Transcriber’s Notes
Inconsistent, archaic and unusual spelling, hyphenation, capitalisation, etc. have been retained, except as mentioned below. This includes the use of Linne for Linné, atrophine for atropine, Qussia for Quassia, incontinuence for incontinence, Reisling and Resiling for Riesling; Chichona and Cinchona; chlorid and chlorate for chloride, etc. that may either be deliberately used alternative spellings or typographical errors.
Individual medicines have been treated as sections, which were (when applicable) grouped together in chapters based on their common compound.
The book has several sentences where a word (or some words) may be missing; these have not been corrected, unless mentioned below.
Depending on the hard- and software used and their settings, not all elements may display as intended.
