Whelpley, H. M. — The Microscope in Pharmacy. 



[" It is undeniable that the Microscope will be one of the important instruments 

 of the drug store of the future. As already referred to, drugs now come into 

 the market in such altered conditions that the naked eye cannot recognize them. 

 This gives great opportunities for adulteration, aud microscopy is the most con- 

 venient path out of the difficulty. The instrument will grow more and more 

 popular each year, as the profession becomes better educated and the public 

 learns the importance of guarding against inferior or adulterated drugs. Even 

 at the present time the importance to the pharmacist of the study of microscopy 

 is quite generally recognized. The leading colleges of pharmacy havelaboratories 

 equipped with facilities for giving the students instruction in this highly inter- 

 esting and valuable study."]
