The  title  of  this  little  book  fully  explains  its  scope.  Eleven  hundred 
formulas  are  given,  a  large  number  being  by  prominent  American  phy- 
sicians, and  each  is  credited  to  its  author.  The  arrangement  is  alphabetical, 
on  a  therapeutic  basis,  and  by  the  use  of  the  patent  index  all  references  are 
readily  made.  With  each  letter  a  number  of  blank  leaves  have  been  bound 
for  the  recording  of  additional  formulas.  The  book  is  bound  in  flexible 
morocco,  and  being  conveniently  carried  in  the  pocket,  is  always  readily 
accessible  to  the  practitioner.
