OP All day long I've been trying without success to remember
something about the "tail" of the R being looped back over itself. There was a story to it, but I have no idea how to find it now. Just that it originally was not an "X". But I am so much older than my colleagues (if I may so call them)
that a lot of the old mystique was long gone when they took pharmacology.I'll bet none of them ever made oleum percomorphum. Not even sure how to spell that now. Or pills of aloes. There ain't no such thing as a pill any more. Pills were made by triturating ingredients in a mortar with a pestle, and taking a small amount of the goo and rolling it into a small ball or ovoid between both palms. Remember Oliver Wendell Holmes,Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, and a notted phsysician, saying that if all the medications were thrown into the sea it would be all the better for mankind, and all the worse for the fishes.
