If,  in  the  examination  of  the  processes  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopeia,  he 
shall  conceive  that  its  mode  of  preparation  is  preferable,  he  shall  compare 
it  with  the  other  processes  for  the  same  preparation,  which  have  been 
employed  or  suggested  and  come  to  his  knowledge,  and  detail  its  advan- 
tages, &c. 
If  he  shall  adopt  the  formula  of  either  of  the  British  or  Continental  Euro- 
pean Pharmacopoeias  for  his  subject,  he  shall  state  his  reasons  therefor, 
and  if  he  shall  suggest  a  process  of  his  own,  or  adopt  the  formula  recom- 
mended by  another,  which  he  conceives  to  be  preferable,  he  shall  detail 
such  process  or  suggestions  for  processes  in  full,  with  his  reasons  for  his 
preference. 
All  precaution  should  be  taken  when  following  the  formula  of  the  U.  S. 
or  other  Pharmacopoeias,  according  to  directions,  in  the  employment  of 
temperature,  evaporation,  percolation,  or  maceration,  density  and  state  of 
mechanical  division,  and  menstrua  of  proper  strength,  and  also  in  the  pro- 
cesses suggested  in  the  place  of  those  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia. 
He  shall  render  a  written  report  and  submit  a  specimen  of  his  prepara- 
tion, properly  labelled  and  marked  (so  as  to  be  easily  referred  to  on  the 
file)  which  shall  be  the  property  of  the  College.
