Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Adulterations of Various Substances Used in Medicine and the Arts, With the Means of Detecting Them: Intended as a Manual for the Physician, the Apothecary, and the Artisan
Besides the names employed as the basis of the alphabetical ar rangement which has been adopted, others have been added as sy nonyms. Thus of the medicinal articles, the names used in the Pharmacopoeia of the United States (indicated by the letters U. S.) have in all cases been given. To obviate the difficulty Which might otherwise arise on this account, a very copious index has been pre pared. It is believed that no one Who may use this volume as a book of reference will consider this an unnecessary addition.
In the appendix will be found full descriptions of the various chemical operations noticed in the body of the work, directions for the preparation of reagents, and several tables exhibiting the beha viour of some reagents with the more important substances. The materials for the first two divisions have been chie?y drawn from the work of Fresenius already referred to; While the tables have been compiled from Will's Outlines of Qualitative Analysis.
