As seen in Fig. 7, crossovers[93] for periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions separate the neutral and ionic regimes. The dashed line is the extrapolated behavior of the infinite chain. The narrow ionic region at small U becomes a point at U = 0 for the noninteracting system that can readily be solved exactly. Finite... 

Figure 7 Ground-state crossover, U(AC,N), of the modified Hubbard model (36), with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions for N = An and An + 2, respectively. The dashed lines are extrapolations to the infinite chain and rigorously passes through the origin. The inset shows the behavior at large site-energy A the limit A —> oo corresponds to the restricted basis in which D+2 and A-2 sites are excluded[97].

For all the dmg wholesalers and fledgling manufacturing concerns, the bulk of pharmacy care took place in either the physician s office or, in more cosmopolitan settings, the apothecary shop. Even by the beginning of the twentieth century, the majority of physicians stiU dispensed their own medicines. 28 They prescribed and compounded a wide variety of vegetable, mineral, and animal substances, but a review of the 1860 United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) indicates that 587 (or 67 percent) of the total number of 871 medicinal substances listed therein were botanical.29 Some of the more popular were cinchona, sometimes referred to as Pemvian bark, and its refined counterpart, sulfate of quinine, both used as antiperiodics O opium from Papaver somniferum, the powerful narcotic and anodyne (i.e., pain reliever) of choice for many physicians of the day, as well...

The 152nd Ohio Volunteers had their share of illness. On August 1, Williamson and Jobes stmggled with a particularly obstinate wave of typhoid and intermittent fevers accompanied by diarrhea. 4 Some were sent to general hospital, while others were treated with opium and antiperiodics. D. Ault, a private in Company B, for example, was treated for diarrhea and fever with cinchona and Dover s powder. Throughout the prescription book, in fact, a lot of typhoid and intermittent fevers appear in the entries most of the afQicted were sent to their quarters rather than to the hospital.
