    TO THE THIRD EDITION. The favourable reception, which the first* and second editions of the New Remedies have experienced, and the necessity for a third edition in so short a period, have sufficiently shown, that the work has been found useful. Grateful for this result, the A uthor has endeavoured to render the present edition still more acceptable to the Profession. He has subjected it to an entire revision, has modified in certain respects the arrangement, and altered the nomenclature so as to cause it to correspond more nearly to that adopted in the Pharmacopoeia of the United States. In the space of time that has elapsed since the appearance of the last edition, opportunities have occurred for testing farther the value and the method of preparing many of the articles. The results of these observations have been added, and especial care has been taken to insert every novelty of practical interest to the Physician and the Pharmaceutist. Fresh articles have likewise been introduced into notice, some of which constitute useful additions to the Materia Medica.
