Graduate of Cleveland Medical College, Member of THE Ohio State Medical Society, and Mem- ber OF THE American Med- ical Association. \ ^^ y\. Entered according to an Act of Congress, in the year 1882, by A. McMillan, M. D., of Oberlin, Ohio, in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. All rights reserved. H PREFACE, In compiling this work the object has been to take from the latest and most reliable sources, valuable formulas, that have been proven, upon the following subjects : Medicines, Farriery, Cookery, Toilet, and Miscella7ieous, containing in all about two thousand recipes, written in plain English with directions fully given, and use explicitly stated. The author being a medi- cal man of long and large experience, confidently hopes, and expects, that in this little book there is supplied a long felt want There are no drawn out essays upon any subject ; each formula is a distinct idea of itself, so that the purchaser gets solid facts, in a crystalized form ; and as there are two thousand of them, the cost of each is one 7nill, or ten for one cent, which makes this book undoubtedly the cheapest one of the kind ever offered to the people. As the work is not the authorsmp of any one person, it is therefore only claimed that it is a careful compilation, and hoping that it may have a kind reception and be of great use in the house- hold, I have the honor to subscribe myself Respectfully, Alex. McMillan, M. D. INDEX. MEDICAL DIVISION. PAGE.
