Excerpt from Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics: With Special Reference to the Rational Application to Remedial Measures to Dental Diseases, a Text Book for Students and Practitioners The complete exhaustion of the Fourth Edition of "Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics" within less than one year after its publication again has necessitated a revision of its text. The recently published Ninth Decennial Revision of the United States Pharmacopeia contains numerous important changes relative to average doses of drugs and also the addition of a number of valuable compounds of special interest to the dental practitioner. These changes have been duly considered in this present revision of the text. The writer is gratified to know that the suggestions which he made in his report as Chairman of the Committee Revision of the United States Pharmacopeia, Section of Stomatology, American Medical Association, have been found worthy of consideration by the general committee and have been duly added to the text of the present Pharmacopeia. These newly added drugs of special interest to the dental practitioner are: Cotarin hydrochlorid, nitrogen monoxid, oxygen, paraformaldehyd, beta-eucain hydrochlorid and sodium perborate. To facilitate the ready location of drugs according to their therapeutic uses a properly classified index of drugs has been added so as to assist the practitioner in the quick selection of a suitable remedy when needed. The article on Electro-Sterilization (Ionic Medication) has been completely rewritten; about twenty new illustrations have been added and numerous minor changes have been found necessary so as to harmonize the text with the latest achievements in dental materia medica and therapeutics.
