   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 pelliculam ut crystalli formentur.'
   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.
