Pharmaceutical Formulas

Abstract

“PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULAS”, which appeared as a first edition in 1898, is a collection of formulae of both old and new preparations of interest not only to pharmacists, but also to other manufacturers of articles and preparations of allied types. With the increasing scope of the book, it has been deemed necessary to publish the tenth edition in two volumes, vol. 1 being essentially pharmaceutical and medicinal, whilst vol. 2, now under review, has collected those formulae of more general and varied interest, such as cosmetics, perfumes, polishes and horticultural and agricultural preparations such as fungicides and insecticides. These sections are but a few of the many varied ones, but they probably constitute those in which the greatest advances have been made in recent years.

Pharmaceutical Formulas.

Vol. 2. Being the Chemist's Recipe Book of Formulas for Adhesives, Beverages, Cleaning Materials, Culinary and Household Requisites, Horticultural and Agricultural Preparations, Inks, Lozenges, Perfumes, Photographic Preparations, Polishes, Soaps, Toilet Articles, Varnishes, Veterinary Preparations, etc., including numerous Descriptions of Practical Methods employed in their Manufacture and other Information of use to Pharmacists and Manufacturers.
