the proper time arrives — that is to say, at the date of the next revision of the 
German Pharmacopoeia — in order to bring the latter into conformity with the 
present agreement. 
At the same time the Imperial Government reserves to itself the right of 
introducing into the stipulations of this agreement any modifications which, on 
the one hand, appear necessary in order to take account of the progress of 
medical and pharmaceutical science, and which, on the other hand, may 
be desirable from the point of view of the unification of the German 
Pharmacopoeia. 
II. Reservations formulated by the Austrian Government. — So far as regards 
oyii pulvis the Austrian Government reserves to itself the right of permitting 
the sale of the pure drug containing, as a maximum, 12 per cent, of morphine. 
III. Reservations formulated by the Government of the United States of 
America. — The Government of the United States does not assume, by the fact of 
signing the present agreement, any other obligation beyond that of exercising 
its influence in order that, at the next revision of the American Pharmacopoeia, 
the latter may be brought into harmony with the said agreement. 
IV. Reservations formulated by the Government of His Britannic Majesty . — 
The Government of His Britannic Majesty declares that it reserves the right of 
introducing into the stipulations of the present agreement such modifications in 
detail as the progress of medical and pharmaceutical science may render neces- 
sary from time to time. 
The Government of His Britannic Majesty further declares that it reserves 
the right of adhering to the agreement, and of denouncing it, with reference to 
each of the British colonies or possessions, separately. 
V. Reservations formulated by the Portuguese Government. — The resolutions 
of the international conference held at Brussels for the unification of the 
pharmacopoeial formulas of potent drugs shall be applied in Portugal. Never- 
theless, the vernacular Portuguese name of each substance shall appear in the 
text of the pharmacopoeia, and shall be adopted as the primary denomination; 
one of the Latin names inscribed in the table contained in article 1 of the present 
agreement shall be used as the first synonymous denomination. 
VI. Reservations formulated by the Swedish Government. — 1. The denomina- 
tions of the potent drugs enumerated in the present agreement, differing 
entirely from those employed in the Swedish Pharmacopoeia, shall not be in- 
scribed in the text itself of that pharmacopoeia, but shall appear in a special 
supplement to the new issue of the pharmacopoeia which is in course of 
preparation ; 
a The Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg has declared that Lux- 
emburg, which by arrangement with Germany has adopted the German Pharma- 
copoeia, has signed the agreement under the reservations formulated by the 
German Government.
