    TO THE AMERICAN EDITION. IN presenting this first American edition of the Pharmacopoeia Chirurgica, the editor assures him- self, that he offers an useful and acceptable work to the profession in general. This Manual of Chirur- gical Pharmacy has been stamped, by the faculty in Europe, with general approbation; it is the pro- duction of a gentleman, whose opportunities for obtaining a correct knowledge of Pharmacy, and ap- plying that knowledge to practice, were of no ordi- nary character. Among the various attempts which have been made, to compile a useful and practical collection of Formulae, the editor has as yet met with none in any degree to be compared with this, which he now offers to the public, comprising nnre valuable and useful prescriptions than are to be found in any other work of the same nature.
