NOTE. Titles will adhere largely to official usage, 

 unofficial drugs being given the commonly used nomen- 

 clature. Following will appear the United States Phar- 

 macopeia title, if official in either the Eighth or Ninth 

 Revision, and printed in capital letters; then com- 

 mon name, or names, in small capitals; and, finally, 

 botanical names in italics. No set outline will be ad- 

 hered to in sub-heads, this work being a more or less 

 informal presentation from the standpoint of clinical 

 medicine, not an academic one; hence the Metric System 

 will not be employed. 



Dosage will appear under the heading, "Adminis- 

 tration." United States Pharmacopeia "average doses" 

 will not always be used, those employed being appro- 

 priate for more or less continuous administration to 

 adults. Abbreviations: The abbreviation "2V." or 

 "tr." will mean 10 per cent tincture United States 

 Pharmacopeia, Homeopathic, or unofficial. "Fl." or 

 "fl." will mean any product of approximately United 

 States Pharmacopeia fluidextract strength United 

 States Pharmacopeia or foreign fiuidextracts, "Nor- 

 mals" or "Specific Medicines." Other abbreviations 

 will conform to common usage.
