Transcription Notes:
Anyone know what the symbol that looks like a flattened "2" means? Hydrarg is a mercury compound, so my guess is a very small quantity.
In a 1922 book "A Manual of Pharmacology and Its Applications to Therapeutics and Toxicology" an example for writing an Rx (p 58 ends with the Latin word "misce" which means "mix," my contention is that the Nt or M scribble is Merril's own symbol for "mix." The books say often just simply "M" is used.
