✦ Synopsis
The Pharmacopceia of the Massachusetts Medical Society was presented in manuscript June 5, 1807; it was "prepared conformably to a vote of the Counselors, passed on the 3rd day of October 1805, and published in Boston, December 17, 1807." The following paragraphs are quoted from the Preface:
"Such a work is mutually convenient to the physician and apothecary. As it is the business of the physician to prescribe, and the apothecary to prepare medicines the physicians as a body ought to point out those articles of medicine, which they shall ordinarily employ, and the standard preparations of them."
Only the last lines of the last paragraph are quoted:
"They (the members of the Massachusetts Medical Society) cannot therefore hesitate to solicit the aid of all scientific men in effecting a revolution, so very desirable for the correct practice of medicine; a revolution, which concerns the reputation and success of every medical practitioner, and the health and safety of every individual.
