Excerpt from A Pharmacopoeia for the Treatment of Diseases of the Larynx, Pharynx and Nasal Passages The experience of a number of years in clinical teaching has convinced me that the time which is ordinarily devoted, during a limited course of lectures on a special subject, in dictating to the student in the first instance, and repeating in detail from time to time during the course, the necessarily large number and variety of formulae that are requisite for intelligent treatment, can be more profitably employed, and the subject itself better and more clearly understood without laborious and too often imperfect note-taking, by collecting the commoner and more reliable ones in a systematic but simple form, which will always be accessible and ready for reference. In pursuance of this conviction I have prepared this little volume for the use of my Students, and in connection with my lectures, and I offer this explanation to those members of the profession who may have occasion to consult my work, in view of the necessarily somewhat brief, even dogmatic, manner in which certain personal views are presented and certain courses of treatment advised. The following pages will be found to contain the formulae alone of such local applications as are adapted to the treatment of the various affections of the larynx, pharynx, and nasal passages, and which have been carefully tested in the light of personal clinical experience and found to possess a practical worth.
