Latin, Aqua (Gen., Aquae)
Eng., Water. Formula, H20. Potable water in its purest obtainable state. This is the great vehicle of medicine. The old custom still adhered to by some physicians of prescribing rain-water, river-water, etc., is not recommended, as the one prescribed may not be obtainable by the particular pharmacist handling the order, and if the word water is employed the purest potable water will be used. Distilled water should only be specified when its use is particularly indicated.
