    gents,—and especially to country doctors making their round of visits—Doses other than those therein given are inserted. In doing this, Dr, Garrod has been almost exclusively followed. In order, however, to distinguish between the officinal (or Pharmacopoeial) doses and the non-officinal, the latter are uniformly placed within brackets [-],—while the former are without these. And, indeed, it may be added, that everything, or almost everything, in this Syllabus, not contained in the Phar¬ macopoeia is placed within brackets. Further, wherever a preparation is introduced under one of its subordinate constituents, or out of its proper order for teaching pur¬ poses, it is put within parenthesis (—). Yet, wherever or however often it appears, the Dose is, for convenience sake, in all cases appended. Teachers and Students are requested to read carefully the Introduction following—explanatory of the main intention of the book. University of Aberdeen,
