Physicians who prescribe Pharmacopeial or National +Formulary drugs or preparations, therefore, are more likely to obtain a +good and constant quality than if they prescribe unofficial articles, +i.e., articles that have no legalized standard. Hence medical men are +interested in knowing what drugs and preparations are included in these +two books of standards. Both the Pharmacopeia and the National +Formulary, however, contain a vast amount of technical information, of +value to pharmacists but of little interest to physicians. The Journal +of the American Medical Association in 1907 issued the "Physicians' +Manual of the U.S. Pharmacopeia and National Formulary," a book designed +to meet the needs of physicians in this respect. The fact that this book +did meet a real need is evidenced by the continued demand for it. + +The present "Epitome of the U.S. Pharmacopeia and National Formulary" +takes the place of that book, but is based on the new (the ninth) +revision of the Pharmacopeia and the new (the fourth) edition of the +National Formulary. It has been prepared under the direction of a +committee appointed by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the +American Medical Association. The aim has been to include all the matter +in the Pharmacopeia and National Formulary which is likely to be of +interest to physicians. This, it is believed, consists of the official +titles and their abbreviations; synonyms; brief definitions; when +necessary, concise descriptions of the physical properties; and dosage. +Since both the Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary include many +drugs and preparations which are irrational, superfluous or worthless, +in many cases the medical members of the committee have added brief +comments to aid a discriminating selection of therapeutic agents. + +In this epitome drugs are arranged alphabetically by Pharmacopeial or +National Formulary titles; preparations of drugs are placed under the +drugs themselves. Thus Tinctura Digitalis is placed not among the Ts, +but among the Ds under Digitalis. Names of drugs are in black-face type; +names of preparations are in light-face italics. An index is added to +assist in ready reference. + +Statements of composition refer in some cases to percentage by volume, +in others to percentage by weight, and in still others to percentage by +weight-volume--that is, the weight of a given chemical contained (or the +weight of a given vegetable drug represented by extractives) in 100 Cc. +of the preparation. It has not been thought worth while to indicate +whether the statement in each case is by volume, weight or +weight-volume, since the differences are too small to have any +therapeutic importance. Statements of alcoholic content refer to +percentage by volume and are approximate only. In a few instances in +which the quantity of alcohol in a dose is small, or in which the +preparation is intended for external use, the alcohol content is not +stated. + +DOSAGE statements, when followed by the letters "U.S.P." or "N.F.," are +taken from these books, respectively, and are understood to be the +average adult doses. In some cases in which this statement was felt to +be inadequate or unsatisfactory, further suggestions as to dosage have +been added. + + + + +PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION + + +The text of this edition is the same as that of the first, except that a +few typographical errors which were in the first edition have been +corrected. + +The new edition differs from the first in the following particulars: + +In the first edition, a star indicates that the drug is included in the +second (1916) edition of Useful Drugs. To bring the present edition up +to date, the star (*) here indicates that the drug is included in the +fifth (1921) edition of Useful Drugs. + +In compliance with the opinion expressed by some that a more complete +index would be helpful, the index to the second edition has been +materially extended. It is hoped that this will help to familiarize +those who purchase the book with its contents. + + + + +TABLES OF METRIC AND APOTHECARIES' WEIGHTS AND MEASURES + + +METRIC MEASURES OF WEIGHT + + 1 Milligram (1 mg.) = 0.001 gram. + 1 Centigram = 0.01 gram. + 1 Decigram = 0.1 gram. + 1 Gram (1 Gm.) = 1.[A] + 1 Decagram = 10 grams. + 1 Hektogram = 100 grams. + 1 Kilogram (1 kg.) = 1000 grams.[B] + + A: The weight of 1 cubic centimeter of water at 4 C. + + B: The weight of 1 cubic decimeter of water at 4 C. + + +METRIC FLUID MEASURE + + 1 Milliliter (1 cubic centimeter, 1 Cc.) = 0.001 cubic decimeter. + 1 Centiliter (10 Cc.) = 0.01 cubic decimeter. + 1 Deciliter (100 Cc.) = 0.1 cubic decimeter. + 1 Liter (1000 Cc.) = 1 cubic decimeter. + + +APOTHECARIES' WEIGHT + + 20 Grains = 1 scruple. + 3 Scruples = 1 drachm. + 8 Drachms = 1 ounce. + 12 Ounces = 1 pound. + + +APOTHECARIES' FLUID MEASURE + + 60 Minims = 1 fluidrachm. + 8 Fluidrachms = 1 fluidounce. + 16 Fluidounces = 1 pint. + + +EQUIVALENTS OF APOTHECARIES' WEIGHT IN METRIC + + 1 Grain = 0.06479895 Gm. + 1 Drachm = 3.8879369 Gm. + 1 Ounce = 31.1034956 Gm. + 1 Pound = 373.241948 Gm. + + +EQUIVALENTS OF APOTHECARIES' FLUID MEASURE IN METRIC + + 1 Minim = 0.06161 Cc. + 1 Fluidrachm = 3.6966 Cc. + 1 Fluidounce = 29.573 Cc. + 1 Pint = 473.17 Cc. + + +EQUIVALENTS OF METRIC WEIGHT IN APOTHECARIES' + + 0.001 Gm.
