NOTE. Above is data exclusively from national standards revised 

 since 1900. Those of South America are not included, since no recent 

 revisions have appeared. Several used above are seriously in need of 

 revision in nomenclature or deletion. Many of these, as well as drugs 

 and preparations official in the U. S. P. VIII but deleted from the U. 

 S. P. IX, are listed in the N. F. IV. The botanic drugs listed in the 

 National Formulary, Fourth Revision, are considered in this present 

 volume quite in detail, but are not always credited to it, since they are 

 in common use. A difficulty in crediting the N. F. lies in the fact that 

 many drugs are official in the U. S. P., while certain preparations of the 

 same drugs are N. F., not U. S. P. preparations.
