TABLE OF REMEDIES.

In this table I have affixed to the remedies figures designating the dilutions or the attenuations, at which, under ordinary circumstances, I would advise their use. The strongest, or mother tinctures, marked with an apha (0), the dilutions or triturations to be of the decimal degrees of attenuation, are marked 1, 2, 3, &c., to designate that they are to be used at 1-10th, 1-100th, 1-1000th, &c., the strength of the pure drugs.

The list for a full FAMILY CASE contains all the remedies recommended in this book for diseases that may be safely trusted to unprofessional hands.

The TRAVELER'S CASE needs only such medicines as are prescribed for the diseases which he would be most liable to contract on his journey; though I have put in the principal ones used in domestic practice, so that the Case will do for family use.

The CHOLERA CASE is only supplied with such remedies as are particularly applicable to that disease; useful, however, for many other complaints.
