Medical and Pharmaceutical Latin

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is the author's earnest hope that this volume may be of some service to medical students and may assist them to write prescriptions in Latin, as was formerly the general custom, and is surely eminently desirable at the present time. Whereas the physician must know the Latin equivalent of the English, the dispensing chemist is concerned with the translation Of the Latin into appropriate English. The candidate for the Minor Examination Of the Pharmaceutical Society Of Great Britain is required to read without abbrevi ation prescriptions written in Latin, to translate them into English, and furthermore to understand the grammatical construction of the Latin employed. It has been my endeavour to place before the student a work that will be Of assistance to him in acquiring such knowledge.
