    PHARMACOPOEIA. PART I. CONTAINING THE GENERAL RULES. § 1. PREFATORY REMARKS. The adequate and perfectly reliable preparation ot the remedial agents is of the utmost importance to physicians of every school, but more particularly to homoeopathic physicians on account of the minuteness of the doses with which they operate. It is, therefore, indispensable, that every one who undertakes to prepare homoeopathic medicines, should be thoroughly acquainted with the demands of tht homoeopathic healing art; for, without this know- ledge, it is impossible that we should be able to pre- pare the homoeopathic remedial agents in the true spirit and in conformity with the rules of that science. After premising these remarks, which we recom- mend to the consideration of pharmaceutists, we will now furnish a brief description of the utensils and the operations intervening in, and required for the prepa- ration of homoeopathic remedial agents. The utensils used by homoeopathic pharmaceutists are the same as those that are found in every well arranged pharmacy, except that they require to be used with more care.
