Excerpt from Practical Prescribing and Dispensing: For Medical Students It is not unusual to hear a complaint that medical students receive an education which is defective, in so far as relates to the writing of prescriptions. There are some who even venture to say that the present great vogue of factory-made medicines among medical practitioners is due to this defect. The facilities provided in many schools of medicine for the teaching of this subject are so scanty as to lead one to think that the complaint is not altogether without foundation; and the books dealing with it are, in not a few instances, lacking in definitentss of aim. The medical man neither requires a training in the methods of tincture making, nor in the manufacture of sulphuric acid; still less does he need to be taught how to dispense incompatible prescriptions. These are branches of pharmacy which may well be left to the pharmacist. In order, however, to be able to avail himself of the ample resources of the national Pharmacopoeia, and to equip himself so as to be independent of the compound mysteries of the drug factory, he should have, in the course of his curriculum, opportunities for acquiring proficiency in the writing of prescriptions, of making a practical acquaintance with the various forms in which medicines are administered, and of learning how to avoid the prescribing of incompatible drugs.

Hardback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Practical Prescribing and Dispensing: For Medical Students The Imperial System of weights and measures is official for the purposes of the British Pharmacopoeia; but for convenience in prescribing and dispensing some of the denominations of the apothecaries' weights are retained in use because the avoirdupois ounce of 4375 grains is not a simple multiple of a grain, and does not, therefore, admit of easy subdivision.
