This small book on Bazaar Medicines is written with the hope that it may be useful to medical men working in Indian districts, as those in medical charge of Branch District Dispensaries, Mission Dispensaries and those in private practice far away from chemist shops. It is of a very simple and practical nature and puts forward a number of definite prescriptions which can be made up from bazaar medicines. The book is divided into four chapters. In the first chapter, The author first lists the most useful bazzar medicines according to their actions. These medicines are divided as per their caption under their therapeutic conditions, such asAlternatives, Anthelmics, Antiscorbutics, and Antispasmodics.
