I have not incorporated with them the results of modern researches on indigenous drugs, or my personal experience of their use. These I have reserved for a future essay. My object here has been to show the extent of knowledge attained by Hindu physicians by their own practice and observation. - [Previous: c3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c3.3) - [Next: c3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c3.5) - [Up: c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c3.4) · Pramāṇa
