THE DISPENSATORY of The United States Of America
Twentieth Edition Entered, according to the Act of Congress, in the year 1877, By George B. Wood, M.D. In the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington Copyright: 1888, 1894, 1899, 1907 1918 This 2010 page book (7" x 10.5"), containing 35 pages of "Index of Diseases", and a 167-page index of substances used to remedy illness of the day. The extensive list of "substances" included: plant, mineral/element, chemical formulas, and yes - of course Colloidal silver. Because Doctors, Hospitals and Clinics used this book, each entry usually has associated with it the preparation and administration of the substance. A couple notes of antiquity. Thomas Graham is credited in 1862 with originating the term "crystalloid" and "colloid". There were 5 widely used preparations of colloidal silver. After briefly reading this book, one can't help to wonder how many natural cures, beside CS, have been lost in the pages of history books. I will in the next few days scan & upload to a website the applicable pages on Colloidal Silver. Ron N
