[Hippiatric formularies established during the period of the Revolution].

Two hippiatric formularies established during the period of the Revolution are presented. The first one published in 1793, is a printed pamphlet of 8 pages, containing 68 drugs. The second one dated of january 1794 includes 26 items only, and consists in a unique chart entitled: Nomenclature des Drogues nécessaires au traitement des maladies internes et externes des chevaux malades qui sont aux armées et dans les différents dépôts de la République. This is of particular and new interest when it tentatively synthesizes and standardizes the main pharmaceutical products able of fighting farcy and glanders. After the first work carried out by Bourgelat around 1760, it confirms the necessity of reforming the ancient and often useless polypharmacy, by selecting efficient drugs and in advising about their relevant use.
