PREFACE TO THE THIRD REVISED
EDITION.
As two former revisions of this little work have each been honored
with a call for several editions, and as there is at the same time a
palpable decrease in the sale of trade elixirs, there seems to be ample
room for the conclusion that preparations of this class are passing from
the hands of manufacturing chemists into those of the pharmacists
themselves. This fact, notwithstanding an admitted decrease in the
consumption of elixirs, will suffice to account for a third revision.
The addition of about thirty new formulæ brings the total of the
present edition to two hundred and seventy one; and, with the benefit
of experience, many of the older formulæ have been modified and
improved. Thanks to the cordial interest with which it has been
favored by the profession, and friendly correspondence received from
many of its members, we are enabled to present with each revision
many valuable alterations in the processes. We desire at once to thank
them heartily, and to beg them to show a continued interest in the
same friendly way.
