PIFFARD, A.M., M.D., OF NEW YORK CITY, THIS COMPEND IS DEDICATED, IN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HIS FEARLESS TEACHINGS IN THERAPEUTICS. COPYRIGHT, 1886, BY P. BLAKISTON, SON & Co. This Compend is based on the Sixth Revision of the U. S. Pharmacopœia (1880), on the regular text books of Materia Medica and Therapeutics, particularly those by Bartholow, Wood, Ringer, Stillé, Phillips, Piffard, Biddle, Trousseau, and Waring; and on the Author's own notes of two courses of didactic and clinical lectures by Professors Bartholow and Da Costa. Intended as a book for medical students, brevity of statement is one of its principal features. At the same time, the essentials of the subject have been kept in view; from a desire to make the book not only the best of its kind, but a compact compendium of the established maxims of therapeutical science, and the most advanced views concerning the physiological actions of drugs. The preparations noted under each title are those in most general use; to have described all would have been to unnecessarily burden the student's memory. PREFACE TO FOURTH EDITION. The text has again undergone a careful revision for this edition, Dr. Brunton's new Treatise on Pharmacology, Therapeutics, and Materia Medica, having been carefully read before revising. Several articles have been entirely re-written, a chapter on Prescription Writing has been added, and the New Remedies are considered as fully as the limits of the work will allow, in a series of brief notices appended to the text.
