"Lemery's chief contributions to pharmacy were his two complementary works, the Pharmacopée universelle and Drogues simples. These are alphabetically arranged lists of composites and simples respectively giving the sources, virtues, doses, and therapeutic action of the various medicaments. They represent a comprehensive dictionary of pharmaceuticals" (DSB). - Wellcome III, p. 488.€ 150
