Excerpt from Botanical Materia Medica and Pharmacology: Drugs Considered From a Botanical, Pharmaceutical, Physiological, Therapeutical and Toxicological Standpoint The only excuse I can offer to the medical profession for the arrangement and compilation of the information contained in this little volume, which comprises the principal practical points of over one hundred of our most useful vegetable drugs, and Which instruction, the most of it, may be found scattered throughout other text books is, that we might have in condensed form these important and practical points of drug knowledge, which must be of great value alike to the student and the practitioner. I have long felt the Want of a reference book containing the information which I have gathered for this little work. While delivering two courses of lectures in The Chicago Homoeopathic Medical College, upon the general subject of Botany, Pharmacology and the Fundamental Principles of 'drugs, the students repeatedly requested me to arrange the subject matter of my lectures into a form so that they could have them for practical reference.
