The Home Formulary
Tho latest and most valuable Toilet and
Miscellaneous Formulas for home uso by
William A. Hoburg, instructor in theoreti
cal and applied pharmacy at the College
of Pharmacy of tho city of New York
PRICE $5.00
In presenting this book to the fully that they arc sent forth on
public, wc fully appreciate the vast their own merits, with the belief
amount of service nud real benefit they will receive that high apprc
a practical collection of formulas ciation from the public which their
will be to any family. The sole
object, therefore, is to make the
book practical nud useful, nild to
have it contain only such rcmcdic
ns will be constantly noalcd in ev
ery home.
Notwithstanding the great num
ber of medical books that cover the
country and the vast expense of
producing some of them, we fail to
find a single one that is practical
for uuprofessiouable people to use.
They attempt to supplant the
physician by devoting their many
pages to complicated diseases which
no family should think of treating,
and give but little attention to rem
edies for simple troubles that are
continually needed, and which
real value nud usefulness so richly
deserve,
We have made arrangements for
n number of these books, which cu
allies us to present, free of charge
to our friends, one of the most use
ful collections of formulas we have
ever seen.
In this book nothing is given for
any serious troubles, because the
unprofessional person is not capa
ble of diagnosing or treating any
thing complicated, and such trou
bles should in all cases he referred
to a physician. No formula, there
fore, contained herein is for a per
son to use internally, and not a
dose of medicine is given for you to
take. 1 hey are such as may be
could be intelligently used by the uscu' with benefit and will be need
ed, perhaps, fifty times to where
you require a prescription for se
rious troubles once,
We keep one of these books com
plete on our prescription case, and
when you desire a formula filled,
bring its number only,
public.
In consideration of the above,
great care has been used to place
no formula in this collection but
what may be of practical value to
the ordinary or unprofessional per
son, and each formula has-been
worked on so diligently and care-
The book described above contains one hundred and sixty-eight
formulas, and our scheme is to give them away, but the giving away
cannot be done indiscriminately as our purpose is to place one in each
home iu bt. Johns, and at the same time to get you started In using the
the recipes; so we will require you to get a recipe filled at the time you
receive the book. Each week we will publish two sample formulas,
any one of which you may bring to us at any time and have filled and
receive a book free.
