Unlock the shelves of the forgotten apothecary.

Originally compiled in the 19th century, The Unofficial Pharmacopoeia is a rare and richly practical guide to over 700 non-official yet widely used medicinal preparations—the recipes, formulas, and compound remedies that lived outside institutional medicine but inside the hands of those who truly practiced the healing arts.

From cordials to compounds, lozenges to liniments, this book offers a detailed record of how medicine was once made, measured, and administered—crafted not for theory, but for everyday use. It also includes:

• A concise metric conversion guide to ease the shift from apothecary weight to modern measure

• A comprehensive dosage table, both clear and clinically practical

• Part III: A Chymical Dictionary, decoding historical pharmaceutical and alchemical terms

Revived and refined by Silver Smith Alchemy, this edition preserves the spirit of the original while improving clarity for modern practitioners, scholars, and lovers of the arcane. It is ideal for:

• Apothecaries & herbalists

• Historical reenactors & researchers

• Alchemists & lovers of folk medicine

• Healers walking the path between past and present

📖 A vital companion for any serious student of botanical or alchemical medicine.
