Excerpt from The Actions of Drugs: A Course of Elementary Lectures for Students of Pharmacy
Scope of the Lectures - The following lectures will treat of the medical subjects a knowledge of which is essential to the professional pharmacist. This means a knowledge of the medical actions, uses and doses of drugs; and of the symptoms and treatment of poisoning.
We are confronted at the outset with the question of how much it is necessary or profitable for the pharmacist to know in this direction. In the medical schools, over 200 hours are devoted to these topics. The medical student, in order that he may understand these subjects thoroughly, must have pursued studies in anatomy, physiology and pathology for nearly two years; and before being able to apply the knowledge, the student is required to Spend another two years or more in the study of disease.
This long study is considered by all those capable of judging as absolutely essential to the safety of the public. Any one who undertakes to treat disease with a lesser course of preparation faces serious legal com plications, and even more grave moral responsibilities.
