Materia Medica and Therapeutics; not the Compend, but the complete work - the larger book. I select this book for the reason that it contains everything that is necessary for you to know in regard to drugs. It gives their origin, their physical properties and characteristics, their therapeutic and physiological action, dosage and antidotal treatment, all in a very compact form, much more so than any other book I might recommend. There are other books for extended reading and for special reference which are valuable, and you can provide yourselves with as many of them as you feel able. I assure you that you cannot get too many if you will only use them, for we cannot become too familiar with our subject. I regard our field as one of the most important in the entire college curriculum, in which statement I believe you will agree with me. Wood's book on Therapeutics is recommended for ex tended reading; also Hare's work on the subject is an excel lent one. The latter is not so exhaustive as Wood's. In regard to Potter's Compend, it is a most excellent little book. Those of you who do not possess it may have access to it in the library (of which I shall speak a littlefurther on), but I feel like insisting on your providing your selves with Potter's larger book.
