| Description Of Item | The book contains: 'the names of the wards as they stand in the Doctors books'; 'Catalogus medicament in usum pauperum in Noscomio Divi Thomae' - an index to medicines used in the entries in the rest of the volume; 'Catalogus medicament e Pharmaco. Lond [London]' - a list of medicines and references to the London Pharmacopeia; and the prescriptions. The front flyleaf is inscribed 'Doctor Thomson's Book' but the back flyleaf is inscribed 'Rickerd Gordon 4 June 1813'. There are also some other notes by Robert and Richard Gordon so there is some doubt as to authorship of the volume. |
