The experiments are divided for convenience into two parts, namely preparations and prescriptions. Preparations part includes discussion on aromatic waters, syrups, elixirs, linctuses, solutions, suspensions, liniments. Prescriptions part consists of powders, emulsions, effervescent salts.

Special emphasis is given for the general principles for each type of preparation/prescription, examples for each type, with diagrams,figures and tables, evaluation tests, appendix as a ready reference.Suggestions and criticism from students and teachers are welcome.
