The first three volumes of the 1933 work are on the internet archive. Volume 1          Volume 2          Volume 3 Keepers might mine The Chemical Formulary for inspiration in scenarios where the investigators need to concoct their own chemical tool or chemical weapon. The formulas may also inspire Keepers to create their own Mythos Chemical Formulary. Thank you again to Graham for sending in this fantastic Card Catalog idea. If you have an idea for a Card Catalog entry, please email us or post it in our forums.
