کتاب English for the Students of Pharmacy pdf و چاپی

Among the several characteristics unique to Homo sapiens is our propensity to treat ailments, physical and mental, with medicines. From archaeological
evidence, this urge to sooth the burdens of disease is as old as humanity’s
search for other tools. Like the nodules of flint used to make knives and axes,
medicines rarely occur in nature in their most useful (or palatable) form.
First, the active ingredients or drugs must be collected, processed, and prepared for incorporation into medicaments. This activity, done since the
dawn of Man, is still the central focus of the practice of pharmacy. Put
another way, pharmacy is, and has been, the art (and later science) of
fashioning one of our most important tools-medicines.
