Throughout the game, you will have to use Freddy's backroom lab table to create the the various medicines you'll need to complete the game. Although at first you'll only be filling prescriptions, later game puzzles will require more direct application of Freddy's pharmacological knowledge.
The original FPFP manual took the form of a (fake) medical handbook, containing all of the formulas needed in the game itself. These formulas have been reproduced below.
Once that's done, you'll notice that the prescription is for Testosterate, a medicine for promoting masculinity in males. Does that sound like something a woman needs? Heck no! Looks like the Doc has been writing prescriptions while drunk again...
Go show the prescription to Doc (he's in the saloon). He'll fix the error. Now you know that you should be making Estrosterane, a contraceptive.
Back at the lab, measure out 15gm of Bimethylquinoline and pour it into the mortar. Next, measure out 15 gm of Metyraphosphate and pour that into the mortar as well. Use the mortar to grind the mixture.
Now, take 6 medicine papers down from the shelf and spread them out on the table. Put an empty prescription box on the table as well. Using the 5gm measuring spoon, scoop up the mixture in the mortar and dole it out onto the papers. Once all 6 papers are full, place them in the box.
Once you've found a way to avoid being overwhelmed by the fumes, you must obtain a sample of horse gas. Find an appropriate container, then use it on a horse (any one will do) to obtain the sample.
Back in the lab, you'll need to use the alcohol lamp and spectroscope (if the lamp won't light, you'll need to refill it with alcohol). Light the lamp, put the scope in front of it, then use the gas sample on the scope to burn it and get a reading.
Now that you've done that, you can start mixing the Aminophyllic Citrate you need. Measure out 40gm of Sodium Carbonate and 15ml of Furachlordone, and combine them in the glass beaker. Next, measure out 45ml of Water and add it to the beaker as well (this should bring the beaker contents up to 100ml). Measure out 5 grams of Magnesium Sulfate and add it to the beaker, then stir with a glass stirring rod. Pour the mixture into an empty bottle and cork it.
To create the Bisalicylate Antitoxidene that will cure the townsfolk, measure out 25ml of Bismuth Subsalicylate and 5ml of Orphenamethihydride, and combine them in the test tube (not the beaker). Light the alcohol lamp, and hold the test tube over the flame to boil the mixture. Once that's done, pour it into an empty bottle and cork it. Dilute with approximately 1,000 gallons of water before administering.
