DISTINGUUNTUR 
asterisco  medicamentorum  formulas, 
quas  apud  commune  operarium  pras- 
parari  et  componi  debent;  casteras 
inter  nosocomiorum  officinas  sunt 
extempore  miscendas. 
Plurimas  sunt  formulas  solidas  et 
siccas  quas  commodius  vel  saltern  ele- 
gantius  liquida  forma  adhiberi  pos- 
sent,  nisi  defuerit  imprimis  phiala- 
rura  copia ;  et  omnia,  quas  minus 
efficacia,  pro  recipienttbus  vel  causa 
elegantias  tantum  usui  sunt,  quales 
aquas  simplices,  &c.  variaque  em- 
plastra  et  unguenta  vix  necessaria 
aut  utilia,  transportandi  incommodo 
vitare  velimus.

With  an  asterisk,  are  denoted  such 
prescriptions,  as  ought  to  be  prepared 
and  compounded  in  the  general  labo- 
ratory, the  others  are  to  be  mixed 
for  the  occasion  at  the  office  of  the 
hospitals. 
There  are  very  many  prescriptions 
of  medicines,  solid  and  dry,  which 
might  be  afforded  more  convenient 
for  use,  or,  at  any  rate,  more  elegantly, 
in  a  liquid  form,  were  there  not  want- 
ing for  this  a  sufficiency  of  phials ; 
and  all  such  preparations  as  are  less 
efficacious,  or  for  patients  made  use 
of  only  for  the  sake  of  elegance, 
such  as  simple  waters,  etc.  and  vari- 
ous plasters  and  unguents  hardly 
necessary  or  useful,  from  the  incon- 
venience of  transportation,  it  is  our 
desire  to  avoid. 
Lititz,  March  12,  1778.
