Johnstone, James, M.D.:

$400 · Offered by William Reese Company

A THERAPEUTIC ARRANGEMENT AND SYLLABUS OF MATERIA MEDICA. A "regular" materia medica, including mineral, plant, and animal substances. The prominence of mineral compounds and decidedly clinical language in this work let it stand in contrast to the popular alternative materia medica of the day, particularly those of the Thomsonian Botanic movements. James Johnstone was a fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, an important medical society co-founded by Benjamin Rush in 1787.
