Materia Medica

Work in Latin on Materia medica, without title, and apparently unfinished. Author's holograph MS. Perhaps an early version of his 'Arzneimittellehre' published in 1857: the classification of medicinal substances is considerably different in this MS., from that in the printed work. The date 1850 is found in an added marginal note on p. 186. Produced in Vienna.

c. 1845
