Abstract
THE compilation of a satisfactory text-book of materia medica is a somewhat difficult task, since the author should, at least in an ideal text-book, be equally conversant with the chemistry of drugs, the botany of those which are of vegetable origin and the therapeutics of all. Dr. Marshall has been singularly successful in preserving in this book an even balance between these various divisions into which the subject naturally falls.
