Ig5 PHARMACOPEIAL DRUGS 



"Drugs and Medicines of North America," pp. 63 to 97, 

 in which was included special contributions by Doctors 

 Scudder, Hale and Bartholow on its therapeutic uses. 

 That of Bartholow was mainly devoted to its physiolog- 

 ical action, being the first careful study in this direction. 

 Believing in the importance of this much neglected 

 American drug, we reproduce herewith the references 

 cited in Drugs and Medicines of North America as being 

 among the most important: 1

1 In planning this history of drugs, the question arose as to whether references should 

 follow each article, or be placed after the work and indicated by numbers in the text. The 

 latter plan was selected to save space. The articles on lobelia and cinchona indicate 

 what others would have been.
