PREFACE.
This little work is intended for the medical
student as well as for the busy practitioner. The
author hopes the work will prove as useful to
those for whom it is designed as it has been to
himself in compiling it. Only the most character-
istic symptoms have been given, since the principal
purpose was that it should serve only as a ref
erence to refresh the mind. The balance of the
picture can be filled up from the larger works.
An index has not been inserted because of the
alphabetical arrangement of the remedies.
Baltimore, Md., 1903.
