SUMMARY OF VETERINARY MATERIA MEDICA, THERAPEUTICS AND TOXICOLOGY

Materia Medica, derived from two Latin words signifying medical material, the science which treats with medicine, their source or origin, their derivatives, physical and chemical properties, their method of preparation and administration, their dose, physiological and toxicological effects.

Therapeutics, derived from the Greek, Therapevo, meaning to serve or attend the sick, is that branch of knowledge which treats of the application of all means—medical or otherwise—to the cure of disease or relief of pain.
