    From the detailed manner in which the actions, uses, and doses of medicines are considered, and from the original matter introduced regarding aconite, tartar emetic, and other drugs, I trust that the volume may be found useful not only to students as a text-book, but also to practi- tioners as a book of reference. From its practical nature, it may further be serviceable to agriculturists and others who are in the habit of treating simple and incipient cases of disease without professional aid. The works which I have chiefly consulted in the pre- paration of this volume are,—Professor Christison’s “ Dis- pensatory” and “ Treatise on Poisons the late Professor Pereira’s “ Elements of Materia Medica Mr Headland’s “Essay on the Actions of Medicines”—being the Fother- gillian Prize-Essay for 1852 ; the “ Edinburgh Pharma- copoeia ; ” Professor Hertwig’s “ Praktische Arzneimit- tellehre fur Thierarzte,” Berlin; and Moiroud’s “ Traite Elementaire de Matiere Medicale ou de Pharmacologie Veterinaire,” Paris and Toulouse. Edinburgh Veterinary College, 15th December 1853.
