Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organic Materia Medica of the British Pharmacopoeia: Systematically Arranged, Together With Brief Notices of the Remedies Contained in the Indian and United States Pharmacopoeias This compilation is intended as a companion and key to the Materia Medica cabinets published by the firm of southall, son, and dymond. It contains brief descriptions of all the vegetable and animal substances contained in the British Pharmacopoeia of 1867, together with those since added in the appendix of 1874. For the convenience of students 'all the plants, which are in part or wholly employed, are arranged botanically. Descriptions are given of the more important natural orders, and of the classes and divisions to which they belong. These descriptions are worded as simply as possible consistently with clearness and the broader characteristics that would be best understood by the ordinary student are selected in preference to minuter distinctions. In addition to the plants contained in the British Pharmacopoeia, brief notices are given of the plants in the two other Pharmacopoeias in the English tongue, viz., the Indian Pharmacopoeia and that of the United States, both of which contain remedies that come increasingly under the notice of English Pharmacists. These notes are in small type, so that they maynot interfere with the text. The remedies derived from animal substances are also arranged in their scientific order. This work does not profess to be a Materia Medica, but it may do service as a handbook for the use of the student who follows the Linnaean maxim quoted on the title page, and endeavours to obtain a practical knowledge of the various substances with which it is his duty to become acquainted.
