iv PREFACE.

ical literature, as they appear to be with the derivation, the meaning and the pronunciation of the

techn ical ities wi th which our l iterature perhapsunnecessarily abounds.

But when it is recollected that heretofore no at

tempt has been made by any author of an English

Medical Lexicon, to give the pronunciation of med

ical terms, only so far as to indicate the accent, we

ought rather to be astonished that more errors havenot obtained than are met with .

Students heretofore have had no guide in this

regard, except the usages of their preceptor and thoProfessors of the Col leges, who also have some

times failed to be ent irely reliable, and hence theamusing mistakes so often discoverable in their

conversation. A knowledge of the Phonotypic al

phabet, which they can acquire in a few hours at

the farthest, will enable them to entirely conqueral l the difficulties in the way of a correct pro

nunciation .

The definitions in the pages of this work havebeen made as brief as clearness, definiteness and

accuracy would allow,— and for the following rea

sons. No one expects to learn all he wishes to

know upon any professional subject by a simplereference to h is Dictionary. With a l ibrary at

his command, he expects from his Lexicon to oh

tain the meaning, and the pronunciation of the

terms employed by the author, and only for this

does he consult its paves. But while the larger

PREFACE .

works of Hobelyn, Hooper, Grant, Coxe, Dunglison,and others, fully answer in many instances this desire, they tend, by their very copiousness, to distrac t attention from the ideas presented by the

author; for while a person is reading the long dis

sertations appended to many terms, his mind is ledfar astray from the work he is perusing, and sometimes he entirely loses sight of the argument or

train of thought, and he returns to its pages witha very vague knowledge of the terms employed, as

well as a loss of the thread of the argument.

The same reasons for making the definitions asbrief as lucidity would permit, has induced the

author to make no reference to the derivation of

words, except that he has in most instances introduced the rad ical in common romanic type, in con

nection with the words derived from it. When thederivation is desired, the large Medical Lexicon of

Prof. Dunglison, wh ich may be found in most

Libraries, will suply the deficiency.

In addition to the matter which properly demands admittance into the pages of a D ictionary,an Addendum is presented, containing the Abbreviaticus found in Prescriptions, with the terms andphrases from which they are derived, together witha free translation of those terms and phrases intoEnglish .

This last will enable medical Students and

Druggists to read the directions appended to pre

vi ranrAcE.

soriptions, and will be found peculiarly serviceableto those engaged in dispensing medicine.

There is also appended a short treatise on the

Management of Cases of Po isoning, followed by anAlphabetical list of Poisons and their Antidotes, bymeans of wh ich the most approved methods of

treatment, as well as the most approved antido tes,

can be learned almost at a glance.

With the h0pe that the plan and scope of this

work will meet the approbation of those for whomit was designed, it is now submitted to their con

sideration by.

EXPLANATIONOFTHEPHONETICALPHABET.

All who have thought of the matter are awarethat there is very l i ttle analogy between the spel ling of words and their pronunciation, especial ly inthe Engl ish language; the resul t of which is, thatno one can tell the spel l ing of an unfami liar wordfrom hearing it pronounced, or pronounce such a

word from seeing its spell ing; hence the necess ityfor Pronouncing

I

l)ictionaries, and the almos t ceaseless dril l ing of ch ildren in the difficul t task of readin and spell ing correctly.

fihis want of cons istency between orthographyand pronunciation is the resul t of us ing an imperfeet alphabet, containing but twenty-six letters forthe represen tat ion of forty-three elementary sounds.

By the rejection of three redundant letters, c, g, at )and the addit ion of twenty new ones, and restrictingthe use of each of the forty-three to the represen

tation of a single sound, a simplp and philosophicalorthography is established, Wt h makes spel lingand pronunciation synonimous. and the art of reading very simple and easi ly acquired . (For informat ion in regard to the use of th is improved alphabetin teaching children and foreigners to read the common Engl ish orthography, address the publ ishers ofthis work .)The Alphabet thus perfected affords, of course,

the s implest means of representing pronunciation,and it is now employed for that purpose by variouspubl ishers . Theuse of figures, or diacritical marks,to indicate the ever-varying sounds of the vowels,has always proved perplexing, and driven studentsfrom the cri tical study of pronunciation . By a lit

tle observation of the alphabet on the fo l lowingge, learning the sounds of the letters from theey

-words, the pronunciation of the most strangeand difficul t terms in the Lexicon is made as manifest and easy as the most simp\e .

no means of protecting the system from their poi

sonous effects , except by speedily removing them,or involving them in some al buminous, or mucilaginous or oleaginous substance, which shal l preventtheir being absorbed into the circulating fluid , until means are adopted for their removal .When a patient has taken a poisonous dose of an

irritant poison, he should have administered at once.a small draught of demulcent, mucilaginous, ohagz

'

noas, or albuminous matter, made thick, and atthe ordinary temperature. The stomach should

never be over distended, or supplied with warm

drinks, as , otherwise its distended and relaxedcondition would favor the absorption of the poison.

As soon as possible, an Emett'c should be given;but great care should be taken, to select an agent

that shall act p romptly and without causing nau

sea— promptly, as no time can be lost ;and withoutnausea

, as all emetics that induce nausea are slow

in their action, and by their sedative influencegreatlyfavor instead of prevent the absorption of

the offending substance.

principle is Alkaloid, as wel l as most, if not all Animal poisons. They are very active, destructiveagents, actingupon the system of the patient as well

as the poison, and hence should be administered

with caution, but perseveringly. CHARCOAL having great absorbent powers,maybeused with entiresafety,and inunl imiwd quantities, and should neverbe neglected where other and more certainly protective measures cannot be resorted to .

Al though charc oal has not often been used as anantido te for Vegetable and Animal poisons, the experiments of Graham, Warrington, Bertrand, Gar

rod, Leboudais, and others, incontestibly prove thatit is capable of absorbing, and retaining the

'

active

principles of most organic poisons.The quantity of the agent absorbed is sometimes

relatively smal l, and hence, very large quantitiesof fresh ly pulverized charcoal should be used as an

absorbent.Charcoal forms inert compounds with some of the

most deadly poisons, as the ac tive principle of the

poppy,hyoscyamus,nux vom ica, prussicac id,arsenicaconite, and all the more ac tive Vegetable poisons,and some experiments would tend to establish thefact, that it may also prove beneficial in cases of

poisoning from animal venom, and from decaying

animal matter.

The names of many poisons are introduced into

the list, to which no antidote has yet been discovered; but the space may be filled by each reader.
