Sinopsis

The Officinal Materia Medica, written by Frederick Thomas Roberts and originally published in 1887, is a comprehensive guide to the medicinal properties of plants, minerals, and other substances commonly used in medicine during the late 19th century. The book is divided into three sections: the first provides an introduction to the study of materia medica, including its history, classification, and methods of preparation, the second presents detailed descriptions of over 200 medicinal substances, including their physical and chemical properties, therapeutic uses, and dosages, and the third includes a glossary of medical terms and an index of common names. The Officinal Materia Medica is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine, herbalism, or pharmacology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
