"New Remedies, and Illustrated Monthly Trade Journal of Materia Medica, Pharmacy and Therapeutics," Vol. VII, edited by Fred'k A. Castle and Charles Rice, is a substantial 19th-century volume documenting the world of materia medica, pharmacy, therapeutics, and the pharmaceutical trade. This volume brings together twelve monthly issues from January through December 1879, with a 14-page index for the consecutively numbered issue pages, along with twelve 8-page monthly price lists for the “New York Drug Market,” bound as pink sheets at the end of the index. The volume contains many in-text illustrations, as well as two colored hemisphere maps bound at the end of the September issue.
