Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Medical and Pharmaceutical Latin for Students of Pharmacy and Medicine: A Guide to the Grammatical Construction and Translation of Physicians' Prescriptions, Including Extensive Vocabularies and an Appendix Upon Foreign Prescriptions
It is the author's earnest hope that this volume may be of some service to medical students and may assist them to write prescriptions in Latin, as was formerly the general custom, and is surely eminently desirable at the present time.
Whereas the physician must know the Latin equivalent of the English, the dispensing chemist is concerned with the translation Of the Latin into appropriate English. The candidate for the Minor Examination Of the Pharmaceutical Society Of Great Britain is required to read without abbrevi ation prescriptions written in Latin, to translate them into English, and furthermore to understand the grammatical construction of the Latin employed. It has been my endeavour to place before the student a work that will be Of assistance to him in acquiring such knowledge.
