The Pharmacopoeia of a Botanical Physician Later. 

 By The Hon. William Renwick Riddell, B.Sc, B.A. 



(Read 14th January 1915.) 



In a paper entitled " The Pharmacopoeia of a Botanical 

 Physician Eighty Years Ago," read before this Society 

 13th November 191 3, l I enumerated the remedies recom- 

 mended by Samuel Thomson, founder of the Themsonian 

 System of Medicine, as found in a publication of 1832. 

 He failed of recognition by the Regular Profession, but 

 had many disciples. They took the title, T.P. (Thom- 

 sonian Practitioner), and had no little vogue throughout 

 New England, New York, and many other parts of the 

 Union. As was to be expected, they did not confine 

 themselves to the remedies recommended by their master, 

 but discovered others, chiefly botanical, either in substitu- 

 tion of or in addition to the original.
