This is an unrecorded, later and smaller edition, of a once very popular handbook ' .. with Plain Rules for taking the Medicines in the Cure of Diseases' first published circa 1830. However, most editions have the title - 'Cox's companion to the Family Medicine Chest .....'. It is generally thought the author was possibly an Edward Cox, but research indicates there was an ' Elizabeth Cox, Medical Bookseller, 26 & 27, St. Thomas Street, London' is it possibly her who was the initial author ? and sometime later revised by a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons.] Surprisingly the Library Hub Discover and OCLC First Search (both on-line 8/ 2025) do not locate any copies with this exact title.
