MATERIA MEDICA. 
and concentrated view, as far as we have 
been able, not only of the substances em- 
ployed, but of the mode and preparation 
in which they are exhibited by the ditfer- 
ent pharmacopoeias at present extant, we 
may be told, perhaps, that we are hereby, 
in some measure, entrenching upon the 
province of Pharmacy, properly so called. 
We are not insensible lo the remark ; but 
we hereby gain an advantage which no 
other plan could present to us ; we offer 
at one and the same time a table of com- 
parative statements, and show the various 
forms in which the same material becomes 
an official drug. AVe have also been anxious 
to exhibit, in every instance, a glance at 
the common dose for adult age, as well as to 
specify in terms as abbreviated as possi- 
ble, the name of the country in which the 
different articles exist indigenously ; the 
part or organ of the substance employed ; 
and the disease in which it is supposed to 
be efficacious. The classification is as fol- 
lows, and every class is subdivided as far as 
possible into an animal, a vegetable and a 
fbssile section.
