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 tlte most frequently needed researches is approximately indicated below :
Sptitum, 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

CHEMICALS AND DRUGS USUAL IN MODERN MEDICAL PRACTICE
Compiled from the Most Recent A uthoritative Sources and Published by MERCK & CO., NEW YORK
This facsimile of the first edition of The Merck Manual, published as Merck's 1 899 Manual, has been produced in celebra- tion of the 100th anniversary of this not-for- profit publication. The Merck Manual has been continuously published longer than any other general textbook of medicine in the English language.
We hope that you enjoy revisiting medical history through this facsimile edi- tion. It illustrates the enormous advances in medical knowledge and practice that have taken place over the past 100 years.

TV /T ERCK'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 re- minder 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 alpha- betic series, of the entire Materia Medica to-day in general use by the American profession. Part 11 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 Part First.— THE MATERIA MEDICA, as in actual
9 to 82. use to-day by American Physicians. (Alpha-
betically 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 Pre- parations recognized by the United States Pharmacopceia.
(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 sufBcient completeness or exactness to satisfy all members of the Profession. In the selection the pub- lishers have been guided solely by the recognition accorded the var- ious preparations by the Profession, according to the best informa- tion 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 con- valescent.
Omitted from the Materia Medica chapter are: Medica- ments 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
6
mother-substances, to proximate principles (alkaloids, glucos- ides, organic acids, etc.), and to chemical compounds (salts, "synthetics," etc.); while the official galenic preparations, solutions and dilutions, derived from them, are mostly men- tioned 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, griims, and some others of the older drugs and preparations which are so long and veil 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 desig^n&ted).
Pages Part Second.— THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS for
83 to 1 84. 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 Part Third.— CLASSIFICATION OF MEDICA-
1 85 to 1 92. MENTS according to their Physiologic Actions.
(Arranged alphabetically under the titles of the
Actions.)
This part recapitulates, tor ready survey, such state- ments as are already given in " Part I," as to the modes of action of the various medicaments.
