It contains an exhaustive list of different remedies (derived from plants, animals, minerals, etc.), how to prepare them, and how they are used. The texbook also includes numerous drugs like cannabis and cocaine and poisons like arsenic and lead. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular copy dates to 1878 and is bound in a plain, brown cloth binding with a chipped title plate on the spine. The texblock is in good shape overall with one spot of damage on the edge that looks like a burn. It affects some of the page edges. The text has some writing in pencil from the doctor who originally owned it, so this was used in someone’s actual stufies or medical practice. One handwritten page of notes was found inside.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roses \u0026 Rue Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45120911179976,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/2188\/7432\/files\/7D9E9B73-E9E8-48E3-91B9-17302B634F11.jpg?v=1782004993","url":"https:\/\/rosesandrueantiques.com\/products\/materia-medica-1878-pharmacology-text-book","provider":"Roses \u0026 Rue Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
