Pharmacographia Indica. 
PART IF. 
We have received Part II. of the “Pharmacographia Indica,” 
which completes the first yolume. This portion fully sustains the 
promise of the previous one, and contains a large quantity of 
original information relative to Indian Vegetable drugs, as well as 
carefully collected extracts from the most reliable sources. Under 
the heading ‘*History, Uses, &c.,”’ the authors have got together 
some bighiy instructive notes, which will be useful reading, not only 
to those interested in drugs and chemicals, but to the — reader 
likewise.— Times of India,

and America for Indian drags of acknowledged merit, and to 
those who speculate, or experiment with such a commodity we 
should recommend the “ Pharmacographia Indica” as a flail to 
separate the wheat from the chaff.— Madras Mail.

drugs, and more particularly such which are not, or only toa
