"Merck's Manual" is an alphabetized compendium of medicines and their descriptions, maladies and their descriptions, along with descriptions of therapeutic approaches for treating the known health conditions at the time of the printing of each edition. The editors of the book expanded their scope dramatically between the first and fifth edition, and you can see that the content of the book more than doubled in size over that time period.

These books reveal that at the turn of the century, pharmacology was in the fascinating position of utilizing both herbal and folk or traditional remedies for treatment of medical conditions, but also what would have been cutting edge chemistry. Therefore, these books are not just for doctors and allopaths - they offer a window into the world of herbal medicine, natural medicine and traditional or folk medicine, where you will find remedies that likely still work but are no longer widely discussed. These books offer a fascinating opportunity to look for re-purposed medicines and previously popular cures.

This collection of five books was made from scans of the original hardcovers. The scans are generally sharp and clear. A huge index has been added to help readers navigate to precise points within each book. The other Kindle editions of Merck are not indexed like this, therefore this edition may be invaluable for those wanting to use the books for research and quick-lookup.
