Additional Details

The first Cuban pharmacological magazine, and one of the island's earliest medical periodicals. Only one run of this pioneering periodical can be traced in OCLC, at the University of Florida, running through 1868; we trace none at auction. Bound between Volumes I and II is a pamphlet by Fernando Paez, "Manual de farmacia practica" (Havana, 1864), possibly incomplete at 8 pages; no examples of this pamphlet appear in OCLC.
