Dispensatory
Dispensatory Dis*pen"sa*to*ry, n.; pl. {Dispensatories}. A book or medicinal formulary containing a systematic description of drugs, and of preparations made from them. It is usually, but not always, distinguished from a pharmacop[oe]ia in that it issued by private parties, and not by an official body or by government. [1913 Webster]
