J12 PEESCEIPTION WKITING 



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 

 ohum gossipii seminis; oleum, genitive ole-i, of oil; gossypivm, 

 genitive gossypi-i, of cotton; semen, genitive semin-is, of 

 seed. The Latin for solution of lime is liquor calcis ; 

 liquor, genitive liquor-is, of liquor ; calx, genitive calc-is, of 

 lime. 



Liquoris calcis. 



Olei gossypii seminis aa | iii. 



Misce et fiat linimentum. 



Translated : Mix and let there be made a liniment. 



(Abbreviated) M. et f . liniment.
