Memory is treacherous. It is +particularly so with those who have much to do and more to think of. +When the best remedy is wanted, to meet indications in cases that are a +little out of the usual run, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, +to recall the whole array of available remedies so as to pick out the +best. Strange to say, too, it is the most thoroughly informed man that +is likely to suffer to the greatest extent in this way; because of the +very fact that his mind is overburdened. But a mere reminder is all he +needs, to make him at once master of the situation and enable him to +prescribe exactly what his judgment tells him is needed for the +occasion. + +In MERCK'S MANUAL the physician will find a complete Ready-Reference +Book covering the entire eligible Materia Medica. A glance over it just +before or just after seeing a patient will refresh his memory in a way +that will facilitate his coming to a decision. In this book, small as +it is, he will find the essential data found in the ponderous +Dispensatories, together with the facts of newest record, which can +appear only in future editions of those works. + +Part I affords at a glance a descriptive survey, in one alphabetic +series, of the entire Materia Medica to-day in general use by the +American profession. Part II contains a summary of Therapeutic +Indications for the employment of remedies, arranged according to +the Pathologic Conditions to be combated. Part III presents a +Classification of Medicaments in accordance with their Physiologic +Actions. + + +The publishers may be allowed to state that they have labored long and +earnestly, so to shape this little volume that it shall prove a firm +and faithful help to the practitioner in his daily round of duty. They +now send it forth in the confident hope that, the more it is put to the +test of actual use, the more it will grow in the esteem of its +possessor. + + + + +CONTENTS. + + +~Pages 9 to 82.~ + +~Part First.--THE MATERIA MEDICA, as in actual use to-day by American +Physicians.~ (Alphabetically arranged.) + +THIS PART EMBRACES all those Simple Medicinal Substances (that +is, drugs and chemicals) which are in current and well-established use +in the medical practice of this country; or which, if too recently +introduced to be as yet in general use, are vouched for by eminent +authorities in medical science;--also, the medicinally employed +Pharmaceutic Preparations recognized by the United States +Pharmacopoeia. + + (Added thereto, for the convenience of those practitioners who + prescribe them, are Medicamentous Mixtures advertised only to the + Profession, but whose composition or mode of manufacture has not + been made known with sufficient completeness or exactness to + satisfy all members of the Profession. In the selection the + publishers have been guided solely by the recognition accorded the + various preparations by the Profession, according to the best + information obtained.) + +There has also been included, under the title of "Foods and Dietetic +Preparations," a list of such preparations as are frequently prescribed +for infants' diet, or for the sick or convalescent. + +OMITTED from the Materia Medica chapter are: Medicaments that +have become obsolete, or that are too rarely used to be of general +interest; and such new remedies as are not yet safely accredited on +reliable authority; also those galenic preparations (syrups, extracts, +pills, essences, elixirs, wines, emulsions, etc.) which are not +standardized according to the U.S. Pharmacopoeia; likewise all +articles that are put up and advertised for self-medication by the +lay public. + +SEPARATE TITLES in the alphabetic series are accorded, as a rule, +to the botanical drugs and other pharmaceutical mother-substances, +to proximate principles (alkaloids, glucosides, organic acids, etc.), +and to chemical compounds (salts, "synthetics," etc.); while the +official galenic preparations, solutions and dilutions, derived +from them, are mostly mentioned under the titles of their respective +mother-substances. (Thus, for instance, "Dover's Powder" will be +found under "Opium," while "Morphine" is described under its own +title.) + + (_Smaller type_ has been employed--in order to economize + space--for botanic drugs, gums, and some others of the older drugs + and preparations which are so long and well known that but little + reference will need be made to them.) + + (Those substances of the Materia Medica which can be had of the + MERCK brand are--for the convenience of prescribers--so + designated). + + * * * * * + +~Pages 83 to 184.~ + +~Part Second.--THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS for the use of the Materia +Medica and other agents.~ (Arranged alphabetically under the titles +of the various Pathologic Conditions.) + +THIS PART SUMMARIZES in brief form, the principal means of +treatment for each form of disease, as reported to be in good use with +practitioners at the present time. The statements hereon are drawn from +the standard works of the leading modern writers on Therapeutics, and +supplemented--in the case of definite chemicals of more recent +introduction--by the reports of reputable clinical investigators. + + * * * * * + +~Pages 185 to 192.~ + +~Part Third.--CLASSIFICATION OF MEDICAMENTS according to their +Physiologic Actions.~ (Arranged alphabetically under the titles of +the Actions.) + +THIS PART RECAPITULATES, for ready survey, such statements as +are already given in "PART I," as to the modes of action of +the various medicaments. + + + + +INDEX. + + + THE MATERIA MEDICA, as in actual use to-day by American + Physicians.
