+
+PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION
+
+
+The Pharmacopeia of the United States and the National Formulary are now
+recognized by federal and state laws as standards for drugs and their
+preparations. Physicians who prescribe Pharmacopeial or National
+Formulary drugs or preparations, therefore, are more likely to obtain a
+good and constant quality than if they prescribe unofficial articles,
+i.e., articles that have no legalized standard. Hence medical men are
+interested in knowing what drugs and preparations are included in these
+two books of standards. Both the Pharmacopeia and the National
+Formulary, however, contain a vast amount of technical information, of
+value to pharmacists but of little interest to physicians. The Journal
+of the American Medical Association in 1907 issued the "Physicians'
+Manual of the U.S. Pharmacopeia and National Formulary," a book designed
+to meet the needs of physicians in this respect. The fact that this book
+did meet a real need is evidenced by the continued demand for it.
+
+The present "Epitome of the U.S. Pharmacopeia and National Formulary"
+takes the place of that book, but is based on the new (the ninth)
+revision of the Pharmacopeia and the new (the fourth) edition of the
+National Formulary. It has been prepared under the direction of a
+committee appointed by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the
+American Medical Association. The aim has been to include all the matter
+in the Pharmacopeia and National Formulary which is likely to be of
+interest to physicians. This, it is believed, consists of the official
+titles and their abbreviations; synonyms; brief definitions; when
+necessary, concise descriptions of the physical properties; and dosage.
+Since both the Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary include many
+drugs and preparations which are irrational, superfluous or worthless,
+in many cases the medical members of the committee have added brief
+comments to aid a discriminating selection of therapeutic agents.
+
+In this epitome drugs are arranged alphabetically by Pharmacopeial or
+National Formulary titles; preparations of drugs are placed under the
+drugs themselves. Thus Tinctura Digitalis is placed not among the Ts,
+but among the Ds under Digitalis. Names of drugs are in black-face type;
+names of preparations are in light-face italics. An index is added to
+assist in ready reference.
+
+Statements of composition refer in some cases to percentage by volume,
+in others to percentage by weight, and in still others to percentage by
+weight-volume--that is, the weight of a given chemical contained (or the
+weight of a given vegetable drug represented by extractives) in 100 Cc.
+of the preparation. It has not been thought worth while to indicate
+whether the statement in each case is by volume, weight or
+weight-volume, since the differences are too small to have any
+therapeutic importance. Statements of alcoholic content refer to
+percentage by volume and are approximate only. In a few instances in
+which the quantity of alcohol in a dose is small, or in which the
+preparation is intended for external use, the alcohol content is not
+stated.
+
+DOSAGE statements, when followed by the letters "U.S.P." or "N.F.," are
+taken from these books, respectively, and are understood to be the
+average adult doses. In some cases in which this statement was felt to
+be inadequate or unsatisfactory, further suggestions as to dosage have
+been added.
+
+
+
+
+PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION
+
+
+The text of this edition is the same as that of the first, except that a
+few typographical errors which were in the first edition have been
+corrected.
+
+The new edition differs from the first in the following particulars:
+
+In the first edition, a star indicates that the drug is included in the
+second (1916) edition of Useful Drugs. To bring the present edition up
+to date, the star (*) here indicates that the drug is included in the
+fifth (1921) edition of Useful Drugs.
+
+In compliance with the opinion expressed by some that a more complete
+index would be helpful, the index to the second edition has been
+materially extended. It is hoped that this will help to familiarize
+those who purchase the book with its contents.

+ of mild fevers. A habit-forming drug. If used for a
+ long period of time, it may produce a severe anemia.
+
+ DOSAGE: 0.3 Gm. or 5 grains (U.S.P.), in powders or
+ capsules. If small doses fail to relieve headache, larger
+ doses are also usually ineffective.

+Obtained from benzoin or prepared synthetically.
+
+ Lustrous, almost colorless scales or needles, with a pungent, acid
+ taste. Slightly soluble in water (1:275) and freely soluble in
+ alcohol (1:2.3); also readily soluble in solutions of alkali
+ hydroxides or carbonates with the production of alkali benzoates.
+
+ ACTION AND USES: Mild antiseptic and diuretic.
+
+ DOSAGE: 0.5 Gm. or 8 grains (U.S.P.), best given in the
+ form of soluble benzoates (see under =Sodii Benzoas=).
+
+
+*=Acidum Boricum (Acid. Bor.) Boric Acid, U.S.P.= (Boracic
+Acid).--H{3}BO{3}.
+
+ Colorless, odorless scales or powder with a faintly bitter taste.
+ Soluble in water and in alcohol (1:18); freely soluble in glycerin
+ (1:4).
+
+ ACTION AND USES: Mild antiseptic and astringent.
+
+ DOSAGE: 0.5 Gm. or 8 grains (U.S.P.), in solution. A
+ watery solution, ranging from 2 per cent. to =saturated=, is
+ used in the treatment of conjunctivitis, cystitis, etc.
+ Externally used as dusting powder.
+
+_*Glyceritum Boroglycerini (Glycer. Boroglyc.), Glycerite of
+Boroglycerin, U.S.P._--Boroglycerin in glycerin representing 31% boric

+menthol, sodium salicylate and sodium benzoate in alcohol and water.
+

+
+_*Unguentum Acidi Borici (Ung. Acid. Bor.), Ointment of Boric Acid,
+U.S.P._--Boric acid (10%) in paraffin and white petrolatum.

+
+ A dark-brown, odorless solid, with a metallic acid taste. Very
+ soluble in water and in alcohol.
+
+ ACTION AND USES: "Alterative" apparently of no value.
+
+ DOSAGE: 0.006 Gm. or 1/10 grain (N.F.).
+
+_Liquor Auri et Arseni Bromidi (Liq. Aur. et Arsen. Brom.), Solution of

+USEFUL DRUGS
+
+
+A descriptive list of selected drugs, which has been prepared under the
+direction and supervision of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of
+the American Medical Association.
+
+This list was compiled for the purpose of aiding the movement toward the
+elimination of the mass of useless or superfluous drugs now in books on
+materia medica. It is particularly fitted to serve as a text for
+teachers of materia medica and therapeutics.
+
+Many state medical examining boards are limiting their examinations on
+therapeutics to this list of drugs.
+
+In this book the properties--pharmacologic action, therapeutic uses and
+dosage, and methods of administration--are briefly but practically
+discussed.
+
+Cloth, flexible cover, 4-1/2 by 7-1/2 inches, 176 pages. Price,
+postpaid, 60 cents.
