The content of the book comprises monographs of the compounds detailing its origins, the parts of the pig used, the uses of the compounds, how it is administered and possible adverse effects.

The book also highlights the alternative sources from which the compounds may be manufactured. In addition, the therapuetic categories of the compounds and brief narratives are included.
