The Dispensatory of the USA, 20th Edition (1918)

The Dispensatory of the USA, 20th Edition (1918)

The ultimate authority in pharmacy in it's era, the 20th edition, edited by Remington and Wood, is 2000 large pages filled with small type. Though the 19th edition was less judgmental regarding unofficial medicinal plants, the 20th edition is firmer in its science and botany. Although already showing signs of belittling many plant medicines (Remington and Wood were the ultimate mainstream pharmaceutical editors), pharmacists nonetheless still had to prepare medicines for the thousands of Eclectic, Homeopathic and "irregular" licensed M.D.s that practiced, so all plants are dealt with in often painful detail. I am abridging it to include only botanicals and their preparations. It will take a couple of months to finish, so I am breaking it up into aphabetical files...this thing is huge.

This was the last era in pharmacy when plant drugs were widely prepared, both for Regular School, Eclectic and Irregular physicians, and the Dispensatories were the major reference works used by pharmacists to prepare these products. Official plant drugs and preparations are in larger case, unofficial plant drugs and preparations are in smaller case. I have extracted all plant drugs and preparations, excluded non botanicals and those most reasonably used only by physicians ... Opium, Digitalis, etc.
