The desire to combat a number of different symptoms shoulda not, lead to excess in the com- bination of drugs. A well directed rifle ball will have a greater effect than a charge from a shot gun where only a few of the shot hit the mark. Some prescriptions have been reported which contained aS many as 400 ingredients. 89 The more complicated a prescription, the great- er are the chances for failure. The symptoms of fever with cough may be treated with small doses of ipecac as a sedative expectorant, tincture of aconite to quiet the cir- culation and allay the fever, with potassium bromide to alleviate excessive coughing. Other cases will readily suggest themselves. It may be desirable, in a given instance to stimulate the heart with one drug and the kidney or bow- els with others. IV. To Form New CoMPouNDS THE EFFECTS oF WHICH DIFFER FROM ANY OF THE INDIVIDUAL CONSTITUENTS. Dover’s Powder is a good illus- tration. This preparation has marked diaphor- etic properties, while neither of its constituents, opium or ipecac, when taken separately exert any powerful action upon the skin. ‘White Lotion’” made by dissolving lead acetate and zine sulphate in water; “Black Lotion” by add- ing calomel to a solution of lime and “Yellow Lotion” by adding corrosive sublimate to a solu- tion of lime, are also examples. V. To AFFORD A CONVENIENT AND AGREEABLE ForM OF ADMINISTRATION. Solids, such as pills, capsules and powders are oftentimes to be pre- ferred. Liquid preparations are sometimes more desirable and they have the advantage of being more readily absorbed. The main thing, of course, is that the patient should get the proper remedy indicated by the symptoms; but, at the same time, it is the duty of the prescriber to see that it is no more obnoxious than need be. This fact is sometimes lost sight of in vet- 90 erinary practice, where the animal may be com- pelled to take the medicine, but nothing is lost to the patient or prescriber, if the medicine is prepared in as palatable a form as_ possible without sacrificing anything of its pharma- cologic action. Due care should be exercised in selecting a vehicle which has little or no medicinal action of its own, or if it has that it will assist or cor- rect the action of the medicines prescribed, and, if practicable, one in which the other in- gredients are soluble. The taste of many bitter substances like qui- nine, and salty drugs like ammonium chloride, may be made more agreeable by the addition of any of the preparations of glycyrrhiza. Caustic or irritating medicines, whether liquid or solid, must be well diluted before being swallowed. EXAMPLES OF PRESCRIPTIONS. The following graded scheme for the begin- ner in prescription writing may be employed; 1st, a prescription written out in Latin is trans- lated into English with the quantities of the ingredients expressed in both the apothecaries and metric systems. 2d. An abbreviated pre- scription is written out in English, apothe- caries and metric. 3d. An abbreviated prescrip- tion is written out in Latin; apothecaries and metric. 4th. After a student has studied thera- peutics a card is given .im bearing the name of a disease, with the basis or principal remedy indicated from which he is to construct a com- pound prescription suitable for the disease mentioned. 91 The following prescriptions are given as illus- trations of the scheme and serve merely as an outline of the way in which the work may be carried on. The instructor can prepare any number of prescriptions pes each grade for the student’s exercises. The various symbols, unusual endings and combinations may be included in such prescrip- tions for purposes of instruction. LATIN INTO ENLISH.

In prescription writing, incompatibility may be defined as an interference, with each other, of the constituents of a mixture in a way not intended by the prescriber. Sometimes there is intentional incompatibility by the prescriber as in the case of white lotion, p. 89. There are three types of incompatibility: Chemic, Pharmaceutic and Physiologic. Chemic Incompatibility occurs when a new chemic compound results. In general it may be recognized in one of three ways: 1. By precip- itation—the formation of an insoluble com- pound. 2. By effervescence or explosion—evo- lution of gas. 3. By a change in color. An- other form may be referred to, because it is not easy to recognize any change and therefore more dangerous. A new product may be formed, possibly of a poisonous nature and remain in solution without in the least chang- ing the appearance of the mixture. The avoid- ance of this form of incompatibility rests upon a knowledge of the ordinary chemic reactions, and the knowledge cannot be too greatly ¢m- phasized. Chemic incompatibility is not always evident immediately, some little time may elapse before changes occur. A general rule is that substances are incompatible if they are used in testing for each other or if they form antidotes. Pharmaceutic Incompatibility results in the production of an unsightly appearance due to physical changes. It is, therefore, largely a question of solvents and solubility, and often 111 occurs when solids or liquids are added to solu- tions, thereby changing their densities. It occurs when there is a combination of such sub- stances as are physically incapable of mixing; - thus, if spirit of nitrous ether be added to tincture of guaicum a gelatinous mass will re- sult, or if resinous tinctures be added to aqueous solutions the resins will separate. Physiologic or Therapeutic Incompatibility depends upon the antagonistic or opposite physiologic or therapeutic actions of the drugs, so that one drug may weaken or neutralize the action of another with regard to its effects upon the tissues. Atropine and pilocarpine are ex- amples of antagonists therapeutically. No two drugs, however, are exactly opposed to each other, throughout their whole range of action, and more or less latitude in this respect may be permitted in prescribing. Incompatibility must always be kept in mind in writing a prescription. It is best avoided, as a rule, by not attempting to combine too many drugs. Some general principles which it is well to keep in mind may be formulated as follows: Acids should not be added to alkalies, alka- line salts or vegetable acids on account of de- composition and chemic change. Solutions of alkaloids are incompatible with tannic acid, alkalies, alkaline salts, iodides and bromides on account of precipitation. Glucosides (Digitalin, Salicin, etc.) are de- composed by acids. A mixture of salts in solution will decom- 112 pose if either an insoluble compound or double salt can be formed. Chloral is incompatible with alkaline solu- tions, chloroform is produced. Potassium chlorate, nitrate or permanganate liberate oxygen and should not be mixed with readily oxidizable substances, such as charcoal, sugar, Sulphur, glycerin, carbolic acid, iodine, turpentine, and organic materials, lest explosive compounds be formed. Lime water precipitates mercury salts. Calo- mel and prussic acid form the poisonous mer- curic cyanide. Calomel should not be combined with nitro- hydrochloric acid as corrosive sublimate may be produced. Both calomel and antipyrin are incompatible with sweet spirit of nitre. Liquid iron preparations are incompatible with fluid preparations of the vegetable bitters (except calumba and quassia), because the tannic acid in them forms a precipitate. Considerable quantities of acid are incom- patible with tinctures, because ethers are formed. Water causes precipitates with tinctures con- taining resins. Gum arabic is incompatible with lead and iron salts and mineral acids. Solutions of potassium chlorate and iodide unite to form a poisonous compound. For convenient reference, the following list of the more important incompatibles, taken from Merck’s Report Ready Reference, is given.
