Pharmacopoeia Of India

The ""Pharmacopoeia of India"" is a comprehensive guide to the medical substances and preparations used in India in the late 19th century. Compiled by Edward John Waring under the authority of Her Majesty's Secretary of State for India in Council in 1868, this book contains detailed descriptions of various drugs, their properties, uses, and dosages. The text is organized alphabetically, with each entry providing information on the drug's botanical and chemical characteristics, its pharmacological effects, and its therapeutic applications. The book also includes a section on the preparation of medicines, as well as guidelines for the quality control and standardization of drugs. This historic volume offers a fascinating glimpse into the medical practices of colonial India, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners of traditional medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
