Four volumes of notes by an unidentified student on the materia medica lectures of Benjamin Smith Barton, delivered at the University of Pennsylvania. Lecture topics include astringents, tonics, stimulants, emetics, cathartics, diuretics, antilithics, anthelmintics, emmenagogues, blisters and their therapeutic use in the treatment of various diseases. Date range determined by internal references to the later part of 1805 and the fact that Barton ceased to be professor of materia medica in 1812.
