Description

"Brunswig Drug Co's Encyclopedia" (Los Angeles: Brunswig Drug Co.,) 1908. The item is subtitled "A Treasury of Ready Reference and Useful Information for Retail Druggists" and includes an introductory statement, a brief company history, lists of household remedies, formulas for animals, formulas for various preparations, common and botanical names for plant materials, tables of prescription doses, the state pharmacy law, lists of phramacy boards and schools, and much more. There are many advertisements from drug manufacturers and related companies. The work was later bound in a library cloth, which is bumped, but generally clean, as are most pages, so the condition is good.
