CANDY MEDICATION has given such delightful results in practice among children that the author believes it should be more widely known and used. A formulary to serve as the common meeting ground for the prescribing physician and the dispensing pharmacist seems absolutely necessary to make this form of medication more generally available; and it is mainly to supply this formulary that this little book has been published.
Researches conducted by the author in the Pharmacologic Laboratory of the University of Illinois during the past five years, as well as the experience gained by the use of this form of medication in private practice, form the basis of this publication.
To give the best results, the sweet tablets described in this formulary should be freshly prepared on physician's order; thereby securing efficiency and palatability to the highest degree, and enabling the physician to prescribe the dose and combination needed for the particular case in hand. To bring these tablets into the category of extemporaneous preparations, the author has elaborated the process of fat covering which makes the preparation of these tablets no more difficult than the making of pills or of suppositories.
In the pages that precede the formulary, an attempt has been made to present the principles that have been used in the elaboration of the formulae, so that formulae for other medicaments suitable to this form of administration may be developed.
