the United States for the Southern 
District of New York. PREFATORY NOTE. 
This little Dictionary is intended to serve 
as a pocket companion to the student at- 
tending medical lectures, but by no means 
as a substitute for the large works of the 
same kind. It has been prepared at the sug- 
gestion and request of a gentleman who has 
abundant facilities for knowing the wants 
of our students. 
The standard dictionaries of medical 
science have been carefully and freely con- 
sulted; but Fowler's Medical Vocabulary, 
London, 1860, has been made the basis of 
the work. Some new words and terms in 
authorized use have been added, while very 
many disused ones, which seemed merely to 
increase the number of pages without aug- 
menting the value of a dictionary, have been 
omitted. It has been the endeavor of the 
compiler, to bring the definitions fully up to 
the present stage of medical knowledge, and 
to make them as short as was consistent with 
clearness of expression. 
In order to aid in pronunciation, the words 
have been divided into syllables and ac- 
centuated. Words in Italics are such as

of others. Definitions in Italics are the

ADVERTISEMENT TO THE SECOND 
EDITION. 
The large and continued sale of this little 
work, the many notes of commendation re- 
ceived from eminent medical teachers, have 
been gratifying evidence to the author that 
he did a useful, if humble, work in prepar- 
ing the Vest-Pocket Medical Lexicon. 
Some needful corrections have been made in 
the body of the work, while additional words 
have been placed in the Appendix. The 
French system of weights and measures has 
also been added.

ZPre script ion "Waiting. 
De. Dunglison in his great Dictionary 
remarks of Prescriptions: " A prescription 
should be as simple as possible, and should 
bear upon its face, the objects to be fulfilled 
by it. No article should form a part of it, 
unless adapted for some useful purpose. A 
compound prescription has been divided into 
four parts: the basis, or principal ingredient 
of the prescription; the adjuvans, or that 
which is designed to promote the action of 
the former; the cor rigens, or that intended 
to correct its operation, or obviate any un- 
pleasant symptom which it is apt to pro- 
duce ; and the constituens, eatcipiens, or 
vehieulwm, constituent, excipient, or vehi- 
cle, the substance which gives to the other 
ingredients consistence or form." Example:

In the United States the directions for the 
patient are usually written in English, while 
those for the apothecary who makes up the 
prescription, should be in Latin. The Roman 
numerals i ij iij iv. v. etc., are generally 
employed, although the Arabic 1, 2, 8, 4, 
&c., are sometimes used. The substance 
employed should always be in the genitive 
case, while the quantity is in the accusative. 
Abbreviations are, however, usually used 
for the former, and Symbols for the latter. 
An example of an unabbreviated prescrip- 
tion is here given:

259 POISONS AND THEIR 
ANTIDOTES. 
Acn> Hydrocyanic. The remedies for poi- 
soning by this agent consist chiefly in the ex- 
hibition of stimulants. Vapor of ammonia 
is recommended; chlorine, either in the form 
of vapor, or taken internally, is also advised. 
The hypochlorite of lime or of soda may be 
acted upon by dilute hydrochloric or acetic 
acid, in order to obtain the vapor. Cold af- 
fusion, artificial respiration, stimulating in- 
jections. 
Acid Hydrochloric. Chalk or calcined 
magnesia, or a dilute solution of an alkaline 
carbonate, milk, white of egg, oil, or demul- 
cents of any kind. The alkaline carbonates 
are themselves poisonous in large quanti- 
ties. Large draughts of tepid water or 
demulcent fluid should follow the antidote. 
Acid Sulphuric. Same as above. 
260 POISONS. 
Acid Oxalic. Powdered chalk, magnesia 
or its carbonate, suspended in water or milk. 
An emetic, if free vomiting is not induced by 
the above means. The alkaline carbonates 
form soluble poisonous salts with oxalic acid, 
and cannot therefore be used as antidotes in 
this kind of poisoning. 
Acid Phosphoeio. Magnesia, emetics, and 
emollient drinks. 
Alcohol. The stomach-pump, cold affu- 
sion, ammonia. 
Chloroform, Ethbe. Cold affusion on the 
head and neck, ammonia to the nostrils, ar- 
tificial respiration, electricity, opening the 
trachea. 
Alkalies-Ammonia, Potash, Soda. Weak 
acids, as vinegar and water, following by 
acidulated demulcent drinks, olive oil in 
large quantities, large draughts of milk. In 
poisoning by the vapor of ammonia, the in- 
halation of the vapor of acetic or of dilute 
hydrochloric acid. 
Iodine, Iodide of Potassium. Emetics 
and starchy fluids, gruel, arrow-root, starch, 
etc. 
Irritant Gases-Carbonic Acid, Chlor- 
ine, Nitrous Acid, Hydrochloric Acid. 
Pure air, inhalation of ammonia, ether, or the 
vapor of warm water. 
Mad Dogs, Bites of. Cauterization of the 
wound with nitrate of silver. 
261 POISONS. 
METALLIC POISON'S. 
Arsenic. An emetic, stomach-pump ; sul 
phate of zinc or of copper may be used as an 
emetic, or powdered mustard, or a mixture 
of salt and water ; or vomiting may be in- 
duced by tickling the throat with a feather. 
The vomiting should be assisted by demul- 
cent drinks. If the poison has passed into 
the bowels, castor oil. 
Hydrated sesquioxide of iron, prepared by 
precipitating the muriated tincture by an 
excess of ammonia, collecting the precipitate 
on a muslin strainer, and washing it with 
water until it no longer emits the odor of 
ammonia. 
Antimony. Vomiting to be promoted by 
tepid waters; any astringent infusion, such 
as tea, oak-bark, tannin ; afterwards opiates, 
warm bath, and mustard poultices. 
Baryta, Salts or. Stomach pump or 
emetics, sulphate of magnesia or soda. 
Copper. Demulcent fluids to induce vom- 
iting, stomach pump, albumen in large excess, 
e. g., white of egg, milk, iron filings, calcined 
magnesia. 
Iron. Carbonate of soda, mucilaginous 
drinks. 
Lead, Acetate of. Emetic of sulphate 
of zinc; follow its action by large draughts 
of milk containing white of egg. 
262 POISONS. 
A solution of sulphate of magnesia or of 
soda ; hydrated sesquisulphuret of iron. 
Mercury, Corrosive Sublimate. Albu- 
men in the form of white of an egg, followed 
if necessary by an emetic. The white of one 
egg neutralizes four grains of the poison. 
VEGETABLE POISONS. 
Aconite. Thorough evacuation of the 
stomach either by an emetic or the stomach 
pump; stimulants, such as ammonia and 
brandy, and the use of stimulating injections ; 
free administration of finely powdered an- 
imal charcoal, vegetable infusions containing 
tannic acid, and a solution of iodine in iodide 
of potassium. Tincture of nux vomica has 
been given with success. 
Atropine. An emetic or the use of sto- 
mach pump; morphine administered by the 
mouth or by subcutaneous injection. 
Datubine. Same as in poisoning by atro- 
pine. 
Hellebore. Emesis and subsequent stim- 
ulation. Opium has been found useful. 
Hemlock. Emesis and subsequent exhi- 
bition of stimulants. 
Nicotine. Same as above. 
Opium. Any portions of the unabsorbed 
poison should be quickly removed from the 
stomach. The stomach pump will be most 
efficient, or an emetic of gr. xx. or gr. xxx. 
263 POISONS. 
sulphate of zinc, or about gr. x. of Sulphate 
of copper may be administered. If neither 
of these is at hand, powdered mustard or 
a solution of common salt should be freely 
administered; the patient should be kept 
thoroughly aroused. Flagellations with wet 
cloths, walking the patient about, dashing 
of cold water over head and chest may be 
employed for this purpose. A current of elec- 
tricity applied to the spine and chest is the 
best method of preventing insensibility. 
Belladonna is recommended as an antidote. 
Strychnine. An emetic or use of the sto- 
mach pump, internal use of chloroform and 
by inhalation ; tannic acid, 25 parts of tannin 
to one part of strychnine ; solution of iodine 
in iodide of potassium, chlorine, bromine, 
animal charcoal, camphor and lard or fat, 
nicotine.

275 THE METRIC SYSTEM OF MEASURES OF LENGTH, 
CAPACITY, AND WEIGHT. 
Tns unit of the decimal or metrical sys- 
tem of measure of length is the metre 
(37.371 inch), and is intended to he the ten- 
millionth part of the distance from the Equa- 
tor to the North Pole. 
The unit of the measure of capacity is the 
litre (2.1135 pints), and is obtained by taking 
the cube of one-tenth of a metre (i. e.. of a 
decimetre). 
The unit of weight is the gramme (15.484 
grains), and is obtained by taking one-thou- 
sandth part of the weight of water (at 39'2 
E.) contained in the litre (cubic decimetre). 
The decimal sub-divisions of the metre, 
litre, and gramme are expressed by the Latin 
prefixes, deci, centi, milli, etc., while the 
decimal multiples are expressed by the 
Greek prefixes, deca, hecto, kilo, etc.

277 SECOND REVISED AND ENLARGED EDITION. 
A TREATISE 
ON THE 
DISEASES OF THE EAR, 
INCLUDING THE 
ANATOMY OF THE ORGAN. 
BY 
ANTON VON TROLTSCH, M.D., 
Professor in the University of Wurzburg, 
Translated from the fourth German edition, 
and edited by 
D. B. ST. JOHN ROOSA, M.D., 
Clinical Professor of the Diseases of the Eye and Ear, in 
the University of New York, Surgeon to the 
Brooklyn Eye and Ear Hospital, etc. 
The Publishers beg to state that this is es- 
sentially a new work, although a second 
edition. It has been thoroughly revised and 
greatly enlarged by the author. The editor 
has inserted numerous illustrative cases, and 
several new engravings have been added. 
The size of the volume has thus been more 
than doubled, and it is hoped that it will be 
found to be a treatise on the diseases and 
anatomy of the Ear fully abreast with the 
modern views of aural medicine and surgery. 
In one handsome octavo volume of about 
600 "pages, bound in extra muslin, $4.50, 
and in leather, $5.50.

firmary, Physician to the New York Hospi- 
tal, etc., and D. B. St. John Roosa, M.D., 
Clinical Professor of the Diseases of the Eye 
and Ear in the Medical Department of the

279 ADVERTISEMENT. 
completely exhausted in a little more than 
three months from the day of publication, the 
Second Edition is now ready. The very 
rapid sale of the work, as well as the care 
required in preparing the chromo-lithograph- 
ic plates, which are made in Vienna, have 
prevented the second edition from immedi- 
ately following the completion of the first. 
In one, handsome octavo volume, bound 
in extra muslin, $7.00. In leather, $8.00.
