INCORPORATION, in pharmacy, is much the same as impastation, being a reduction of dry substances to the consistence of a paste, by the admixture of some fluid; thus pills, boles, troches, and plasters are made by incorporation. Another incorporation is, when things of different consistences, are by digestion reduced to one common consistence.
