 NEW EDITION, GREATXY IMPROVED AND ENLARGED, to Nov. 1851. 



THE 



OF MATERIA MEBICA AND THERAPEUTICS. 



COMPREHENDING THE NATURAL HISTORY, PREPARATION, PROPERTIES, COMPOSITION, 



EFFECTS, AND USES OF MEDICINES, 



BY JONATHAN PEREIRA, M. D., F. R. S. AND L. S. 



Third American from the Third and Enlarged London Edition. 



WITH ADDITIONAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS BY THE AUTHOR. 



EDITED BY JOSEPH CARSON, M. D., 



Professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy in the University of Pennsylvania. 

 In two very large volumes, on small type, with about four hundred illustrations. 



The demand for this new edition of" PEREIRA'S MATERIA MEDICA" has induced the publishers 

 to issue the First Volume separately. The Second Volume, now at press and receiving important 

 corrections and revisions from both author and editor, may be expected for publication in July or 

 August, 1852. 



The third London edition of this great work has been thoroughly revised and greatly enlarged 

 by the author, who has spared no pains to render it complete in every part, by the addition of a 

 very large amount of matter and the introduction of many new illustrations. The present American 

 edition, however, in addition to this, will not only enjoy the advantages of a careful and accurate 

 superintendence by the editor, but will also embody the additions suggested by a further revision 

 by the author, expressly for this country, embracing the most recent discoveries, and the results 

 of several pharmacopoeias which have appeared since the publication of part of the London edi- 

 tion. The notes of the American editor will be prepared with reference to the new edition of the 

 United States Pharmacopoeia, and will contain such matter generally as may be required to adapt it 

 fully to the wants of the American student and practitioner, as well as such recent investigations 

 and discoveries as may have escaped the attention of the author. The profession may therefore 

 rely on being able to procure a work which will not only maintain but increase its right to the ap- 

 pellation of 



AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MATERIA MEDICA AND THERAPEUTICS. 



We shall only remark that every article bears witness to the industry and indefatigable research of the 

 author. Instead of being merely the elements of materia medica, it constitutes a complete encyclopaedia of 

 this important subject. The student of physiology, pathology, chemistry, botany, and nalural history, will 

 find herein the most recent facts and discoveries in his favorite branch of study, and the medical practitioner 

 will have in this work a safe guide for the administration and employment of medicines. London Mtdical 

 Gazette. 



The present edition (the third) is very much enlarged and improved, and includes the latest discoveries 

 and views respecting medicines and their properties. We believe that this work has no equal in value as 

 a book of reference, or of general information on materia medica. The Lancet,

Being one of the most beautiful Medical works published in this country. 

 This work is, indeed, a most valuable one. and will fill up an important vacancy that existed between Dr. 

 Pereira'smost learned and complete system'of Materia Medica, and the class of productions on the other ex- 

 treme, which are necessarily imperfect from their small extent. British and Foreign Medical Review.

A DISPENSATORY AND THERAPEUTICAL REMEMBRANCER. Comprising the entire lists 

 of Materia Medica, with every Practical Formula contained in the three British Pharmacopeias.

 Extemporaneous Forms and Combinations suitable for the different Medicines. By JOHN 

 MA.YNE, M. D., L. R. C. S., EDIN., &c. &c. Edited, with the addition of the formulae of the 

 United States Pharmacopoeia, by R. EGLESFELD GRIFFITH, M. D. In one 12mo. volume, 

 of over three hundred large pages. 

 The neat typography, convenient size, and low price of this volume, recommend it especially to 



physicians, apothecaries, and students in want of a pocket manual.
