Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1864, by J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO. in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. PREFACE. THE present work is designed to supply a want which has long been felt by those commencing the study of medicine and the collateral sciences. An acquaintance with the dead languages, or at least with Latin, was formerly, and in some parts of Europe is still, considered absolutely necessary for a graduate in medicine as well as in the other learned professions. Although in the United States a classical education is not made an indispensable condition for conferring a medical degree, yet, so long as the great majority of professional terms are in Latin, some knowledge of this language may be said to be absolutely requisite for the medical student. The fact that multitudes of our young men commence the study of medicine without any previous acquaintance with Latin or Greek, renders it important that the elementary works intended for the use of students should be adapted to meet this exigency. To supply the want above indicated has been one of the chief objects of the present work. In fulfilling this object, the editor has aimed,First: to give a full explanation of the etymology of the various words defined in the Dictionary. The importance of etymology in furnishing, as it generally does, a sure clue to the true signification of scientific terms; in limiting and fixing their meaning, thus guarding against looseness or vagueness of application; and lastly, and not least, in assisting the memory of the learner, iii iPREFACE. since, by acquiring a knowledge of a comparatively few elements or roots, he is thus enabled to determine the signification of a multitude of compound words,-can scarcely be overestimated. It is admitted, indeed, that terms not unfrequently occur of which it is difficult or impossible to give an entirely satisfactory etymology. In a few of the most doubtful cases of this kind, it has been deemed best to make no attempt to explain the derivation, since an etymology which is purely fanciful or speculative, seems far more likely to mislead or perplex than to instruct the student. It may be proper to add that, in fulfilling this important part of his task, the editor has not been content with merely following the generally received authorities in etymology, but has made it a rule, in every case of doubt or uncertainty, to examine the subject anew, and particularly to consult the best classical and modern (foreign) dictionaries upon the point in question. Secondly: to give, whenever practicable, a literal translation of the various Latin phrases, sentences, etc. occurring in the work: such, for example, as L'xtlensor Digitorunu Commrunis, fotoles Oculorumn, ITyclrargyrumn cunza CGreat, etc. etc. The importance of such explanations in giving clear and definite ideas to those who may be unacquainted with the Latin tongue, is too obvious to require to be enlarged upon. For an explanation of some of the most important elements and principles of the Latin language, designed chiefly for those who have not had the advantage of a classical education, the reader is referred to the Appendix, page 660. Connected with, and immediately following, this portion of the work, will be found rules and directions for the writing of Latin prescriptions. Another feature in the work, and one which it is hoped will prove of great practical importance, is the pronunciation of the various terms given in the Dictionary. What correct spelling is to the writer, correct pronunciation is to the speaker. If either should be wholly neglected, the most perfect language would soon become a babel, and fall into utter corruption. Every one who takes the trouble to reflect on the subject must be aware that if it were not for the constant effort or aim to conform our speech to a' common standard, the language which we call English would in the course of a few years be spoken so differently in different parts PREFACE. V of the world, as to be with difficulty understood, and in two or three centuries it would, in all probability, become wholly unintelligible, except to those few who might happen to be familiar with the local dialect. He, therefore, who is willing to take the pains to speak correctly, not only acquires an accomplishment which will raise him in the estimation of all educated men, but he contributes his portion towards exalting and extending the incalculable blessings which language, the great vehicle of thought and knowledge, is capable of conferring on mankind. The various terms employed in medicine may be divided into two principal classes. The first class consists of those which are properly English or have an Anglicized termination, whether derived from the Saxon, as, Blood, Forearm, Niqhtmzare, Rickets, etc.; from the French, as,- Bandage, Viable, etc.; from the Latin, as, Abdominal (from abdominalis), Abortion (from abortio), Astringent (from astringens), Ferruginous (from ferruginosus), etc.; or from the Greek, as, Apoplexy (from -arc2l{a), Airtery (from aprzpe'a), Asthmatic (from iarO,larex0,S), etc. The second class comprises all such terms as are Latin or Latinized Greek, as, Abdomen, Amaurosis, Ammonia, Asthma, Cerebrum, Laryngitis, (Esophagus, Sternum, Vertebra, etc. etc. The pronunciation of the former class of words is attended with no particular difficulty. Those of the second class, however, though usually very easy with respect to the accentuation, and perfectly uniform as to the sounds of the consonants, present a very serious difficulty in regard to the pronunciation of the vowels. At the University of Oxford in England, and at Harvard in the United States, it is the usage to pronounce all Latin words with the English sounds of the vowels: for example, a when long (as the second a in ama're, ama'bam, arma'tum) has the same sound as our a in fate (never like a in far); long i is pronounced as in pine; and so on. But many of the institutions of learning in this country have adopted what is termed the " continental" pronunciation, according to which, the vowels are pronounced, not after the English sound, but according to that of the languages of Continental Europe. As, however, there is some diversity respecting the vowel sounds of the different European tongues, the vi PREFACE. Italian, which of all the modern languages is perhaps most nearly related to the Latin, has generally been adopted as the standard. According to this system, a should be sounded nearly like a in far, e as in there, or like a in fate, i as in ma'rine, or like e in mete, u like oo, and y like i, that is, like our e. In some portions of our country, particularly in the Middle States, there unfortunately prevails a third system, consisting of a sort of mixture of the other two already described. According to this system,-if such it may be called, —the vowel a is sounded as infast or fat (never as in fate); i, when long, is usually pronounced as in pine, though sometimes as in marine; all the other vowels being uniformly sounded as in English. The improper diphthong ae, which in every other modern language corresponds in sound either exactly or very nearly to e,* is on this system sounded like our a in fate. As may readily be imagined, these three different systems existing together in the same country, have had the effect to introduce almost unlimited confusion into the pronunciation of Latin words. Those who aim at correctness or propriety in speaking should, we think, adopt either the Oxford pronunciation or the continental; and whichever they adopt should be carried out consistently. It is greatly to be desired, however, that solme common standard of Latin pronunciation might be fixed upon for the whole United States: it would be of immense advantage even were its application limited to scientific terms and phrases. Under the existing state of things, the editor has not felt justified in attempting to lay down any positive rules for the pronunciation of the vowels occurring in.Latin terms. He has, accordingly, for the most part confined his labors in regard to this class of words, to marking the accent and syllabication, and to indicating such vowel sounds (e.g. short i and short y) as are essentially the same whether they are pronounced according to the continental or * That is, to the sound of e in the respective languages; c in French being equivalent to the French 6, os in Spanishi to the Spanish e, and so with the rest. To sound cc differently from e tends to great confusion, inasmuch as a multitude of words are now written almost indifferently with the diphthong or the vowel: as, Edile or Edile, Etiology or Etiology, etc. However such words may be.written, the pronunciation ought, unquestionably, to remain the same. PREFACE. vii the English mode. The most important point of all is the accent, which can, for the most part, be readily ascertained, and, depending as it does upon the quantity* (not on the quality) of the vowels, remains the same under all the different systems and in all the various tongues of the world. The principal rules for Latin accentuation are the following:RULE 1.-In trisyllables or polysyllables, if the penultima be long, the accent must fall upon it: as, Abdo'ren, Coni'um, Duode'num, Porri'go, Scapula'ris, etc. RULE 2.-If the penultima be short, the accent must fall on the antepenultima: as, A9'idcurw, Abdom'in'is, Antima, Assafoet'ida, Chimmaph'ila, Cirnicif'uga, Hydroceph'alus, Polyg'cala, etc. RULE 3. —Dissyllables always take the accent on the penultima; as, A'cor, Co'ma, Li'quor, &c. It may be observed that whenever the accent of a Latin word falls on the antepenultimate vowel followed immediately by a single consonant, the accent is usually placed after the consonant, and the vowel is made what in English we term "short." (See examples under Rule Second.) Accordingly, we pronounce Abdominis —abdom'inis, Assafcetida-assafet'ida, etc., although in both of these instances the penultimate syllable is long in Latin.t The only important exception to this rule occurs in words having u for the antepenultimate vowel; as, Alu'mina, Sulphu'ricus, etc., in which case the accent should always be placed before the consonant, the vowel retaining its full or long sound.t It has until recently been the almost universal usage among * The quantity is determined chiefly by the usage of the Latin poets, and certain recognized rules of derivation. t It is very important to bear in mind the essential difference between a long vowel in English and a long vowel in Latin or Greek. In the former case the word "long" refers to the qcality of the vowel, in the latter always to the qzantity, The pronunciation of a long vowel in Latin or Greek is estimated to occupy just twice as much time as is spent in uttering a short vowel. In the present work, however, when the term "long" is employed in reference to the pronunciation of a word, it is to be understood in the English sense, if the contrary be not distinctly stated.' The plural of Greek nouns in -oma are, by common usage, excepted: as, aro/matao (from aro'ma), not arom'ata. If the penultirna be a vowel followed immediately by another vowel, the antepenultimate syllable'is usually made long: as, am-mo/ni-a, ci-ne're-us. V111 PREFACE. classical scholars to pronounce the ancient Greek (like the Latin) according to the quantity of the vowels; but within a few years some institutions of learning of the highest character, both in Europe and in this country, have adopted the modern Greek accentuation; that is, they pronounce according to the Greek accent, without the slightest reference to quantity. For example, ~opEa ("wisdom"), and c2/fzxpadov (the "elbow"), formerly called so'fe-a and o-le-kra'non, would, according to the new mode, be pronounced so-fee'a and o-lek'ra-non. How far this new system should affect our pronunciation of Latinized terms derived from the Greek may be considered an open question.* As already intirnated; the accent is the chief, if not the sole, point in Latin pronunciation about which there is no dispute among the learned. It has accordingly come to be regarded as one of the essential tests by which a finished scholar may be known, Our readers need scarcely be reminded that many Latin phrases and sentences have become, so to speak, parts of our own * While it must be admitted that all, or nearly all, the best English authorities on classical pronunciation recognize no other principle than quantity for the accentuation of this class of words, it may be observed that in Italian and Spanish, —languages much more nearly related to the Latin than ours,words and names derived from the Greek almost invariably follow the accentuation of the original, while those of Latin derivation are as uniformly accentuated according to the quantity of their Latin primitives. Not only is the name Sofia (from the Greek aoOia, whence our Sopkhia) pronounced so-fee/a (though in Greek the penultima is short), and its derivative filosofia ("philosophy") fe-lo-so-fee'a, but the numerous class of Italian and Spanish words ending in -graqfia (Greek -ypaoia), and -logia (Greek -Xoyia) always have, like the Greek, the accent on the penultima, although this is invariably short in the Greek; as cosmografjic (cosmography), geogrqcfla (geography), ortografi'a (orthography), &c.; and analogi'a (analogy), filologi'a (philology), etc. etc. Insania, takes the antepenultimate accent, because the penultima of the Latin (insania) is short; while mania, with the same termination, has the penultimate accent (ma-nee/a.), simply because the Greek (,uavia) is so accented - The remark made above, that words in Italian and Spanish derived from the Latin follow the Latin quantity, while those from the Greek conform to the Greek accentuation, should of course. be limited to such as have not become materially changed or corrupted. It will be seen that in the examples above cited no change has taken place, except substituting f for ~, whica does not in the slightest degree affect the pronunciation. PREFACE. ix language. He, therefore, who aspires to the character of a correct and polished speaker, cannot, without serious danger to his reputation, neglect this important branch of orthoepy. It is true that a very few words of Latin origin (as Atu'dilor, Or'ator, Sen'ator,* etc.) have, on becoming Anglicized, without any change in the spelling, lost the original penultimate accent. But the large majority of Anglicized words retain the classical accentuation, as Acu'men, Albu'mnen, Aro'ma, Cogno' men, Deco'rum, Dicta'or, Fari'Zna, Farra'go, IHori'zon, Shali'va, Spcctla'tor, etc., all of which have resisted the general tendency of our language, which is to throw the accent on the antepenultima in such words: indeed, we not unfrequently hear uneducated people say, Ar'oma, Cog'nomzen, Sal'iva, etc. If, then, Anglicized Latin words, which are in everybody's mouth, are generally pronounced according to the original accentuation, scientific terms ought unquestionably to.be always so pronaunaed. Thie pi1naiploa ia, i dclled. fu11r s4a6fiizoa, in the eooAntllations given in the last edition of our Pharmacopceia, in which, we believe, not a single instance occurs of a Latin name that does not conform to the classical pronunciation; although, if English analogy were allowed to have any influence, we should scarcely pronounce Coni'um, lMati'co, etc., with the accent on the penultima. Of such Latin words as were used by the ancients, there is generally no difficulty in determining the accentuation. But the case is different with respect to Latin terms (consisting chiefly of botanical and other scientific names) of modern origin. Among these there are a number of which the etymology is obscure or uncertain, and the accentuation is, in consequence, more or less doubtful. In such cases, the editor has not only sought to avail himself of the light which general analogy might shed upon the point in question, but he has carefully consulted all the best works accessible to him, relating to such subjects. Among these he would express his particular obligations to GRAY'S " Manual of Botany," MAYNE'S " Expository Lexicon," WITTSTEIN'S " Etymologisch-Botanisches Worterbuch," and, above all, to DUNGLISON'S " Medical Dictionary," which in relation to these difficult questions *Anemo'ne, when used as an English word, is always pronounced anem'one. X PREFACE. exhibits a degree of accuracy, as well as judgment, unsurpassed, if not unequalled, among scientific works of reference. Those who take a particular interest in such subjects are referred to the "Table of Disputed Pronunciations" (see Appendix, pp. 698-9), containing a list of the most important terms occurring in medical works, respecting the accentuation of which there is a difference among the best orthoepical authorities.* Respecting the plan of the Dictionary, it may be observed that immediately after the term itself, if this be English, is inserted the Latin synonym, then the etymology, both being enclosed in brackets. If the term be Latin, it is immediately followed by the etymology, enclosed in brackets. (Compare Ablactation, Apoplexy, Artery; also, Abdomen, Ablepsia, etc.) The French synonyms of important medical terms are also given, excepting such as are essentially the same as the English or Latin: for example, Ablactcation (" ablactation'), Bandage (a "bandage"), Uterus (the "uterus"), etc.; or such as differ only very slightly, as. Apoplexie (" apoplexy"), Artdre (" artery"), I-elpatite (" hepatitis"), (Esophage (" cesophagus"), etc. As these would, for the most part, be readily understood without a dictionary, they have generally been omitted. By adopting this plan, the attention of the student is particularly directed to those French terms which it is most important for him to acquire; that is, to such as are essentially different from the Latin or English, and therefore not likely to be understood unless explained. Of this class of words the following examples may be given: —Ceeur (" heart"), Clou (" clove"), C0ou (" neck"), Afain (" hand"), Eil (" eye"), Pournons ("lungs"), Toux (" cough"), etc. A considerable portion of the Appendix is occupied with the * In speaking of "authorities" in regard to questions of this kind, we do not, of course, allude to those persons, however illustrious, who are merely distinguished for their scientific attainments or for their general learning, but to such only as have paid particular attention to the subject of orthoepy. It is not to be denied that some, who are justly regarded as ornaments of science, either from never having given any attention to such subjects, or from mere carelessness, are most untrustworthy guides in all that relates to correctness of language, whether written or spoken. They seem to forget that thoughts are like jewels: the greater their value, the more important it is that they should be well set, that their beauty may be exhibited to the best advantage. PREFACE. xi "Table of Materia Medica," containing the names of all, or nearly all, the medicinal articles of any importance, arranged according to their medical properties. Such a classification, it is believed, will be found extremely useful, at least to those who have not had time or opportunity to make themselves thoroughly acquainted with the vast resources of our Materia Medica. Besides the articles already mentioned, included in the Appendix, it contains a tolerably complete Table of Doses, prepared with great care. It also contains a synopsis of the respective Nosologies of Cullen and Good. Although at the present time neither of these systems is generally followed, both have exerted great influence upon medical nomenclature, and may, therefore, justly claim some notice at our hands. It was believed that in no other way could an idea be given of them so clearly and so briefly as by means of synoptical tables. Among the multitude of works which the editor has had occasion to consult in the preparation of this Dictionary, justice requires that he should express his great obligations to a few to which he is especially indebted. His acknowledgments are preeminently due to MAYNE'S "Expository Lexicon" (London, 1860); a Dictionary of Medicine, original in its plan, and evincing in its execution much diligence, learning, and research. He would also express his important obligations to GRAY'S " Structural and Systematic Botany," and "Manual of Botany," to which he has generally had recourse as his chief authorities on all questions relating to botanical science. To HOBLYN'S "Medical Dictionary" he is indebted for the matter of a number of articles, particularly those relating to chemistry. The notices of the natural orders of plants and animals have mostly been taken from that justly popular work, BRANDE'S " Encyclopmedia of Science, Literature, and Art." Nor can he omit to mention his great and important obligations to WooD and BACHE'S " United States Dispensatory,' a work which justly ranks among the first of its kind that have ever been published in this or any other country.

Nouns ending in -e usually make the genitive in -es: as, non. aloeS, "aloes;" gen. al'o&s, "of aloes;" nom. tvsos'tiehe, "lmastic;"' gen. i)c.s'tichles, "of mastic:" e.g. pil'ilt al'oes et iats'ticlhes, "pills of aloes and mastic." Words of this class are of Greek origin; they are usually included under the first cleclension in the Latin grammars, probably because they belong to the first Greek declension. Those which have a plural, form it in -a: as, atc'te, a kind of eruption; plural Cct 1t. To this class belong all Latin nouns of Greek origin having the nominative singular in -e: as,Ac'ne. Anetno'ne. Clt'ochlle. Daph'ne. Stat'ice. Aga"'e. Argemno'ne. Cynat'clle. Phlleg'ilone. Sy l'cope; including the compounds of ce'le (Gr. KtXr, a "tumor"), if not Anglicized: as, cerattoce'le, "hernia of the cornea;" hepiatoce'/e, "hernia of the liver," etc. IV. Latin nouns having the genitive in -i, are said to belong to the second declension. They may be divided into two principal classes, those ending in -us and those in -utn. Of the first class the following examples may be given: nora. triyoplhyl'lts, a name of the "clove-tree," also used fir "cloves;" gen. caryophtyl'l, "of the clove-tree," or "of cloves;" nom. liyoscy'ctai ts, "henbane;" gen. hyosey'(tcmi, "of henbane;" nom. hi'minluts, the "hop plant," or "hops;" gen. ]'ttirali, "of hops:" hence the following terms, o'leaunt cuiyo}hyljli, "oil of cloves;" 7lioscy'aini fo'lia, "leaves of hyoscyamus;" iifui'sito hleu'tl idi, "infusion of hops."

These nouns are mostly lmasculine, but a few are feminine (marked f. in the list), consisting chiefly of the names of trees (see page680, -. note). One (vi'rus) is neuter. Those which have a plural, formll the nominative plural by changing -I.t of the nominative sinlular into -i (the samue as the genitive singular), the genitive pluril ending in -o'rmi: e.C/. di'ittl., a "finger;" nomr. pl. cdi/'iti, "fingers," or the "fingers;" gen. pl. digito'rii, "of [the] fingers;" oc'hidis, "eye;" nom. pl. oc'ulli, the "eyes;" gen. pl. octilo'i)t1i1i, "of [the] eyes:" hence the tertis extei'.sor dliito'i uis, "extender of the fingers," applied to a muscle; vmoto'res ocllo'tttzol, "movers of the eyes," the name of a pair of nerves. Of nouns ending in -itit,2 the following may serve as examples: nom. acotni'ttu7ti, "aconite;" gen. aco, i'ti, "of act)nite;" nom. cayeii'ttiun, "silver;" gen. argen'ti, "of silver;" noma. dor'stlimi, the "back;" gert. cdor'si, "of [the] back;" nrom. li'ttiim, "flax;" gen. i',ii, "of flax:" hence we have ocoi't-i fo'lia, "leaves of aconite;" argenz'ti li'tr-as, "nitrate of silver;" lotigidssisitis lo'Csi, the "longest [muscle] of the back;" li/li semh'ita, "seeds of flax" or "flaxseed."

Nouns belonging to the preceding class are of the neuter gender, and form thi nominative plural by changing -ern of the nominative singular into -a, the genitivi 664 EXPLANATION OF LATIN TERMS, PIIRASES, ETC. plural ending in -o'ruml: e.g. bol'neirn, a "bath;" nom. pl. b/l',e, " baths;" gen. pl. batlieo'runm, "of baths;" ob'lilsos, a'leaf;" nom. pl. fo'tia, "leaves;" gen. pl. fblio'nrnn, "of leaves." Nouns of the second declension, whether they end in -uts or -1iu, have the dative and ablative singular in -o, and the dative and ablative plural in -is: e.g. al'ro lds(trsc'tal, "with the bowels bound" (or the "bowels being bound"), or constipated; Jiis'tuloa in o'no, "fistula in the anus;" sol l'tero, "in the uterus;" culn h],ydrar'gyro, "with mercury;" vle'sa de (or ex) hycidrargyro, "mass [prepared] from, or out of, mercury;" oclu'lis, "with [or by means of] the eyes;" Cuoo fo'liis, "with the leaves," etc. -7 It may be remarked that the ablative is often governed by some preposition expressed, such as C or a, " from" or "by;" comn, "with;" de, "from," or "of;" e or ex, "out," or "out of;" ist. "in" or "on," etc. But the preposition is also very frequently olmitted. The foregoing phrases exhibit examples of both kinds. V. Latin nouns which form the genitive in -is, are said to be of the third declension: e.g. nom. ('cee, a "maple-tree;" gen. a'esis, "'of a maple-tree;" nom. &'ther, "ether;" gen. T'tileis, "of ether." Somnetimes, as in the examples just cited, the genitive is formed by simply adding -is to the nominative. Nouns having the nominative in -sna, form the genitive by adding -tis: as, der'sna, der'inaztis.

T'tas (" age"), gen. eeta'tis; nom. albnt'yo (" white of the eye"), gen. atlbt'yini's; nora. atpex (a "point"), gen. upJicis; nom. calx ("lime"), gen. ca'cis. Therefore, in order to avoid any possibility of misunderstanding, in all cases (except those in which the genitive is formed by simply adding -i8 or -tis) in the following list, the genitive has been spelled out in full. The genders, also, have been marked, as it is impossible to lay down any rule by which they could be positively determined. A few general observations, however, respecting genders, may be useful in assisting the memory of the learner. 1. Nouns in -o,' are nearly always masculine: as, abdclc'tor, atldor, ca'lor, coitl'ic'tor, dep/res'sor, la'bor', mo'tor, etc. The only exceptions in the list are ar'bor (a "tree," fem.), and alwr'nlor (" marble," neut.). 2. Nouns in -go are feminine: as, cel litgo, albut'go, cacli'yo. Cotilea'go, rubi'.yo, etc.; all those of this last termination form the genitive in -lois. 3. Nouns of which the nominative ends in -is are femninine when they signify an action, state, or process: as, dial'ysis, the "act of clissolving;" diaphore'sis, the "act or state of perspiring," etc. (from the Greek). The genitive of this class of nouns is always the same as the nominative. 4. Those ending in -it, formed from a verb, are invariably feminine: as, abclbdc'tio [from the verb abdrl'co, abdntc'tnlu], edis'sio [from enit'to, eniris'soul], etc. 5. Those ending in -ma, which form the genitive by adding -tis, are from the Greek, and are without exception neuter: as, aro'na, co'ia, drerina, etc. _ Nouns in -as, having the genitive in -a'tis, formed from an adjective, as mlfi'tas, "dumbness" [from,ns'tus, "dumb"], are feminine; and, by analogy, nouns of the same termination, indicating the combination of some acid with a base, as ace'tas (an "acetate"), sl'pkhas (a "sulphate"), are generally regarded as feminine; but this is disputed by others, and as words of this class are exclusively modern, there is no classical authority to which we can appeal to decide the question.'i Nouns of the third declension usually change the -is of the genitive into -e, to form the ablative: as, car,'tharris, gen. canthair'idis, abl. enthar'silde; cat'o ("flesh"), gen. caer'is, abl. car'ne, etc. See examples of nouns of the third declension on preceding page. If the noun is masculine or feminine, the nominative plural is formed by changinmg the -is of the genitive singular into -es: as, ca'lipr, gen. c al'ycis, nom. pl. calT'yces; can'tharis, gen. ceathar'idis, nom. pl. ctlthcr'idles; but if neuter, the genitive singular is changed to -a or -ia: as, a'cer, gen. (C,!'eris, norm. pI. rlr'era; oI,'isurl, gen. animla'lis, nom. pl. anlila'lir; fora)'n7 n, gen. foralC'this, nOltm. p1. foranl'ina. _p It may be stated as a universal rule that, in Latin, neldter nouns, or adjectives, of wohatever declensiont, f'oi tle i.OcPi i viliVe llltural inl -ca. ~ In the last United States as well as in the British Pharmnacopoei (jlst published), nouns of this class are assumled to be feminine, andl;le acclmpani ying adjectives and particilples have the feminine termination.

To these may be added the very numerous class of nouns in -io, derived from the supines of verbs by simply dropping the -usn of the supine and substituting -io: for example, from abdu'co, abduct-umn, to "abduct," we have abduc'tio, "abduction;" from adhx/reo, adhsT'sum, to " adhere," we have adhx'sio, "adhesion," &c. All such nduns are of the feminine gender; they invariably form the genitive by adding -nis to the nomninative: e.g. abduc'tio, abductiotnis, adhemsio, adhwsiotnis, and so on. It may be observed that English nouns in -ion-such as caution, depression, lotion, motion, occasion, retention,'epulsion, tension, &c. &c.-are, with scarcely an exception, derived from Latin nouns of the class alluded to, by simply dropping the -is of the genitive; as, msotio, gen. motion-is, " motion;" tensio, gen. tension-is, " tension," &c. VI. Latin nouns having the nominative in -ius or -u, and the genitive like the nominative, are said to be of the fourth declension: e.g. nom. a'cus, a "needle;" gen. acues, "of a needle." Some grammarians suppose that the original form of the genitive was -itis, and that this was afterwards contracted into -us. Be this as it may, it is usual, in order to mark the difference between the nominative and genitive, to write the latter with a circumflex accent, which is a common 668 EXPLANATION OF LATIN TERMS, PHRASES, ETC. sign of contraction: e.g. nom. drtc'tlus, a " duct;"' en. de'tii,s, "of a duct." So we have-nom. cor'ntis flo'rid,, gen. c/',sTs flo'ridCe; nonm. qies'cs ol'bt, gen. quer'cds al'bx, etc.: hence the terms decoc'tsin cor',i,.s fiE,'icdT ("cdecoction of dogwood"), decoc'tueei qeter'cis al'b ("decoction of white oak [bark]"). Nouns of this class form the ablative in -u, the nominative plural in -Its, and the genitive plural in -ut_1m: thus, aIcus, a "-needle," has in the ablative'ie, "in, with, from, or by a needle;" nom pl. a'clus, "needles;" gen. pl. ae'lctm, "of needles;" dec'tes, a "'duct;" abl. dutc't,, "with a duct;" nom. pl. dec't,,s, "ducts;" gen. pl. dclc'timeel,'":of ducts,"' etc Nouns having the nominative singular in -iu, are of the neuter gender, and have the samle termination in all the cases of the singular. Like all neuter nouns of whatever declension, they form their plural in -a: e.g. ge'vi, a'knee;" gen. ye',et or ye'ds8,'of a knee;" abl. ge'ne, "with a knee;" nom. p1. yen',la,' knees," gen. pl gcs'tull,' of knees." C.(or',e (a "horn") is declined in precisely the same manner: hence we have the terms cor'nu eerevi, " hart's horn;" COr'rlsa u'teri, "horns of the uterus;" gen'na val'ga, "crooked cr distorted knees," etc. List of the most important Nouns of the Fourth Declension.

It may be observed that all Latin nouns ending in -as, and derived from the supine of a verb by simply changing -a7 to -s, are of the fourth declension and masculine gender:- e.g. aecdi'tlts, "hearing" [from au'dio, audi'tuan, to "hear"]; due'tus, a "duct," or "canal" [from du'co, duc'tulni, to "lead," to "convey"]; ic'tus, a "stroke" [from i'co, ic'tien, to "strike"]; ea.r'tins, "parturition" [from pacrio, Cpar't1in, to "bring forth"]; pas'seus, a "step" (i.e. an "opening" or "extension of the legs") [from pan'do, pan?'stio or pas'sum, to "open," "expand," or "exExamnp7es of 2oauns of the Fosurth Declension, declinzec infull.

Latin nouns having the nominative in -es and the genitive in -eli are of the fifth declension. They form the ablative in -e, the nominative plural like the nominative singular, the genitive plural in -e'srun, and the ablative plural in -e'ba1s: e.g. nom. di'es, a "day;" gen. die'i, "of a day;" abl. di'e, "in a day;" nom. pl. di'es, "days;" gen. die'runt, "of days;" abl. pl. die'bus, "in, on, or with days:" so, nom. res, a "thing;" gen. re'i, abl. re, nom. pl. res, gen. pl. re'rino, abl. pl. re'buts, etc. etc.: hence the phrases, ulter'nis die'bus, "on alternate days;" re'rllnl,nttl'rf, the "nature of things;" 1res con'tra natu'ram,, "things against nature," etc. Nouns of the fifth declension are feminine, excepting dies, a "day," which is usually masculine,t but- sometimes feminine. See examples given below. List of Nouns of the Fifth Declension. A'cies. Ca'ries. Gla'cies. Proflu'vies. Sca'bies. Balbu'ties. Di'es. Inglu'ries. Ra'bies. Spe'cies. Calvi'ties. Fa'cies. MaL'cies. Ries. Spes. Cani'ties. Fi'des. Molli'ties. Sa'nies. Superfic'ies. Indeclinable Nouns. Some Pharmacopceial (Latinized) names are indeclinable: that is to say, the termination remains the same through all the cases: e.g. noir. Jrati'co, gen. 3Mati'co, etc.: hence the phrase, Infa'sumin ilfati'co, "infusion of matieo:"t so Ai'cohol, Azed'acrach, Biu'chu (or Bnlc'co), Cat'echnr, Cus'so (or Ioos'so), El'enii, Ki'no, Sa'go, St8s's8fras, etc. Accordingly, we have Tinctlu',a Bulch, Tinctu'ra C(ut' echu, UngTue'tuin El:'emi, Tincetu'ra Kino, etc. The gender of the greater number of these nouns would sedm to be undetermined; it is important, however, to observe that Alcohol is always neuter; therefore we must say, Al'cohol Dilu'ttum, Al'cohol yFortius, etc., not Al'cohcl Dillt'i., or IFor'to'r.

As an illuistrationl of the power of usage, it mnlay e remanllled. that in English the sun, in poetic-al latnguage, is alwa-iys masculine, the moon l\sways feininine; and any one would be latug-hed at who sholsld speak of the sun as "she" lor1 the moon as "lle." Yet int German the moon is always masculine and tlie sun alwxays feminine. The only explanation to be given is that the usage of the language has nlade it so. 1: Matilcac however, the Plhrmlcopil(ei:L liame of the same sullbstance (according to the British Pharmacopceia), is declinahle, and Ielonnt;s to the first declensio, mallking tile genitive in -a: as, Infusumn iMatic,' Tinctri- Jl Mlien, etc. 670 EXPLANATION OF LATIN TERMS, PHRASES, ETC. LAdjectives. Latin adjectives may be divided into two great classes, namely, those of the first an(l second declensions, and those of the third declension. VIII. Adjectives of the first class have the masculine in -ts, the feminine in -a, and the neuter in -uon, the feminine corresponding exactly to nouns of the first declension; the masculine and neuter corresponding to nouns of the second declension in -us and -uar respectively. Accordingly, if an adjective of this class-take la'tlus, "broad," for example-is to be joined to a masculine noun, it retains its first termination in -us (the usual form in which such words are given in the dictionaries); if to a feminine noun, -us must be changed into -a; if to a neuter noun, into -urn: hence we have vsls'cullus la'tus, a'`broad muscle;" fas'cia la'ta, a "broad fascia;" ligam.e'ttmut la'tuen, a "broad ligament;" because nus'cultus is masculine, fas'cia, feminine, and liycgamel'tum, neuter. The cases of the adjectives, both singular and plural, are in these examples formed precisely in the same manner as the nouns to which they are joined. Accordingly we have in the Genitive: Noninative plural: MlsflStculi lacti, "of the broad muscle." Mius'culi la'ti, " broad muscles." Fas'cime la'tic, " of the broad fascia." PB'ts'ciae la'tw., "broad fascire." Ligamen'ti la'li, "of the broad ligament." Ligamenss'ta la'ta, " broad ligaments." Ablative: Genitive plural: Mius'culo la'to, "with or in the broad Mtausculo'srum lato'rum, "of the broad musmllscle." cles." Fas'cid la'td, "with. or in the broad fas- Pascia'rusn lata'srum, "of the broad fascia." cide." Ligamen'to la'to, "with or in the broad Ligamesnto',rum lato'rum, "of the broad ligament." ligaments." In like manner, if the noun should be of the third declension, the adjective changes so as to correspond in gender and case as well as number (though it does nuot change according to the declension). Nominative singular: Nominative plural: Ten?'do la'tus, a "broad tendon." Te/'dines la'ti, "broad tendons." (Yartila'go laila, a " broad cartilage." Casrtilacg'ines la'tTe, " broad cartilages." Os la'tun, a " broad bone." Os'sa la'ta, " broad bones." Genitive: Genitive plural: Tenz'diis la'ti, "of a broad tendon." Ten'dinemn latoruzm, " of broad tendons."

Ablative: Ablative plural: Tens'dine la'to, " with or in a broad tendon." Tendin'ibus la'tis, " with broad tendons." Cartilag'ine la'tt, "with or in a broad Cartilagin'ibus la'tis, " with broad carticartilage." lages." Os'se la'to, "witll or in a broad bone." Os'sibus ia'tis, "with broad bones."

Adjectives of the third declension are generally declined in all respects like nouns of the third declension having the same termination and gender: thus, adjectives in -is (as ssi'tis, "mildl") are declined like crigiis, except that they have the ablative singular in -i; those in -e, like re'te; those in -sis (e.g. a' cdens, "burning"), like dess; those in -ex (as siii'plex.,'"simple"), like a'pex, etc. (See page 665.) This class of adject;ves ultty be conveniently subdivided into two sections: i. Those ending in -is having the neuter in -e: as, ibdonmihia'lis, "abdominal;" lrtbia'li's, "labial;" orbi;crilt''ris, "circular," etc. 2. Those terminating in two consonants: as, atstili'geesi ("astringent"), scr'pelns ("creeping"), svedicc'trix': ("healing"), etc. X.

Adjectives belonging to the second section (i.e. ending in two consonants) have the masculine, feminine, and neuter alike both in the nominative and genitive: as, siioir,'blos ser'peiS, a "creeping disease;" a'rea set'peiis, a "creeping baldness;" Io;'inril sei'pen jis, a "creeping animal." In the genitive, we should have loorl'bi seirpen'ti.s, "of a creeping disease;" c'reee seTe -nel'tis, "of a creeping baldness;" aciiotna'lis serse1'eWtis, "of a creeping animal."t Adjectives of the third declension form the masculine and feminine plural by changing -is of the genitive singula:r into -es, and the neuter by changing it into -ia: e.g. ttio'c,rlIs lactr'is, a "winged or wing-shaped muscle;" ve'iln tla'ris, a "winged ve.in;" os lac're, a "winged bone;" norn. pl. iiis'culli cala'res, "winged muscles;" ve'lle al(i'res, "winged veins;" os'sa ali'ria, "winged bones." The genitive plural ends in -itoii in all three genders: e.g. oui.ciet/1o'rwin ala'riloso, "of winged muscles;" venIt'riimo alcia'riiini "of winged veins;" os'silimE atlr'irini, "of winged bones" (see ALARIS and ALArrEs, in the dictionary). In like manner, we should have, in the plural, nior'bi scien'ites, " creeping.diseases;" ve'loi serpen'tes, "creeping or winding veins;" aclina'l'la serpei'tia, "creeping animals." Comparison of Adjectives. Adjectives of the comparative degree are of the third declension; they have the masculine and feminine termination in -or (declined like hlmlor: see example on page 665): e.g. o/i'tis, "mild," has ooi'tior in the comparative; hence, ty')phiis ili'tior, Examoople of an Adj(ecttve (pa'rticiple) of thle Third Declension in -ons, declined inz full.'Siogotlar.

Several adjectives form the comparative irregularly, but it always terminates in -or, and is declined as above stated: e.y. mnog'smes,' great," has for its comparative, ia'jor, " greater;" par'ves, "little," has mjit'or, "less;" bo'nls, "good," vle'lior, "better;"?uas'lus, "bad," pe'jor7, "worse."

The genitive, dative, and ablative neuter are the same as the masculine: as, la'bii inlfe)rio'lis, "of the lower lip;" cern al'cohol forio're, " with stronger alcohol." The superlative degree of Latin adjectives usually terminates in -issimus: as,; vnitis'siRncus, "mildest;" gravis'sinmes, "severest;" fortis'sir us, "strongest;" latis'sinu8s, "broadest" (from la'tus, "broad"); but most of those adjectives (viz. mnag'-. eits, par'vels, etc.) which have an irregular comparative, form the superlative also irregularly: as, mtx'irmus, "greatest;" siu'lintles, "least;" op'timltsS, "best;" pes'sismees, "worst."

The lists of Latin nouns, adjectives, etc. on the foregoing pages contain, it is believed, all the most inmportant words of this kind which the student will be likely to meet with in works relating to Anatomy, Pharmacy, etc. Especial care has been -taken to make the lists complete with respect to Pharmacopoeial names and the terms commonly used in writing prescriptions.t* Renlarks on the trse tand Application of Latin AIdjectives. Tt has already been shown (on page 671) that Latin adjectives change their terminations so as to agree with the nouns to which they are joined, in GENDER; NUMNI BER, and CASE. It is important to observ'e that this agreement is equally necessary whether the noun be understood or expressed: for example, the adjective Ie'ger ("sick," or "suffering") if joined with vir' (a "man") will, of course, retain its masculine form; if with femsn'inac (a0 "woman"), it is changed to ee'gra, according to the rule already explained; also, if the adjective be used without a noun, as is frequently the case, to denote a "patient,"t we must always write w'ges, if we mean a male, and &'gra, if we mean a female patient. Hence we have the following inportant rule:- Whenever an adjective, participle, or adjective pronoun is used without any noun expressed, it must invariably be put in the gender, number, and ease of the coun (whatever.this may be) which is understood. Accordingly, all the names of * It may be observed that the signification of the nouns is not given in the lists, because, -with few if any exceptions, they will be found defined in the Dictionary. But, as only a part of the adcjectives are given in the Dictionary under their own heads, and since the lists, if they.ontaineed the signification of only a portion, would have an irregular and unsightly appearance, it has been deemed best to give the meaning of the adjectives in all cases. t "Patient" is merely an Anglicized form of the Latin pa'tiens [from pa'tior, pas'sus, ts "suffer"l] and signifies a " suffering" or "sick" person. fy77 EXPLANATION OF LATIN TERMS, PHRASES, ETC. the muscles formed from adjectives (of which there are a great number), as, Crelte'l'Us, gSett, l S, hgoglos'stss, sarto' rivs, sei)sierCtbr/Oo'sf1s, latis'shun8s dor's., queodra'tts luiibo'rurn, recc'tts oc'uldi, etc., must have the masculine termination, because wnls'teulas (a "muscle"), the understood noun, is of the mascaline gender. So the adjectives forming the names of nerves must be masculine, because naes r'vs (a "nerve") is masculine: e.g. accesso'rilts TYillis'ii (in the plural, accesso'rii i1Vllis'ii), hyploglos'sus, pa~thet'ici, trigyen'ini, etc. One of the most important applications of the rule above stated, is to the names of the divisions, classes, or orders in the different departments of science. In Botany the natural orders are generally formed from adjectives in -a'cets: as, Acera'ceees, Clusi'ceu.s, Lilia'tecus, Papavera'celts, etc., the terminations of which are changed to agree with the noun plt)Ln'tw ("plants") understood, in the nominative plural feminine. Accordingly, Acera'cer signifies "[plants] allied to, or resembling, the maple;" Chltsia'cex "[plants] allied to, or resembling, the Cltsiua;" Litia'cese, those "resembling the lily;" Papavera'cea, those "resembling the poppy," etc. etc. It may be observed, however, that the orders of Jussieu are, with a few exceptions, named from the plural of certain nouns: as, An'cera (plural of A'cer), the "maples;" Lil'ia (plural of Lil'iio), the "lilies;" Al'g. (plural of Al'ga), "seaweeds;" Jetts'ci (plural of Mltls'cus,) "mosses," etc. etc. The Linnoean classes (which are of Greek derivation) consist of adjectives (such as muoaau'drius, "having one stamen;" peitcuat'drits, "having five stamens;" deccat'drigus, "having ten stamens," etc.) in the neuter plural agreeing with p7y'ta, or u-ra6 (the plural of p)y'toln, or in',r6!, the Greek term for a "plant"), understood. By some, however, they are considered to be nouns (or adjectives used as nouns, clas'sis, a "class," being understood) in the feminine singular. On this supposition, J[oenan'dria is equivalent to clas'sis Jllonasl'cl irt, the "3Monandrian class," or that comprising flowers having a single stamen; Pentaet'dria is the "Pentandrian class," or that comprising flowers with five stamens, and so on. But it is preferable to consider these classes as formed of adjectives in the plural; for so they will harmonize with the names of the divisions and classes in Zoology, Nosology, etc., where they are always in the plural. The divisions, classes, and orders of the animal kingdom are formed of adjectives with the neuter plural termination in — a; because An'ilal (plural Ali,,e'li-), the understood noun, is of the neuter gender: e.g. Vertebra'tc, "vertebrated [ani. mals];" J3ollts'cea, "molluscous [animals];" Articel'tea, "articulated [animals];" Radia'ta, "radiated [animals];";ilaee'alia, "[animals] furnished with mammee;" C'ephaelop'oda, "[animals] having the head furnished with feet," the designation of an order of mollusks, the most highly organized of all invertebrate animals (see C l PHALOPODA, in the Dictionary). With respect to the classification of diseases, great diversity prevails. Cullen, like Jussieu, generally took the names of his classes and orders from the plurals of nouns: as, Pymex'ic (plural of Pyrex.'ia, a "febrile affection"), Neuro'ses (plural of Nefero'sis, a "nervous disease"), Spm(Is8'i (plural of Spl8s't11s, a "spasm"), Tlmno'res (plural of Tuvior~', a "tumor"), etc.; though one of his classes, Loca'les, is formed from the adjective locaelis ("local"), nzor'bi ("diseases") being understood. Dr. Good gives a neuter termination to all his classes and orders: as, HemcTat'ica (from h]:ejti'i(tsu, "pirtaininig to the blood"), CY-ot'ica ('"om cenot'i678 EXPLANATION OF LATIN TERMS, PHRASES, ETC. clu., "pertaining to evacuations"), etc. etc., the neuter noun pcctathemlcta (plural of athle'sla, an "affection," or "disease") being understood. But it is now, perhaps, more usual to put the adjective in the masculine plural, agreeing with msor'li (plural of nmo/b,'s, a "disease"): e.g. Zywsot'ici, "zymotic [diseases];" Clrot'ici, "skin [diseasesl," ctc.'5 It must be borne in mind that tlhe rule respecting the agreement of adjectives with nouns (see pp. 671, 677) applies not merely to the construction of sentences, but even to the shortest Latin phrase which may form the name of a bone, a plant, or a chemlical substance: as, 0O. (n.) i)loail'a'tlur, Coasrt7 (f.) Flor'idC, Fer' rum7 redue'tsi,, SyJru'2,Ms f/.sV'cts, etc. If, in writing any Latin name or phrase, the student should feel the slightest doubt, he should first ascertain the declension, gender, etc. of the word, which he can readily do by a reference to the lists on the foregoing pages. If the nominative of the noun ends in -a, it is in all probability of the first declension, feminine gender; let him then consult the list on page 661; if in -rn,, it is of the second declension, neuter gender (see list on page 664); if in -usu, it is probably of the masculine gender, second declension, in which case let him refer to the list on page 663 (if not found there, to that on 6C9); for nouns of any other term nath( n, let him examine the list of nouns of the third declension on pages 667 andl 6C8, or to those of the fifth declension on page 670. Suppose, for example, he is in doubt whether to write for "washed sulphur," sulplhl lottsm or 811sul.lr lotu8: by turning to the list of the third declension, he will find that sulpihurl is neuter, and he will therefore know that the participle loits, "washed," must have the neuter termination in -iisn for the nominative case. If he wishes to use the genitive case, he will change sulpu1,t to sijrhvluris, and loto1n to lot/. The application of the rule to botanical names is usually very easy; but it would be better in all cases of uncertainty for him to examine every point and make assurance doubly sure, not only for the satisfaction of being correct, but also that he may acquii'e a HTABIT Ou' ACCURtiACY, an element in the character of an accomplished physician or pharmacist, the importance of which can scarcely be over-estimated.t * See Dr. Farr's classification of diseases as exhibited in LyoN's "HIospital Practice," and other works. - II1 a large majority of cases, botanical (and zoological) names consist of a nouni constitutinlg the gelnus, joiiied -with an adjective (usually denotinig some characteristic of the plant) foriliig tle specific iiamle: for example, ii Cp'epsicuze1 aCenlu'Etil (the "annual Caplsiclm"), the specific telirm cnntzuni is -use(d to distingrishl it fromn other species which are bienllial or perennial; so A'tron tri1yt'tjltlli t, " the ree-leaved Arunt," Cinc7to7a pacl'lida, " plale Cinchona," etc. etc. In a numbller of instances, however, the specjfic namie is formed of a notun (not unfrequently the ilalmie of some obsolete gelluis), in which case it does not necessarily agree in gender with the generic name.

IN most countries of Europe, as well as in the United States, it is customary to write medical prescriptions in Latin. It is generally conceded that the interests of science are promoted by the usage which prevails among different nations, of writing the scientific names of plants, animals, etc. in a language which is understood, to a greater or less extent, throughout the civilized world, and which is not subject to the variations, and consequent uncertainty of meaning, to which all living languages are in some degree liable. There appears to be no good reason why the names or terms used in Pharmacy should constitute any exception to a principle so generally recognized. It has been urged as a more practical argument in favor of the custom of writing prescriptions in Latin, that a person travelling in foreign Exogo'nium Pur'ga. Momor'dica Elate'rium. Pterocartpns Alarsutpium. Fer'ula Assafiet'ida. Nar'thex Assafcet ida. Pu'nica (Grana'tum. HIed'era He'lix. Nicotia'na Tab'acum. Py'lus.,1Ma'lus. Hu'mulus.

Leon'todon Tarax'acum. Polyg'onum Bistor'ta. Verbas'cuin Thap'sus. Lirioden'dron Tulipif'era. Potentil'la Torinentil'la. Zeta Mays. It may be remarked that the general usage of scientific writers requires that the generic name should begin with a capital, but the specific nalne, if an adcljective (anld not derived from a proper name), should, when it occurs in a regular sentence, invariably begin with a snmall letter: as, IlZ'etrisfarino'sa, A'rii)ui tr'ip)hyltllim, etc. But if the adjective is derived fronm some proper name, as Canadenisis (fronl Canada), Etospttfus (froml Esuropa), and Philadlel'plhieus (froml Philadelphia), then, of course, both the specific and generic name should commineice with a capital: as, As'ariua C'anade,'se, As2'trna Eropc'tum, Er-igteron _Il/ilutelphrticusi. Also, when the specific name, as those in the foregoing list, is a noun, it should always begin with a capital.* A3c The specific names of the various species of AIeloe (somnetimes used synonymnously ywrith Cantharis), all having a nlasculine terlmination (as, Meloe niger, Al. esicatosihs, etc.), might seem at first silght to deviate from tIle rule thatt the specific termii if an adjective must agree in gender with the generic lname; for Akloe, accordiing to all recognized rules, ought to be feminine. But the mistake of supposing AMeloe (a, term of modern origin) to be mnasculile, having been made by those who first used the word, has since beein almost universally followed by scientific writers. So that rather than unsettle the established usage respecting this group of names, we ought perhaps to recognize lle.loe as the sole instance of a nouni ending in -e and forming the genitive in -es, and yet of the masculine gender. In a few instances the specific nale of plants is formed of a noun in the genitive case: as, Casmtlphora o.ficina'satii (the "Camplnhor of the shops"), CCa's',,I Ctrl'ui (which can scarcely be translated, the second word being the genitive of Crtsuon,.which signifies essentisally tile same as Citi7Gne), Dri'nys Wniute'si (the' Drimys of [Captain] Winter," wvho first brought this species into notice), Getifa'lea Cbtteslbsci (the " Gentian of Catesby"), Ru'bia tincto'7lsnu (" Dyers' Madder"), etc. In the foregoing examples the second noun in the genitive lies tile force of a~l adjective: Cabmplehora officinal'u.n may be tralnslated "officinal Camphor," Ge-ltia'iza Gttesbe'i, "Catesbeain Gentian;" so we say in English, "Arabian spices," or "spices of Arabia," etc. * The specific name of the common tulip-tree (Li iordenz'dron Tiiipf'e7ra) is sometimes written with a small letter for its inlitial; but this is mneiifestly inlcorrect, for though tzlip(f'esra may sometimes be an adjective, it cannot be so in this connection, otherw uise it insist agree with tihe generic name in the neuter genlder, andswe should then have Liriodesn77%ron tulilpifalerum. T'he f tct is, that Talipifera itself was formerly a generlic n)amne, formed of the adjective tulipifr.?is (" tulip-bearing"), agreeing with A?'bos ("tree"') understoosd. It miay lele be observed. that all the Latin nanmes of trees are fezinisie. Lirioden'dronhs and Rhododen7'(lron, thle only important apparent exceptions, are not properly Latin words, since they hiave the Il're Greelk termination in -on. Liriodelndro, is of anodern origin; Rhododeisndron is to be folllud in Romnan writers, but they were so averse to have the naime of a tree with a neuter termination, that Pliny writes it R/hodoilsel'dos, thllus convelting it iito a femininie noun. Somle of the nanles of trees are of differenlt declensions: e.g. Corb'tns, usuallly. of the fourth, is sometimles of the second; Pinusz appears to be used al)out equally in the second sand fourth; Ibut the gender remains the same, being always feiliiniie in the'works of the best writers 680 ON WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS. countries, if taken sick, might die before a, prescription written in his native tongue could be interpreted. But, whatever weight may be attached to the arguments by which the practice is sought to be defended, the fact that it is sanctioned by so large a portion of the civilized world, and that it is in a manner recognized both by the United States and British Pharmacopoeias, in which the officinal names of medicines are always given in Latin, makes it absolutely necessary for the stuudent of Medicine or Pharmacy, who aspires to a respectable rank in his profession, to bestow some attention upon this subject. The word prescription is from the Latin pree, "before," or "beforehand," and ecri'bo, to "write," and signifies, strictly speaking, something written out beforehand to serve as a guide or direction to others; but it is also applied to any formal directions, whether written or spoken, which a physician may give for promoting or restoring the health of his patient. HIe may prescribe blood-letting or exercise, and his directions to this effect constitute his prescription; but the application of the term is usually restricted to written directions (also called formunlt) for compounding and administering medicines. lormulae are of two kinds, viz.: oliccisnal, including the directions for the preparation of medicines published in Pharmacopceias; and extemporanceous (or mnagistral), denoting those which the physician writes out for some particular occasion. A simple formula is one which contains but a single officinal preparation: as, I:k Extracti IIyoscyami........................... j. Fia nt pilulohe xii. (" Take of Extract of Hyoscyamus a drachm. Let twelve pills be made [of it].") A compound formula is one containing two or more officinal preparations: as, lrk Magnesia- Sulphatis....................... ij. Infusi Sennce............................................................... Misce. ("Take of the Sulphate of Magnesia two drachms, of the Infusion of Senna an ounce. Mix [them].") The principal medicine in a formula is termed the basis; that which assists or promotes the action of the basis is called an acnxiliary or adjtuvas t (adJ'vclas); that which corrects some objectionable quality is termed a corrective (co'riygen)s); and that which is used to give a form convenient for administering the whole, is the excipient, or vehicle, or co nstitnest (c rc/'iehs, ehic'ulun, or co7nstit'ues), as illustrated in the following formula:3l Aloes.............................................................ss (basis). ITydrargyri Chlorili Itis..............................gr. vrj. (auxiliary). Olei Anisi.......................................................guttas v. (corrective). Syrupi quantum suificit (cxcipiaent) ut fiant pilul.o xii. (" Take of Aloes a half drachmn, of the Midild Chloride of Mercury six grains, of Oil of Anise five drops, of Syrup a sufficient quantity so that twelve pills illay be made.") Any one who has a tolerable understanding of English grammar will have little difficulty in writing prescriptions correctly, if he will carefully attend to the following rules and directions. RULE FIRST.-Whenever the q uantity of any medicine or material is mentioned; the name of the material must always be put in the genitive case: thus, in the folt.wing example:58 681 ON WRITING PRESCR'IPTIONS. }~ Eupatorii....................................................................j. Aqume Ferventis (or Bullientis)....................................... Macera per horas duas et cola. ("Take of Eupatorium an ounce, of boiling water a pint. Macerate for two hours and strain.") NAota bene: it is necessary to write Eutpatorii (not Elfpatorilun), and Aqle.frventis (not Aqua fervens), since we cannot say, in English, "an ounce Eupatorium," any more than we can say, "a pint boiling water." The genitive termination in the Latin is even more indispensable than the preposition "of" is in the English; because in certain cases the "of" may be understood if it has previously been expressed: thus, we might say, " Take of Eupatorium an ounce, boiling water a pint." But the genitive termination in Latin can never thus be understood, but must always be expressed: indeed, it exactly corresponds in this respect to the regular form of the English possessive. It would be very ridiculous to say, in English, "John's and William books," or "Cowper's and Milton poems," on the ground that the s and apostrophe (which are, in fact, the English genitive or possessive termination) are to be understood after the second name: it is equally absurd to suppose that the Latin genitive termination can ever be understood when not expressed. We have dwelt longer upon this point, because physicians not wholly ignorant of the Latin tongue frequently commit the ridiculous blunder here alluded to. They may judge how their Latin would strike a good classical scholar, from the impression made on their own minds by such specimens of English as those cited above. If the writer of a prescription cannot afford to take the trouble to be correct, it would perhaps be better for him to use abbreviated names or terms, thus:-: Magnes. Sulph...................... ij. 1]1 Eupator..................................... j. Infus. Senn......................... Aq. Fervent................................O by which expedient he would, at least, shelter himself from criticism. But we would strongly recommend to those students whose ambition it is to excel in their profession, bravely to nmaster the difficulty at the outset, and, if they afterwards think proper to employ such abbreviated terms, let them do so rather to economize time than to conceal their ignorance. The liability to mistakes, however, on the part of the druggist who puts up the prescription, is not a little increased by a resort to such abbreviations, and, if they are used at all, particular care should be taken that every letter be written distinctly. _- The same, or greater, caution is needed with respect to writing the signs for ouce, dracihim, etc.; for cases might readily occur, in which the substitution of an ounce for a drachm of some particular medicine might be attended with fatal consequences. Many of the names used in Pharmacyare compound: as,Eixtr'actnmnHyoscyami (" Extract of Hyoscyamus"), I1fussum Senuce ("Infusion of Senna"), J]agnesie Snullphas (" Sulphate of Magnesia"). In each of these examples there is a noun in the nominative joined with one in the genitive case, the latter qualifying the former somewhat in the manner of an adjective, for " Infusion of Senna" has precisely the same meaning as "Senna Infusion," if we use':Senna" as an adjective: so Aqua Creasoti, "Creasote Water" (literally, "Water of Creasote"), Aqua Reose, "Rose Water" (literally, "Water of Rose"). It is to be observed that in prescriptions this qualifying noun (which is always in the genitive case, though it is sometimes put first, and 682 ON WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS. sometimes second) must remain unchanged. For example: if we wish to intro' duce the term "Sulphate of Magnesia" (lMagyesiae Salphas) into a formula, iJagnesise, which is the qualifying word, must remain always in the genitive, whatever may be the form of the sentence in which it occurs; but the other term, Spll)has, is to be changed according to circumstances, or as the meaning of the writer may require. If, as before observed, the quantity of any substance be mentioned, the substance itself must be put in the genitive: as, "of the Sulphate of Magnesia one ounce" (Magnesie S'ulphatis ij). But suppose, the quantity having been previously determined, he should have occasion to speak of combining the "Infusion of Senna with Sulphate of Magnesia:" he should then wri;e Jlfusonl (or Jlfuisi, according to the nature of the sentence.) Seare ce, icagneshi Sul'phate. Here it w11l be seen that while the qualifying term (M1agnesix) remains the same, the other term (Snilphas) is put in the ablative case, being governed by the preposition cn.n, "with." If the learner should ask why the preposition does not govern 3Magnesia, seeing it comes next to it. the answer is that the SENSE, or IEANING. forbids it: the meaning is " with the sulphate," not "with magnesia," the latter term'being governed in the genitive by "of." Should we put "magnesia" in the ablative and "sulphate" in the genitive, we should have "with magnesia of sulphate," which is simply nonsense." It may here be remarked that in Latin it matters comparatively little in what order the words stand, provided each is in its proper case: thus, we may say Szlphas Mlagfnesie, or Mlagnesie Sulp/has, though the latter is more usual. We might also say either Ci'ne S//lphate Jagnlesi', or Cunil 3iagne-sie Sullphate, since, whichever arrangement of words we use, the cases of each remain the same. So, frequently, in English, we may change the order of the words, provided we preserve the sense. We may say either the "brain's base," or the "base of the brain," "hartshorn" (hart's horn), or the "horn of the hart;" but the Latin language admits of transposition to a much greater extent, even when precisely the same words are made use of. Thus, for the "Compound Powder of Rhubarb," we might say, in Latin, either Coep8ostits Pelvis? Rhei, Rhei Coqp.ositls PelIvis, Pulhcis Cominposite.s Rhei, Rhei Pelvis Ci8 o1po8itus, or Pulvis Rhei Conspositzts, and the meaning would be precisely the same whichever arrangement of the words we might adopt. But, though each form is grammatically correct, euphony requires the last; for by either of the other arrangements the two words pllvis and coijmpositits, both ending in s, would come * To makle this subject perfectly clear, it may be well to restate the same principle in different wolrds. When it is directedl to put any compound name into the genitive, accusative, etc., the direction alwvays has reference to that part which is in the NOMINATIVE, as the name stands in the Pharmlacopoeia. Thus, in the following examples, Potastsa Car bo'nas, Decoc'tucm Chtimnapl'i1,%, Extrac'tumn Can'nabis Petcifical'tin, etc., "Clarbonas, " Decoctum," and " Extractuln purificaturn" would alone be chalnged; it to the genitive, we should have " Carbonatis," "iDecocti," and. " Extracti purificati" (for, as" plnlificatuml" agrees with " Extractllm," it mulst change with it): if to the ablative, " Ciarboiinte,"'" Icacto," and " Extracto purificato." Some compound Plllraco(isal 1 i namines consist of a noun joined with one or more adjectives: ats, Syr'tiit& 7nlut(nCus (U.S. Ph11.), "Syrup of Tolu;" Vti'sssLs Asntimonia'7e (Br. Ph.), "Antimonial Wine;" Pillt cltc ath/r'tics E Co01)pos'itre (U.S. Ph.), "Compoulnd Cathartic Pills." In writing such names, it is only necessry!to take care that the adjective always agrees with the noun in number, gender, and case. If the noun is put in the genitive, the adjective must be so likewise: as,:t Sqroatpi lsu7tasi Jluiduncians (" Take of Syrulp of Tolu a fluidounce"); mVini An.tinonia'lis J7lidraclsamn ("Take of Antimonial Wine a fluidrachm"). It is to be observed that Tolutteasus (" of, or peltaining to, Tolu") is declined like la'tsus (page 672), and Antimonsia'le like mite (neuter of mi'tis, page 673). But, slhould we have occasion to say, "To this mixture add the Syrupl) of Tolu,' then both noun and adjective must be put'in the accusative, as follows: Ituiic rmistuaer adde Syrupurn blutanum. 683 ON WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS. together, prolducing a disagreeable alliteration. True, this might also be avoided by the fi) 1i C,,jpositus B-hei Pllvis; but it is usually considered preferable in Latin to place the noun before the adjective or participle.Variations with respect to the arrangement of the different words in a phrase are, in fact, not uncommon. Thus, for the "Bark of Pomegranate Root," our Pharmacopoeia has Granati Radicis Cortex, while the Prussian Pharmacopoeia (referred to in a note on page 666) has Cortex.Radicis Grasnati; other similar examples might be cited. RULE SECOND.-The terms which indicate the quantity of any material in the prescription-such, for example, as "pound," "ounce," "drachm," "scruple," " grain," "pint," "drop," or " minim," etc.-must invariably be put in the accusative ease, being directly governed by the active verb recipe, "take."t Although these measures of quantity are usually represented by signs (as n, 5, D, 0, etc.), which can have no distinction of case, yet the student ought to be able to write them out should occasion require; for if he is acquainted only with the signs, he will scarcely be able to read a prescription written out in full, and cases might occur in which this would be highly important: thus, he might be applied to to interpret a prescription written by another physician. He who would aspire to an honorable rank in his profession, whether as a physician or pharmacist, must not be content with knowing merely what is absolutely necessary, but should use every means within his power to become thoroughly accomplished in the different branches of his vocation. In order clearly to explain the application of the rules above given, it may be useful to cite a number of examples. ~ Suppose one should wish to write out in full the Latin of the following:Take of Sulphate of Magnesia two drachms. of Infusion of Senna a fluidounce. Mix. Now, according to Rule First, the material itself must be put in the genitive: we should then have [agnesie SiSlphlatis (the genitive of lltagnesiee Snlplhas), and ]JfA1si SeCn2se (the genitive of JIfussums Sesnne ). According to Rule Second, the word denoting the quantity must be put in the accusative: therefore we must write drachmlas (the accusative plural of drachTma, a "drachin:" see the declension of Vena on page 661), and fluidunlciacn (the accusative singular of fluidlnccia, a "fluidounce.") The whole, written out in full, without signs or abbreviations, would then stand as follows:Recipe Magnesihe Sulphatis drachmas duas Infusi Sennre fluidunciain. Misce. The principle is, of course, the same however the quantities may vary: thus, we might substitute six drachms for twuo, and three ounces for one, in which case the ~ Compare the following names occurring in the United States Pharmacopoeia,-Pihsl., Saponis Cbepositwe ("' Compound Pills of Soap"); Tincture Opii Acetata (" Acetatedl Tincture of Opium"), iisteura Ferri Conposita (" Compound Mixture of Iron"), In.funsin Gentican C(otipositumn (" Conlpound Infusion of Gentian"), Hydragyrleuet Amasenicittennm (" Aimoniiated Mercury"), Hycdrargyri Oxidn7u Rubrsunm (" Red Oxide of Mercury"), in all of which the participle or adjective is placed after the noun. t It will be seen that the principle is precisely the same as in English grammar: thus, when we say, in English, "Take of Infusion of Senna an ounce," it is not the'noun "Infusion,",but "' ounce," which is governed in the objective by the verb " take;" " Infusioml" being governed by the preposition " of." 684 ON WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS. noun "fluidounce" (fyluidncla) would still be in the accusative, the only change being from the singular to the plural, while the terms representing the materials would remain unchanged. The prescription would then standRecipe Magnesia Sulphatis drachmas sex.* Infusi Senne fluiduncias tres. Misce. Again: suppose we wish to put into Latin the following:Take of the Carbonate of Magnesia a drachnl. of the Powder of Rhubarb fifteen grains. of Peppermint Water two fluidounces. Let a mixture be made, of which a tablespoonful may be given every two hours. We must first put the materials in the genitive. Jlagnesie Car'bozas will then be changed to llagn.esia Carbonatis; Pulvis Rlhei, to Pulvelris Rhei; Aqua Melth/u Pipe'itas, to Aqume Hle th/m Ppeurita. The quantities being put in the accusative, drnachrna is changed to drach/zsmat, g7alullul to g'aea (the accusative plural), fili(dmuncia tofleidluncias (also accusative plural). The prescription would then stand1~k Magnesie Carbonatis dlachmanm. Pulveris Rhei grana quindecimn. Aquae Menthae Piperitae fluiduncias duas. Fiat mistura, cnjus detur cochleare magnum omni bihorio. Again, write the following in Latin:Take of the Mixture of Ammoniac three' fluidounces. of the Tincture of Castor half a fluidrachm. of Syrup of Tolu half a fluidounce. of Tincture of Opium five drops. of Cinnamon Water a fluidounce. Let a mixture be nade. Of thlist dessert-spoonful may be taken every three hours. Putting the materials in the genitive, we shall have to change lXistura Ans7oniaci to Alisturce An7u1oniaci, TicturaC Castorei to Ti1cttrl- Castorei, S.q'rpu8s Tolttaunts to Syrlpi Tolestasli, Tinctmla Opii to Tiectmrtse Opii, and Aqua Cintmosnonsi to AqxL Cinmncamomi. Putting the quantities in thei accusative, we must write, for "three fluidounces," fllidellcioas tr.cs; "half a fluidrachm," fluzidraech/tams dclmidiavn;t "half a fluidounce," flEidstuciamt diauidiane;t "five drops," guttoas quinoqte; "'a fuidounce,".fl/dl:cLaoctlm. The whole prescription would then be as follows:Recipe Misturme Amnloniaci finiduncias tres. Tinctur- Castorei fluildrachmanm dimidiam. Syrupi Tolutani fliidunciam dimidiam.. Tincturm Opii guttas quinque. Aqule Cinnamnomi flnidunciam. Fiat mistura. Ilujus sumnatur cochleare medium omni trihorio. The learner will btear in mind that the Latin nuimerals after tres (" three") are indeclinable; that is, the terminationl remllains the same. through all the cases. t It is to be observed that in La-tin they rarely say the "half of a thing," but commonly use'half," as well as "'whole," silply as an adjective: thus, they say totues orbis, the "whole vorldl," urbs tota, the " whole city:" in like manner, they would say dimeidius orbis (or orbis dinziclius), "half the world," taubs dineidit, "half the city," &c. In writing, however, the phrase an "ounce and a half," they do not say uncicam et cidi aidi. but usually unciam (or sncia) cusa semisse, an "ounce together with /.its] half." They likewise say sesquiuncia and sescuncia (see page 691). 58* 6855 ON WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS. It will be observed that in the last two examples, directions have been added respecting the dose, and the time when it should be taken. It is, however, generally preferable-and it is the almost universal custom in this country-to write the directions in English. The latter part of these prescriptions might then be changed as follows:Fiat mistura. Signa.* Let a tablespoonful be given every two hours. Fiat mistura. Signa.* Let a dessert-spoonful of this be taken every three hours. As, however, the United States have become a place of resort for persons from every part of the world, and it is, therefore, important that our physicians and pharmacists should not be wholly ignorant of the customs of other countries, the two following rules relating to the proper mode of writing Latin directions, have been added. RULE THIRD.-In the directions appended to a prescription, the terms used for the purpose of indicating the time WHEN (or AT wHICI) the medicine should be taken, must be put in the ablative cage.t For example: —: Massse de hydrargyro grana sex. Opii grana tria. Permisce (vel misce accurate) et divide in pilulas duodecim. Ilarum una sumatur omni nocte. (" Take of Blue Mass (literally, "of the mass [prepared] from Mercury") six grains, of Opium three grains. Mix thoroughly (or mix carefully) and divide into twelve pills. Of these let one be taken every night.") Recipe Decocti Cetrarixe octarium. Itujus sumatur poculum omni trihorio. ("Take of Decoction of Iceland Moss a pint. Of this let a cupful be taken every three hours.") Recipe Magnesiah drachmam. Acquve Menthce Piperitce fluiduncias sex. Misce. Capiat cochleare minimum omni hlor&. (" Take of Magnesia a drachm. of Peppermint Water six fluidounCes. Mix [them]. Let him [the patient] take a teaspoonful every hour.") So, if we have occasion to use for the same purpose such terms as the following, "half an hour" (seti1ho'ra), an "hour and a half" (sesquliho'r(O), "two hours" (biho'riium) [i.e. the "space of two hours"], "three hours" (triho'rihm), these Latin nouns (with their adjectives) must be put in the ablative: e.g. om'ni seaihol'rd, "every half-hour," onsni bilhorio, "every two hours," quartd qlcdqe hord, "every fourth hour," q1edqcce semniliord2, " every half-hour," qadqlte sesquihord2, "every hour and a half," etc. etc. So, if we should wish to say, "at night," we must write noc'te (the ablative of iox, "night"), "at evening," ves'p)ere (the ablative of veslper), etc. In like manner, we say hor' son07i, "at the hour of sleep," or hordt decubitats, "at * The imperative mood of signo, to "mark," or "write." - Mc,:ne, " in the morning," commonly regarded as an adverb, is perhaps the ablative case of some obsolete noun. Vespere, "in the evening," though usually called an adverb, appears to L;e nothing more than the ablative singular of vesper, " evening," a noun of the third declension.. 686 ON WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS. the hour (or time) of going to bed," that is, " at bedtime " hor se xtd, " at the sixth hour," or at six o'clock; vledic nocte, "at midnight." If we use the noun in the plural, the rule is the same: e.g. alternis dicbis, "every other day:" literally, "on alternate days;" sing, lis voctibuts, "in each of the nights," that is, "every night;" in all of which examples, as it will be seen, the noun and adjective (whenever it has an adjective) are put in the ablative. RULE FOURTH.-Nouns or adjectives showing How LONG, any process or course is to be continued, must be put in the accusative, usually governed by per, "through," "during," or "for:" as, lsercera per hoeram, "macerate for an hour," continltctur per s x dies, "let it be continued for six days," coque per quadrantem hoere, "boil for a quarter of. an hour," etc. Prepositions governing the Accusative, Ad, to, or at; also, according to: as, ad defec- I "sewed up in linen" (applied to certain tio'nern an'imi, "to fainting." powders, poultices, etc.). An'te, before: as, an'te de.c'bitzum, "before Per, through, by, during, for: as, per hloranm, lying down:" i.e. before going to bed. "for an hour," etc. Con'tra, against: as, con'tra vetr'ees, " against Post, after: as, post par-'tum, "after parturiwormsi:" i.e. anthelmintic. tion." In, when it signifies to, or into,* governs the Pr-e'ter, beyond, exceedin.g: as, prwT~ter natu'acacusative: as, te're il pll'verem, "rub or ramu, "beylo nd or contrary to [the usual grind to a powder;" contun'ile in mas'sain, course of] nature."'beat into a mass." Secutn'dum, according to: as, secsun'dsum ar'tem, In'fla, below: as, in.fra ortbitans, "below or "according to [the rulesl of art." beneath the orbit." Sub, near, towards: as, sub fi'nesn, "near the In'ter, betwleein: as, in'ter scap'ulas, "between end." the shoulders." Su'per, oei, or upon: as, suleper paoC'nu7n (or In'tra, ini, or within: as, ino lin'tezcut consutusnm, alu'tanm) exten'de,." spread upon cloth (or leather)." Prepositions governing the Ablative, A, ab, or abs, from, by: as, vis a tcr'go, "force In, when it signifies simply in or on* (and canfronl behind;" ab edl par'te, "froiii that part." not be rendered by into): as, in ventricilao, Curn, swith: as, hydirar'gyru2c)) ic cue ce'td, "in the stomach;" in u'tero, "in the ute" ilercury with chalk." rus." De, fromi, of: as, de di'e in di'emi, " from day to Pro, for, according to: as, sumnta'tur pro po'tu, day." "let it be taken for [or as] a drink;" pro re E, or ex, out, fros, out of: as, detrahaturz e sna'td, "according to circumstances." brachtio sanrguis, " let blood be drawn from Sub, when it signifies simply sunder or beneath, the arm:" mas'sea ex hydlrarcgyro, "mass |without any idea of motion to or towards a [prepared] out of mercury." place or thing (see note to In). The table following comprises the most important of those Latin verbs which are likely to be used in writing prescriptions, directions, etc. By observing the power or signification of the different moods and tenses, as explained at the beginning of the table (see Do, da'rc, Cotlo, cola're, etc.), the learner will be able to apply the same to such other verbs as he may meet with. Thus, if he knows that det'raho signifies to "draw" (compare ex'traho, of the third conjugation), he would know that det'rahat must mean "be mea n "he may draw," or "let him draw," and detralha'tur (in * To make the proper distinction between in governing the accusative, and in governing the ablative, at first seems difficult; but it is only necessary to consider the sense in which it is used. Whenever there is an idea of passing or changing from one place or state into another, in is fobllowed by the accusative: e.g. red'ige ins pul'veremc, "reduce to powder:" here, the idea implies a.change from one state to another; so injicia'tur in ventric'uluisa, "let it be thrown into the stomach," in which case the change is fronm one place to another. But if we speak of a thing being already in a certain place or state, the preposition is invariably followed by the ablative: as, in ventric'ulo, "in the stonmach;" in u'tero,' in the uterus;" in ptl'vere, "in powder or dust." In English, speakinig familiarly, we somletines use " in" for "into," but in writing Latin we must always consider the idea as above explalined; for, whether we say, pour the liquor in the bottle, into the bottle, the mlealning is the same; therefore we must say in Latin,tun'de liquo'rem in lage'nanc, never in lage'nsd. 687 ACTIVE VOICE.

Properly s)eaking, facio ihas no passive form, this being supplied bv the irreguclar neuter verbfio, which will be noticed more particularly on next page. The infinitive and fllture participle passive-e.g. darti and dadslus, colari and colandus, et(:.-are translated into English by the saime words, "to hegivenr," "to be strained," = but there is an essential difference between the two.: tte first is the sinlple infinitive, as occurs in such phrases as the following:-jtssit dari, he ordeled it to be given;" potest faeil D colari, " it cacr easily be straired:" but the other always implies that something must or ought to be done: as, Hujus misturce danda sunt cochlearia duo,' of this mixture two spoonfuls are to be given," or " must be given." ON WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS. the passive), "it may be drawn," or "let it be drawn." So rejif'io, to "reject" (compare adclji'io), if put in the subjunctive present (rejiq'iat), would signify "he [or it] may reject;" in the passive (rejicia'tacr), "it may be rejected," etc. So ejiv'io, to "eject;" isjig'io, to "inject [or throw into]," etc. etc. It is important, however, always to note the conjugation to which a verb belongs; for while those of the first conjugation form the present subjunctive third person in -et (or -ent), the others form it in -at (or -aint). We need scarcely remark, that if the student wishes fully to master this branch of the subject, he will have to commence the study of Latin in earnest, which, indeed, he ought by all means to do, if his circumstances and time permit. The comparatively brief instructions here given, are intended for those who have not time to study the subject very fully; or else to teach such as may already possess some knowledge of Latin, how to apply that knowledge most advantageously in their medical and pharmaceutical studies. It should be observed that the third person plural of the subjunctive present (as well as of several other tenses) is formed by inserting n before the t of the singular: thus, det, "he may give;" dent, "they may give;" so ca'piat or sul'slat, "he may take;" ca'pialt or ste'cmant, "they may take." In like manner, in the passive, i is added to form the plural: accordingly, de'tul; capin'tur, s8zlma'tuLr, are changed to den'tulr, cacpi'ci'tulr, su2inas' tur, etc. Fi'o, fi'eri, an irregular verb, signifying to "be made," to "become," to "be," is much used in prescriptions, but nearly always in the subjunctive present: as, singular, fi'at, "it may be made," "let it be mnade," or "let there be made;" plural, fi'anrt, "they may be made," "let them be made," or "let there be made:" e.g. fi'at.mistu'ra, "let a mixture be- made;" fi'at pillt'lt dclod'ecisb, "let twelve pills be made," etc. The fillowing are some of the most important Latin terms and phrases (not. hitherto explained) used in prescriptions, directions, etc.: — A bsen'tefe'bre, "fever being absent" (or "in I Cy'athus (second declension, masculine), a the absence of fever').

Manip'l tuis, a "lhandful." ~ When coc7tlea're is used by itself,-that is, without any qua lifying word, such as mne'dium, or riin'imun,-it is to be understood as signifying a " tablespoonful." It would, however, be better always to mention the kind of spoonful; for even when the medicine is of that character that a little more or less might not be attended with any serious consequences, it is always satisfatctory to the patient or attendants to have explicit directions. 690 ON WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS.

If, however, the ternlmination is changed, it is obvious that the declension lmust be different; bihol'rimo,G tlrilho'riium, etc., being neuter nouns of the second declension, are declined like ligamenttunz, on page 663. 691 TABLE OF DOSES, FOR ADULTS.

As03 is the formula of arsenious acid, a compound consisting of one equivalent of arsenic and three equivalents of oxygen. NO, is the representative of anhydrous nitric acid, indicating that it is composed of one equivalent of nitrogen (N) combined with five equivalents of oxygen (0). The number of equivalents of an elementary substance is usually indicated by a small depressed figure following the symbol, as seen in the previous examples; but the number of equivalents of any compound is denoted by a large figure placed before the formula: thus, 3 HO + 2 NO5 is the foresu!la of the officinal (hydrated) nitric acid, indicating that it is composed of three equivalents of water (HO) combined with two equivalents of nitric acid (NO,). 59* f97 TABLE OF DISPUTED PRONUNCIATIONS; WITHI THE PRINCIPAL AUThIORITIES IN FAVOR OF EACH.

Some writers have Aoxeia (locheia), others,,A.yia (lochia); so Cadrliat has two forIns in Greek, KaSlEcia and Kasuta. It i. to be observed that the penultimate accent is given to this name considered simply as a Latin (or classical) word. ii Author of an excellent Oordoo (iHindostanee) Dictionary, published at Serampore in 1838. This pronunciation (mlu-dar') is not only supporte.d by the original IIindostanee spelling, but it is confirmed by the prevatiling English spelling, Mltdar, which clan scarcely be reconciled with the supposition thlat the eu in the first syllable is long. See Calotropis Gigyantea in Wood & Bache's Dispensatory. ~ Author of a valuable workl entitled " Iateria Indica," London, 1826. ** Liddell and Scott give the penultinma as undo)ubtedly long —hXeKpavov. General usage, however, seems to be in favor of Oleceranron; and if we niaty attach any weight to the Greek accent, this pronunciation can at least be defended.

There is one class of names, about the pronunciation of which considerable diversity prevails, that have not been introduced into the preceding table, because there seems reason to believe that the diversity in question has rather been the result of inadvertency than of any deliberate difference of judgment among scientific writers. We allude to those terminating in -cra derived from a proper name in -er: as, Brayera (from Brayer), Frasera (from Fraser), Heuschera (from Heucher), etc. Some of our best authorities are not always consistent with themselves with respect to this class of names, but, if we mistake not, the general tendency is decidedly in favor of the penultimate accent. The United States Pharmacopoeia gives Braye'ra and Frase'ra with the penultimate accent, but Heuc'chera with the antepenultimate. The last is, not improbably, an oversight; for though something might be said in favor of making a difference between Brayera and the other two names, inasmuch as the last syllable of Brayer is long in French, there can be no good reason for making a distinction between Frasera and Heuchera, as the last syllable in both Fraser and Heucher is short. But the reason would not be a good one in any case; the name of LUTHER, the celebrated Reformer, has the last syllable short in German (Lusthir), yet when Latinized becomes Luthe'rus, and in the Italian and Spanish, cognate languages, it is always Ltute'ro.t In consideration of all these reasons and facts, we have deemed it best to adopt a uniform rule, and always to place the accent on the penultima of names of the class above referred to: e.g. Braye'ac, Frase'ra, feuche'ra, olttle'ra, etc. etc. * In this instance, Dr. Mayne, who is generally so accurate in regard to his Latin and Greek quantities, would seem to be guilty of a palpable inconsistency, since he gives the parallel term Larys7pgeus with the pennltima long. It is, however, proper to observe that this whole class of words (including Anconeus, Parotideues, etc.) are doubttil as to the length of the penultina, which there seems to be no means of determining positively. Even the light of analogy, dubious at best, utterly fails us here: while gigoante'us has the penultima unquestionably long, ce'r eats, cite'?reus, ido'neus, etc. have it short. t It is a great mistake to suppose that a Latinized modern name must follow either the quantity or accent of the original. This indeed is the exception, the contrary being the general rule; at least with respect to names of Teutonic origin: Fred'eric makes Frederi'cus, Its7'uy (German, Hein'rich), Henri'cus, Lud'wig, Lcldovi'cus, iil'ton, Miltonsus, etc. 699 CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES ACCORDING TO CULLEN'S NOSOLOGY.
