Drugs and Medicines of North America, Vol. 1

Excerpt from Drugs and Medicines of North America, Vol. 1: A Publication Devoted to the Historical and Scientific Discussion of the Botany, Pharmacy, Chemistry and Therapeutics of the Medicinal Plants of North America; Their Constituents, Products and Sophistications; Ranunculace

In this volume we have the record of all the American plants of the first natural order (ranunculaceae) that are known in medicine. We next take up the succeeding natural orders, and hope to continue until we have completed the subject.

To those who have assisted us by their subscriptions, we owe a heavy debt of thanks. The issue in periodical form has enabled us to enjoy every advantage both in the preparation and publication, for which we hope they will find a full equivalent in the resulting thoroughness of our work.
