ANALYSES FOR...PHYSICIANS
By the Analytic Laboratories of Merck & Co. New York
_Examinations of Water, Milk, Blood, Urine, Sputum, Pus, Food
Products, Beverages, Drugs, Minerals, Coloring Matters, etc., for
diagnostic, prophylactic, or other scientific purposes._
All analyses at these Laboratories are so conducted as to assure the
best service attainable on the basis of the latest scientific
developments. The laboratories are amply supplied with a perfect
quality of reagent materials, and with the most efficient constructions
of modern apparatus and instruments. The probable cost for some of the
most frequently needed researches is approximately indicated below:
Sputum, for tuberculosis bacilli, $3.00
Urine, for tuberculosis bacilli, 3.00
Milk, for tuberculosis bacilli, 3.00
Urine, qualitative, for one constituent, 1.50
Urine, qualitative, for each additional constituent, 1.00
Urine, quantitative, for each constituent, 3.00
Urine, sediment, microscopical, 1.50
Blood, for ratio of white to red corpuscles, 2.00
Blood, for Widal's typhoid reaction, 2.00
Water, for general fitness to drink, 10.00
Water, for typhoid germs, 25.00
Water, quantitative determination of any one constituent, 10.00
Pus, for gonococci, 3.00
The cost for other analyses--more variable in scope--can only be given
upon closer knowledge of the requirements of individual cases.
All pharmacists in every part of the United States will receive and
transmit orders for the MERCK ANALYTIC LABORATORIES.
_Physicians are earnestly requested to communicate to Merck & Co.,
University Place, New York, any suggestions that may tend to improve
this book for its Second Edition, which will soon be in course of
preparation._
_Whatever the Publishers can do to make Merck's Manual of still greater
service to the Medical Profession will be gladly undertaken and
promptly performed for all subsequent editions._
_Therefore, any Physician who will propose improvements in the
subject-matter (especially as regards the Newer Materia Medica), or in
the arrangement, style, and form of this work, for future editions,
will thus be rendering valuable service, not only to its Publishers,
but to the entire Profession as well!_

MERCK'S 1899 MANUAL
OF THE
MATERIA MEDICA
TOGETHER WITH A SUMMARY OF THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS AND A
CLASSIFICATION OF MEDICAMENTS
A READY-REFERENCE POCKET BOOK
FOR THE
PRACTICING PHYSICIAN
CONTAINING
NAMES AND CHIEF SYNONYMS, PHYSICAL FORM AND APPEARANCE, SOLUBILITIES,
PERCENTAGE STRENGTHS AND PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS, THERAPEUTIC USES,
MODES OF ADMINISTRATION AND APPLICATION, REGULAR AND MAXIMUM DOSAGE,
INCOMPATIBLES, ANTIDOTES, PRECAUTIONARY REQUIREMENTS, ETC., ETC.,--OF
THE
CHEMICALS AND DRUGS USUAL IN MODERN MEDICAL PRACTICE
_Compiled from the Most Recent Authoritative Sources and Published by_
MERCK & CO., NEW YORK
Copyright by Merck & Co., New York, 1899
MERCK'S MANUAL is designed to meet a need which every general
practitioner has often experienced. Memory is treacherous. It is
particularly so with those who have much to do and more to think of.
When the best remedy is wanted, to meet indications in cases that are a
little out of the usual run, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible,
to recall the whole array of available remedies so as to pick out the
best. Strange to say, too, it is the most thoroughly informed man that
is likely to suffer to the greatest extent in this way; because of the
very fact that his mind is overburdened. But a mere reminder is all he
needs, to make him at once master of the situation and enable him to
prescribe exactly what his judgment tells him is needed for the
occasion.
In MERCK'S MANUAL the physician will find a complete Ready-Reference
Book covering the entire eligible Materia Medica. A glance over it just
before or just after seeing a patient will refresh his memory in a way
that will facilitate his coming to a decision. In this book, small as
it is, he will find the essential data found in the ponderous
Dispensatories, together with the facts of newest record, which can
appear only in future editions of those works.
Part I affords at a glance a descriptive survey, in one alphabetic
series, of the entire Materia Medica to-day in general use by the
American profession. Part II contains a summary of Therapeutic
Indications for the employment of remedies, arranged according to
the Pathologic Conditions to be combated. Part III presents a
Classification of Medicaments in accordance with their Physiologic
Actions.
The publishers may be allowed to state that they have labored long and
earnestly, so to shape this little volume that it shall prove a firm
and faithful help to the practitioner in his daily round of duty. They
now send it forth in the confident hope that, the more it is put to the
test of actual use, the more it will grow in the esteem of its
possessor.
CONTENTS.
~Pages 9 to 82.~
~Part First.--THE MATERIA MEDICA, as in actual use to-day by American
Physicians.~ (Alphabetically arranged.)
THIS PART EMBRACES all those Simple Medicinal Substances (that
is, drugs and chemicals) which are in current and well-established use
in the medical practice of this country; or which, if too recently
introduced to be as yet in general use, are vouched for by eminent
authorities in medical science;--also, the medicinally employed
Pharmaceutic Preparations recognized by the United States
Pharmacopoeia.
(Added thereto, for the convenience of those practitioners who
prescribe them, are Medicamentous Mixtures advertised only to the
Profession, but whose composition or mode of manufacture has not
been made known with sufficient completeness or exactness to
satisfy all members of the Profession. In the selection the
publishers have been guided solely by the recognition accorded the
various preparations by the Profession, according to the best
information obtained.)
There has also been included, under the title of "Foods and Dietetic
Preparations," a list of such preparations as are frequently prescribed
for infants' diet, or for the sick or convalescent.
OMITTED from the Materia Medica chapter are: Medicaments that
have become obsolete, or that are too rarely used to be of general
interest; and such new remedies as are not yet safely accredited on
reliable authority; also those galenic preparations (syrups, extracts,
pills, essences, elixirs, wines, emulsions, etc.) which are not
standardized according to the U.S. Pharmacopoeia; likewise all
articles that are put up and advertised for self-medication by the
lay public.
SEPARATE TITLES in the alphabetic series are accorded, as a rule,
to the botanical drugs and other pharmaceutical mother-substances,
to proximate principles (alkaloids, glucosides, organic acids, etc.),
and to chemical compounds (salts, "synthetics," etc.); while the
official galenic preparations, solutions and dilutions, derived
from them, are mostly mentioned under the titles of their respective
mother-substances. (Thus, for instance, "Dover's Powder" will be
found under "Opium," while "Morphine" is described under its own
title.)
(_Smaller type_ has been employed--in order to economize
space--for botanic drugs, gums, and some others of the older drugs
and preparations which are so long and well known that but little
reference will need be made to them.)
(Those substances of the Materia Medica which can be had of the
MERCK brand are--for the convenience of prescribers--so
designated).
* * * * *
~Pages 83 to 184.~
~Part Second.--THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS for the use of the Materia
Medica and other agents.~ (Arranged alphabetically under the titles
of the various Pathologic Conditions.)
THIS PART SUMMARIZES in brief form, the principal means of
treatment for each form of disease, as reported to be in good use with
practitioners at the present time. The statements hereon are drawn from
the standard works of the leading modern writers on Therapeutics, and
supplemented--in the case of definite chemicals of more recent
introduction--by the reports of reputable clinical investigators.
* * * * *
~Pages 185 to 192.~
~Part Third.--CLASSIFICATION OF MEDICAMENTS according to their
Physiologic Actions.~ (Arranged alphabetically under the titles of
the Actions.)
THIS PART RECAPITULATES, for ready survey, such statements as
are already given in "PART I," as to the modes of action of
the various medicaments.

_~When in immediate need~_
of Drugs or Chemicals not at hand, any pharmacist is in a position to
use our EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, which is in operation every day in the
year, Sundays and Holidays included, until 9 p.m.--Hurry orders
reaching us after regular business hours will receive prompt
attention,--_provided_:
1--_that they come by_ WIRE;
2--_that they call for_ MERCK'S _chemicals or drugs_ (no other brands
being in stock with us);
3--_and that the quantity and nature of the goods admit of their being
sent through the_ MAILS.
As it is impossible for us to ascertain in each instance the identity
of a Physician who might wish to make use of this department, we must
insist (for the proper protection of the Profession against the
unauthorized purchase of poisons, etc.; as well as in due recognition,
by us, of the established usage in the traffic with medicines and
drugs) that every such order be transmitted through an established
Pharmacist; and pharmacists, when telegraphing orders to us, should
always mention their jobber to whom the article is to be charged.
We trust that this Department will prove of value in cases of emergency
and immediate need.

~MERCK'S ARCHIVES~
OF
~The Materia Medica and its Uses~
A JOURNAL FOR THE PRACTICING PHYSICIAN
~PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY MERCK & Co., NEW YORK~
* * * * *
~General Scope of Contents.~
[N.B.--This "General Scope" is not to be understood to state certain
standing divisions or chapter heads for the contents of the journal;
but rather to denote the character of the various classes of matter to
be treated of.]
~"ORIGINAL RESEARCH"~--comprising Papers, Lectures, or Reports by
reputable investigators on the results of experiments and collective
trials, regarding the physiological actions and curative properties of
Drugs, and the manner of their therapeutic Employment.
~"ADVANCE IN MATERIA MEDICA"~--being Condensed Reports, freshly
compiled each month, on the latest advances in Medicinal Agents and in
Methods of applying them--embracing the discoveries of New Remedies,
and of New Uses of the older ones.
~"THE JOURNALS"~--a collection of noteworthy expressions of
Medical Opinion on recent questions relating to Drugs and their Uses,
as culled from the latest American and foreign journals.
~"THE PRESCRIPTION"~--a chapter of special interest and direct
usefulness to the general practitioner--containing in each number a
series of selected Formulas; and, occasionally, criticisms on
Prescription Errors; information and suggestions on Incompatibilities
and other Prescription Difficulties; what should be prescribed in Solid
and what in Liquid form; the Regulation of General Dosage, in such
various forms as: gargles, eye-washes, urethral injections, vaginal
injections, medicated baths; as well as of Dosage by Age in enemas,
suppositories, hypodermics, etc.
Besides the above, the journal will contain such minor but serviceable
matters as: "QUERIES AND ANSWERS;" "NOTES AND HINTS;" "PROFESSIONAL
NEWS," etc.
_"MERCK'S ARCHIVES" does not profess to "do everything;" but it aims
to do One Thing thoroughly,--to offer the practitioner new and valuable
information on the Materia Medica and its recent developments._
_"MERCK'S ARCHIVES" will lay before the practitioner the results of
the Thought and Work of others on Drugs and their Uses, in such form as
to be most directly serviceable to him._
_The Condensed Reports on "Advance in Materia Medica" will give
enough of the theoretical reasoning and clinical experience of the
original authors, to make clear the value of their conclusions._
_The Papers, etc., of "Original Research" will be only such as
combine relative brevity with practical usefulness. At the same time
they will be of such high character as to invite the attention of him
also who reads from purely scientific interest._
_The Selections from the world's medical Periodic Literature will be
taken solely with a view to their suggestive value to the physician
regarding remedial agents and their applications._
_The significance of the other matters in "MERCK'S ARCHIVES" is
evident from their description in the preceding synopsis of contents;
while their presentation will likewise be in full accord with the
principles indicated above:--Practical Usefulness; Scientific
Exactness; Ethical Dignity; Palatable and Readily Digestible Form._
