This instrument is capable of showing, on mere inspection, the absolute as well as relative strengths of the different Officinal Preparations of the Pharmacopœia. The active Principles, or Medicinal Bases, are distinguished by CAPITAL LETTERS, placed in coloured compartments, and each Officinal preparation is marked by a line corresponding in colour with that of its active ingredient. Where a preparation contains two active ingredients it is distinguished by two coloured lines, as may be seen in the _Pulvis Ipecacuanhæ comp_. By this expedient the eye, at once, recognises the different classes of medicines; all those, for instance, coloured _red_ are Opiates; those _blue_, Mercurials; _green_, Acetic acid; &c. The introduction of colours, moreover, immediately indicates the basis to which any preparation refers, and thus prevents the possibility of doubt or confusion.
