A COMPENDIUM of DOMESTIC MEDICINE, and COMPANION to the MEDICINE CHEST. Comprising Plain Directions for the Employment of Medicines――their Properties and Doses――Brief Descriptions of the Symptoms and Treatment of Diseases――Disorders incidental to Infants and Children――Directions for restoring Suspended Animation――Counteracting the Effects of Poison――A Selection of the most Efficacious Prescriptions and various Mechanical Auxiliaries to Medicine. By JOHN SAVORY, Member of the Society of Apothecaries, and late President of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. “This is decidedly the completest work of its kind that has fallen under our notice.”――_Mirror._ “This very useful little manual is entirely divested of scientific phraseology, and may be safely consulted, in cases of emergency, by persons residing at a distance from their medical adviser, more particularly where delay may be productive of fatal results.”――_Analyst._ “A work which merits the attention of our parochial clergy, who are often called upon to act the part of the good Samaritan. In cases of trying emergency, when medical assistance is not at hand, it will be found a safe guide, the symptoms of diseases being clearly defined, and their appropriate remedies plainly pointed out.”――_Essex Standard._ * * * * * Transcriber’s Notes: ――Text in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_). ――Obvious punctuation and spelling inaccuracies were silently corrected. ――Archaic and variable spelling has been preserved.
