Abstract
THE position of Mr. Greenish as Professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy to the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain has enabled him to produce in the book before us a very useful aid to the students attending his lectures, as well as a valuable handbook to the subject for the use of those of riper years. In his preface the author is careful to explain the meaning of the term Materia Medica, and to qualify the meaning of the words “crude drugs” as distinct from those that have been subjected to preparation. In this connection he says:
An Introduction to the Study of Materia Medica.
Being a short account of the more important crude drugs of vegetable and animal origin. By Henry G. Greenish. With 213 illustrations. Pp. xxi + 511. (London: J. and A. Churchill, 1899.)
