T M Balliet's notes taken down by an unidentified student. Balliet had appointments at Dartmouth Medical School and had been the Attending Physician at the Old Man's Home in Philadelphia (founded 1864). He lectured on Therapeutics, i.e., the physiological relations of various medicines rather than their chemical properties, along with the different methods of administration. A number of commercial medicines are mentioned as are general groups. The text is specific, detailed, and very informative concerning the expectations when applied to specific illnesses. The notes are comprehensive, e.g., moving from strychnine through electricity.
