Abstract
THIS book is an extremely useful compendium of information, admirably classified and sub-divided. Under the various subsections are given not only the chemical composition and pharmacological properties of an extremely large number of substances of therapeutic importance, but also excellent surveys of the literature. The substances described include both synthetic and natural medicaments, but no attempt is made to give actual or possible methods of preparing substances in either category. This is a wise restriction of scope, since that information is easily accessible in other works.
