REFERENCE BOOK. ADAPTED TO THE USE OF THE PHYSICIAN, THE PHARMACIST, BY RICHARD J. DUNGLISON, M.D. PHILADELPHIA: Entered according to the Act of Congress, in the year 1877, by RICHARD J. DUNGLISON, M.D., in the Office of the Librarian of Congress. All rights reserved. COLLINS, PRINTER. RC55 D91 1577 PREFACE. FROM personal experience of the wants of the busy practitioner, the author is confident that a work of ready reference containing, in a compact and tangible shape, information of a purely practical character, will prove a desirable addition to his medical armamentarium. The physician is frequently at a loss to know in what direction to look, in order to procure such facts and hints as are here collected, some of which are widely scattered through voluminous professional treatises or the-in many instances inaccessible pages of medical periodicals; while the other original suggestions and precepts offered for his guidance will, it is believed, meet many of his daily needs. The cordial indorsement of the objects of the work, with which the author has already been favored by leading and active members of the profession, induces him to indulge the hope that it may become an indispensable companion as a handy-book for every-day consultation.
