There is nothing of special note to consider in regard to writing 

 prescriptions for liniments. We will write a prescription for carron oil 

 as an example. 



Carron oil is composed of equal volumes of solution of lime and 

 cottonseed oil. The Latin for oil of cottonseed is oleum gossipii seminis, 

 oleum, genitive ole-i, of oil; yossypium, genitive gossypi-i, of cotton; 

 semen, genitive semin-is, of seed. The Latin for solution of lime is liquor 

 calcisj liquor, genitive liquor-is, of liquor; calx, genitive, calc-is, of lime. 



Liquoris calcis. 



Olei gossypii seminis aa S'ii. 



Misce et fiat linimentum. 

 Translated: Mix and let there be made a liniment. 

 (Abbreviated) M. et f. liniment.
