Excerpt from The Book of Prescriptions: Containing More Than 3000 Prescriptions, Collected From the Practice of the Most Eminent Physicians and Surgeons, English and Foreign To the Second Edition of the Book of Prescriptions, one hundred additional prescriptions were added, collected from recent works, English, French, and American.
