PREFACE.

PHARMACOLOGY has of late attained such importance in the
Medical Curriculum, that a Student's Text Book on the
subject is urgently needed. This work is an abstract of
the Lectures delivered at the Westminster Hospital during
the current session. It is adapted primarily to the re-
quirements of students preparing for the examinations of
the Conjoint Board of the Royal College of Surgeons of
England, and the Royal College of Physicians of London.

The Therapeutical aspect of the question has been treated
practically, and it is hoped that the large number of
prescriptions scattered throughout the pages of the book
will prove of use to practitioners who desire to keep
abreast with the progress of modern treatment.
