Corners bumped, light foxing to endpapers, browning to page edges, very good in custom archival mylar cover. FROM THE PREFACE: "Materia Medica is a living subject and not fixed by any means. It is changing from day to day- Some theories are accepted one day and rejected another. Doctors often differ as to what should be done for the patients in differenT circumstances; which drugs are of value, and whit are useless or even harmful. The particular drugs themselves are unimportant; it is the drugs that the nurse uses and sees used in her particular hospital which should be learned. Let this book be a guide rather to the study of any drugs, emphasizing not so much what drugs are used, but why and when and how."

SISTER ALMA (died 1983) whose given name was Marie Alma Marie Louise Le Duc, was a French Catholic religious sister. She was a member of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Her date of birth is unknown.
