FROM PREFACE TO FIFTH EDITION. 



" The appearance of the sixth decennial revision of the ' United States Phar- 

 macopoeia ' has imposed on me the necessity of preparing a new edition of this 

 treatise. I have accordingly adapted the work to the official standard, and 

 have also given to the whole of it a careful revision, incorporating the more re- 

 cent improvements in the science and art of therapeutics. Many additions have 

 been made, and parts have been rewritten. These additions and changes have 

 added about one hundred pages to the body of the work, and increased space 

 has been secured in some places by the omission of the references. In the new 

 material, as in the old, practical utility has been the ruling principle, but the 

 scientific aspects of therapeutics have not been subordinated to a utilitarian 

 empiricism. In the new matter as in the old, careful consideration has been 

 given to the physiological action of remedies, which is regarded as the true basis 

 of all real progress in therapeutical science ; but, at the same time, I have not 

 been unmindful of the contributions made by properly conducted clinical obser- 

 vations."

The same qualities and characteristics which have rendered the author's 

 " Treatise on Materia Medica and Therapeutics " so acceptable are equally mani- 

 fest in this. It is clear, condensed, and accurate. The whole work is brought 

 upon a level with, and incorporates, the latest acquisitions of medical science, 

 and may be depended on to contain the most recent information up to the date 

 of publication.
