The great change, which influences every part of this edition,
is the direction of the College, to determine every thing
by weight. The liquid menStrua are therefore never meaSured, and the quantities
are conSequently apparently varied. The names of the neutral Salts are
changed, and better adapted
to their real nature. The cupr. ammoniacale and the tart.
emet. which they have called tartarus antimonialis, with Some
others, are differently prepared. As the latter is very frequently
employed, and, as the recipe feems remarkably accurate,
we Shall inSert it.
'R CauSticum antimon. vel butyri antimon. q. v. inSunde in
aquam Servidam, in qua Salis alkalini fixi vegetabilis purificati tantundem
prius fuerit Solutum, ut praecipitatur pulv. antim. qui, probe ablutus,
exciccetur. Dein aquae libris quinque, adde hujus pulveris, drachmas novem, cryttallor. Tart.
pulv. uncias duas, cum SemiSSe ; coque pauliSper donec folvantur pulveres,
Solutio cocta lente vaporet in vaSe vitreo, ad

We Shall alSo beg leave to infert a neat and expeditious method of
preparing the animal oil, which we have great reaSon
to expect will be a very efficacious medicine.
'Oleum e Cornubus Rectificatum, five Oleum Animale.
'R. Olei empyreumatici e cornubus animalium deStillati recentis, q. v.
'DiStillet ex matracio, capitello infStrueto, igne leni, quamiiu prodit
oleum tenue coloris expers, quod ope aqua; a fale et Spiritu alcalino purgetur.
Ut limpidum et fincerum reStet hos
oleum, in phialis parvis omnino repletis et inverSis Servari debet, cuique
vaSculo prius inStillatis aliquot aquae guttis, ut, inSverfo vaSculo, haec
inter oleum et vaSis obturaculum interjaceat.'
The external remedies are almoft entirely changed in their
forms, as well as more SyStematically deScribed. But while
it is impoSSible even to hint at all the alterations, or to point
out the feveral improvements, it is no lefs difficult, in our
confined limits, to offer thoSe remarks which have occurred to
us. This DiSpenfatory, though a Strong proof of the attention
of that reSpectable School to the improvement of their
art, is Still in Some parts defective ; but, in general, the forms
are neat and elegant, frequently accurate, and well adapted, to
their particular purpoSes.
