In the description of the Physical and Chemical and other characters of the Drugs, or of Materia Medica proper, he continues to adopt the Natural History arrangement as most conducive to accuracy of knowledge. Under each article are given, the Physical and Chemical properties of the inorganic or organic product used; and with the latter the description of the Mineral, Plant, or Animal producing the drug, along with its Preparations, Tests, Actions, Uses and Doses.
