Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Therapeutics: Including Materia Medica and Prescription Writing, With a Description of the Most Important New and Nonofficial Remedies Passed Upon by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association The purpose of this book is to present a brief summary of the physiological actions of drugs, with particular emphasis being given to their clinical applications; to show the importance of simple, rational prescribing, based (wherever possible) on known physiological actions; and to indicate the limitations, as well as the value of drugs in the treatment of disease. This edition has been thoroughly revised, rewritten, and enlarged. It now includes, not only the important preparations of the U. S. Pharmacop ia and the National Formulary, but also those of the New and Nonofficial Remedies, permission to include these having been granted by the American Medical Association, for which privilege the author wishes to express his thanks. A number of illustrations have been used to show the effect of drugs upon the circulation. The original tracings for these reproductions were kindly loaned by Professor A. N. Richards, of the Laboratory of Pharmacology, University of Pennsylvania. There has also been added a brief outline of vaccine therapy, a chapter on the proprietary medicine evil, and a short article on suggestions and limitations in office dispensing. This edition has been re-indexed, making it now a ready reference book, especially for the dispensing, dosage, and uses of the important newer remedies.
