Excerpt from The American Homoeopathic PharmacopoeiaNeither of these, however, is exactly adapted to meet the requirements of the practitioners in this country for various reasons. The former adopts the innovation of prescribing that the tinctures should contain in ten parts the soluble matter of one part of the dry plant. This rule if adopted, would necessitate a careful drying of all fresh plants in order to calculate their percentage of water. This, in our estima tion, would needlessly complicate the process, it looks well enough in theory but is tedious and difficult of practical exe cution. In other respects this is a work of great merit and bears evidence of very careful preparation and of high schol arship. In Dr. Schwabe's Polyglotts on the other hand the rules laid down by Hahncmann for the preparation of the remedies are closely followed, and remedies introduced after his time are brought under the same rules as far as practica ble, however, no descriptions of plants are given, or of the chemical processes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
