Excerpt from Favorite Prescriptions of Distinguished Practitioners: With Notes on Treatment

Surrounded by the voluminous medical publications of the times, the busy practitioner is often at a loss to select from the mass of material at his disposal, without monopolizing time that he can ill afford to spend in this way, that combination of therapeutical agencies which the experience of the most learned, successful and best trained medical minds of the age has proven is best adapted to meet the indications for treatment in well known conditions of disease. The author has striven, in this presentation of favorite prescriptions and practical points in treatment, to place before the profession for constant reference, in a condensed, readily accessible way, matter that could only be gleaned from careful study and association with the medical writers and teachers of the times.

No pretence of originality is made. The book is essentially a compilation. It is, however, a book which it is believed will be eminently useful. The design of the writer will have been accomplished if he succeeds by his offering in rendering more available for every-day use and guidance the practical treasures of medical wisdom which have been gathered from the earnest labors and careful observations of the most distinguished practitioners of the age.
