or DISPENSATORY, denotes a book containing the method of preparing the various kinds of medicines used in pharmacy. Such are those of Bau- deron, Quercetan, Zwelfer, Charas, Bate, Mefue, Sal- mon, Lemery, Quincy, &c.; but the latest and most esteemed, beside the London and Edinburgh Pharma- coceias, is the Edinburgh New Dispensatory, being an improvement upon that of Dr Lewis's.

or Dispensatory, is likewise a magazine or office for filling medicines at prime cost to the poor. The College of Physicians maintains three of these in London; one at the college itself in Warwick-Lane; another in St Peter's alley, Cornhill; and a third in St Martin's lane. Dispensaries have also been established in several of the principal towns in Scotland and Eng- land; particularly in Edinburgh, Dundee, and Kelso; as also at Newcastle upon Tyne.
