the stu d y of th a t portion of the L a tin l angu age di rectly
rel ated to ph a rm acy som e notice shou ld b e t aken o f the
,

reasons why this ancient l angu age shou ld find a present d ay -

u se in chemica l and ph a rm a ceu tical nom encl at ure and par ,

ticu larly in the writing of prescriptions I ts employm ent for

.

these pu rposes is not of recent origin b u t m ay b e traced

,

b a ck throu gh the centu ries to the tim e o f the ancient Rom ans ,

and presents b u t one o f the m any evidences of the anti qui ty

of the sciences of m edicine a nd ph arm a cy .

Severa l re a sons m ay be a dv anced for the desirability ,

“
o f its continu ed u se I n the fi rst pl a ce it is a dea d

l angu age no longer u sed as a convers a tio n a l l angu age b y

,

a ny people ,
and conse qu entl y there is no incre a se in its

voc ab u la ry and the m e anings o f its words do not ch ange .

Thi s is entirely tru e of cl assi c al L a tin which is the fou nda

,

tion of P h arm a ceu ti c al L atin thou gh the l a tter does in

,

c rea se its voc ab ulary . New words with L a tiniz ed forms are

2 LE SS O NS IN P HARMACEUTICAL LATI N

the words so form ed do not ch ange any m ore th an do the

m e ani ngs o f the words o f cla ssic a l L a tin .

A second re a son for its retention is that it is a uni versa l

,

s ic ian in any f oreign co untry

,
T his is of gre a t convenience
.

to the traveling p u blic .

A third re a son is th a t in m any instances the L a tin n am es

of drugs and chemic a ls are m ore distinctive th an are their
vern a cu l ar n am es which va ry in d ifi erent co untri es or
, ,

even in different p a rts of the s am e co untry The u se o f the .

L a tin n am e th u s lessens the li abi lity o f error in dispensing .

The u se of L a tin also helps to conceal the kind o f m ed
