Book excerpt: Excerpt from Therapeutics of the Respiratory System: Cough and Coryza, Acute and Chronic; Repertory With Index, Materia Medica With Index The primary objects of this book are to save time and to render the work of the physician more efficient. It saves time by bringing together all the drugs applicable to a given case; it renders the work of the therapeutist more efficient by enabling him to select with greater precision the drug he will use. The foundation of the Materia Medica herein set forth is Hering's Guiding Symptoms, the entire ten volumes of which have been carefully consulted from cover to cover, _ and the most prominent, striking and peculiar symptoms noted, as well as those that most strongly and clearly indicate the drug. The following paragraphs in Hering's Guiding Symptoms have been carefully reviewed. No. 1, Mind; No. 7, Nose; No. 12, Mouth; No. 13, Palate and Throat; No. 25, Larynx and Bronchi; No. 26, Respiration; No. 27, Cough; No. 28, Inner Chest and Lungs; No. 29, Heart, Pulse, and Circulation. By consulting these sections one will see how much labor was necessary to condense and choose. This may not always have been done with the best judgment; but if anyone will try his hand on one full drug, he will have a better basis for judging of the work as a whole.
