Michael’s Commentary: Unlike such official pharmaceutical texts as the U.S.P, National Formulary and the U.S. Dispensatory, Fenner’s was meant to be a working sourcebook for the individual pharmacist desiring to furnish product for a pharmacy. Every possible product is dealt with, from tinctures to fluid extracts to dyes to wax paper to imitation booze. Not worried about the “official” status of a preparation, if there was a customer demand, Fenner dealt with it.
