Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of Medicine and Pharmacy Antiquity means ancient or obsolete, and when it is applied to physicians it refers to those who practiced in a misty, distant age. The term usually refers back to the doctors of Egypt, or even Babylon, or early Asiatic coun tries. But it is a wrong assumption to look upon the physicians of those countries as obsolete. The history of medicine may be divided into three periods or ages, to be denominated respectively. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Progress of Pharmacy in Great Britain AT the period at which our history commences, Pharmacy was in the hands of the Physicians, who professed the healing art in all its branches, and prepared their medicines themselves, or superintended the preparation of them. The science of medicine was so little understood, and so imperfectly culti vated, that it was - in general practised empirically, and was often confounded with sorcery and witchcraft. The Greek word, signifies either to practise witchcraft or to use medicine, and this acceptation of the term was acted upon in our own country as late as. The l6th ce_ntury. There were, therefore, persons of various classes, both men and women, who professed to cure disease, some by incantations; others, who considered that by their genius they were cut out and configurated for it; and others, again, who had obtained a kind of traditional education from recognised Physicians, and who therefore constituted the medical profession.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mystery and Romance of Alchemy and Pharmacy IT has been my endeavour in the following pages to sketch, however imperfectly, some phases of the romance and mystery that have surrounded the arts of medicine, alchemy, and pharmacy from the earliest period of which we have record down to the close of the eighteenth century. The influence of the past on the present is greater than we commonly suppose. In this age of rapid scientific progress and brilliant research, we are apt to overlook and lose sight of the patient labours of the early pioneers of science, many of Whom laid the foundations of discoveries that have since proved of inestimable value to mankind. Hence the history of the past, whether in science or in art, is always worthy of study and attention. My thanks are due to the Editor of the Pharmaceutical 70mm!

VI. Animal Substances in Pharmacy. The inclination to find medicinal virtues in parts of animals is not altooetlier unreasonable in its orioin. Savages eat the hearts of lions and tigers to acquire some of the courage and fierceness of those beasts; and a similar instinct would suggest various organs of animals for use in medicine. The employment of foxes lungs in asthmatic and bronchial complaints, for example, seems a most natural remedy to try, and as the lohoch, in which form these lungs were generally administered, was made up with other demulcents, it is not surprising that it should have been often found efficacious. In this section illustrations of the extravagant extent to which faith in medicines of this character has been carried will be given.

Download or read book Principles of Pharmacy Classic Reprint written by Henry Vinecome Arny and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 1190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Pharmacy The study of pharmacy means the study of the theories and exercise of the operations necessary to the intelligent preparing and dispensing Of substances used in the healing art. The two Greek words designat ing this idea were pharmacon, a drug, a medicine, remedy, a potion, charm, spell, and apotheke, ' 'a repository; a storehouse. The first of these roots has been anglicized into such words as pharmacy, the art of preparing, preserving, compounding, and dispensing medicines, and pharmacist, one skilled In pharmacy; while from the second we get into apothecary, one who practises pharmacy. Another word derived from the former root is pharmacopoeia: pharmacon, medicine, and poiei, to make literally, the making of medicines, but now used to designate a book Of medical recipes prepared or approved by the government of the country where published. The history of pharmacopoeia means the history of pharmacy, for as pharmacopoeias evolved from crude handbooks of medical lore to the present works of high scientific value, even so has the practice of pharmacy progressed from the jumbling of crude and often disgusting ingredients, of which the manipulator knew but little, to the modern blending of carefully refined constituents, of which the Operator knows not only the past history, but also the future action, both chemic and therapeutic. The earliest works answering to a pharmacopoeia are Egyptian papyri, such as Papyrus no. 37 of the Berlin Museum, which is_ a fragment from B. C. 1700, and from its historic references seems to be a copy of a manuscript of B. C. 4000. In it five forms of medicine ointments, liniments, poultices, clysters, and potions - are mentioned. The famous Eber Papyrus, while of later date (b. C. Is peculiarly valuable because of its completeness. In it mention is made of such drugs as calamus and myrrh, salt and sodium carbonate, while its list of preparations includes all given in Papyrus No. 37, among others, pills, mixtures, and decoctions.
