Excerpt from The National Formulary of Unofficial Preparations

When the present Committee on National Formulary was a appointed in 1880, the "Formulary" has just been issued, and embraced practically all preparations in established use for which no uniform or authoritative standard existed. The work was as nearly perfect as could be expected, but it was not to be supposed that so large a number of formulas as are embraced by the "Formulary" should proved uniformly satisfactory. As a matter of fact, the most frequent complaints that reached the Committee were made with reference to the imperfection - real or supposed - of certain formulas. These complaints have been carefully considered, and the necessary corrections have been made in all cases in which complaints were found to be just.

Another source of complaint that finds voice quite frequently is that too many of the preparations are dependent upon each other; that is to say, that in order to make one preparation, two, three or more other preparations have to be made before the one desired can be compounded. This defect is true only in a restricted sense, and does not entail the inconvenience that is generally implied in the complaints. As already pointed out in the preface to the original edition (p. v.) only a few preparations of the "Formulary" are so concerned, and these are inexpensive, and are easily kept in a well assorted stock. It is, therefore, suggested that the following preparation be kept ready prepared:

Aromatic Elixir (U. S. P.).

Aromatic Elixir of Liquorice (F. 77).

Compound Elixir of Taraxacum (F. 111).

Compound Spirit of Orange (U. S. P.).

Compound Spirit of Cardamon (F. 347).

Compound Tincture of Cudbear (F. 419).

Solution of Cochnineal (F. 216).
