For [followed by a blank space] and at the bottom Date [followed by a blank space] and [Preceded by a blank space] M. D. There is a small Rx illustration in the upper left corner. There is what appears to be a description of a medicine but perhaps it was a note for an over the counter item as the slip is with the patient's name, date, or name of the prescribing physician. L. S. Williams was a noted local Baltimore pharmacist who in the early 1900s held leadership positions in local pharmacist organizations. The company produced is own medicine bottles, some of which may still be available in the collectibles market. This type of single prescription slip of approximately a century in age is an extremely rare piece of ephemera. It is associated with an well-known and established firm and is associated with the largest city in the State of Maryland. A prescription, often abbreviated Rx, is a formal communication from a physician or other registered health-care professional to a pharmacist, authorizing them to dispense a specific prescription drug for a specific patient. Historically, it was a physician's instruction to an apothecary listing the materials to be compounded into a treatmentâ"the symbol (a capital letter R, crossed to indicate abbreviation) comes from the first word of a medieval prescription, Latin: Recipere (Take thou), that gave the list of the materials to be compounded. The word "prescription", from "pre-" ("before") and "script" ("writing, written"), refers to the fact that the prescription is an order that must be written down before a drug can be dispensed. Those within the industry will often call prescriptions simply "scripts". The idea of prescriptions dates back to the beginning of history. So long as there were medications and a writing system to capture directions for preparation and usage, there were prescriptions. Modern prescriptions are actually extemporaneous prescriptions (from the Latin ex tempore, "at/from the time"), meaning that the prescription is written on the spot for a specific patient with a specific ailment. This is distinguished from a non-extemporaneous prescription that is a generic recipe for a general ailment. Modern prescriptions evolved with the separation of the role of the pharmacists from that of the physician. Single sheet, printed on one side Presumed First Edition, one of multiple printings. …

Leather Bound. First Irish Edition. pp. [10], xiii, 508. 8vo., measuring 5" x 8". An attractive copy rebound in tasteful period-style, quarter, tan-leather over plain gray boards, gilt rules and lettering over maroon spine label; five blind-stamped rules, six compartments. Complete with both copper-engraved plates present, as called for in Sabine; the first depicting "The Falls of St. Anthony", and, the second, illustrating Indigenous weapons of war, and an Indigenous peace pipe. Lacking the map which has been neatly excised. Light edgewear, expected faint occasional foxing, circular mark to the upper-margin of pages 41-45 (entirely unaffecting legibilty of the text), otherwise, text-block remains overwhelmingly bright, clean, and unmarked with firm, sound binding. Originally published by Walter & Crowder, 1778., our offering is the Second Edition, and the First Irish Edition of this enormously popular work of travel and exploration, and which would see over thirty separate iterations printed in the ensuing years. Sabine 11184 (pp. 382); Howes C-215. Setting out from present-day Mackinaw City, Michigan in the spring of 1766 with the intention of discovering the long-sought North-West Passage, Carver's work is a most remarkable recounting of the author's expedition deep into the heart of North America, complete with vivid descriptions of the natural landscapes, the rivers and falls, and the myriad natural resources ripe for exploitation with references to rich deposits of metals, furs, and lumber; with a further exposition of the potential "probability of the Interior Parts of North America becoming commercial Colonies", and the "means by which this might be effected", a "Dissertation on the Discovery of the North-West Passage", and "The most certain way of attaining it". Indeed, it has also been posited that it is one of the first works, if not the first, to make reference to the Rocky Mountains. Moreover, it would serve as an indispensable, early, written account, of European contact with the Indigenous inhabitants of North America. Indeed, Carver's book would and does serve as a rich source of a European's observations of the numerous Indigenous groups he would encounter on his travels including vital anthropological accounts of their customs as recorded in: "Manners, Qualifications, of the Indians", "Peculiar Customs of the [Indigenous] women", "The Circumspect and Stoical Disposition of the Men", "The Liberality of the Indians, and their Opinion Respecting Money", "Their Method of Reckoning Time, etc., and the names by which they distinguish the Months", "Their Idea of the Use of Figures", "Of Their Government", "Their Division of Tribes", "The Chiefs of their Bands", "Of their Feasts", "Their Usual Foods", "Their Manner of Dressing and Eating their Victuals", and much, much else. A remarkable travelogue, indeed.…
