Excerpt from Dental Medicine: A Manual of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics, for Practitioners and Students While the author claims the credit of the compilation, he does not claim originality in the sources, derivations, medical properties and action of the various articles of dental materia medica which are given in this work. His intention has been to present not alone his own ideas as to the particular application of remedies, but also those of well-known and acknowledged authorities, and in such a manner as may be of service to the dental student in acquiring a knowledge of this important branch of his profession; hence nothing has been presented in this work that, in the author's Opinion, is not applicable to dental practice, and that will not be of benefit to the dental student. The dental formulary comprises many valuable combina tions, and credit has been given, in every case where it was possible, to the authors of the different preparations.
