Author
Title
A new English dispensatory, in four parts. Containing, I. A more accurate account of the simple medicines, than any hitherto extant. II. The officinal compositions, according to the last alterations of the College at London : to which are added, the emendations of the Edinburgh dispensatory: and many other compositions, taken from the practice of our hospitals, and the most celebrated authors. III. Extemporaneous prescriptions, taken from the best authors, and the most eminent physicians now in practice. IV. A rational account of the operation of medicines. To which are added the quantities of the middle syllables of the Latin names, express'd by long and short marks : so that this dispensatory answers at the same time the purpose of Prosodia Pharmaceutica. By James Alleyne, M.D.
