sion to the new Danish Pharmacopoeia. — Arch. f. Pharm. og Chem.

6. SWISS PHARMACOPOEIA. 
Wilbert, M. I., points out that the commission having the revision 
of the present Swiss Pharmacopoeia in charge has made it a practice 
to publish, from time to time, bulletins announcing the progress that 
is being made and the more important changes that are proposed or 
accepted. One of the more recent of these bulletins (Schweiz. 
Wchnschr. f. Chem. u. Pharm. 1905, p. 531) announces the proposed 
changes in connection with a number of galenical preparations. — 
Am. J. Pharm., Phila., 1905, v. 77, p. 584:

An editorial in the American Druggist (1905, v. 47, p. 230) sug- 
gests the publication of a Spanish edition by the trustees of the

A later editorial comments favorably on the decision of the trustees 
of the United States Pharmacopceial Convention to translate the 
United States Pharmacopoeia into Spanish. — Ibid., p. 343. 
Ebert, A. E., in commenting on the decision of the U. S. P. trus- 
tees, to publish a Spanish edition, says : 
All that will be necessary will be to translate the work from one language 
into another, and it is believed that this can be accomplished and that the 
volume can appear in the new tongue within a year. — Ibid., p. 358. 
An editorial comments favorably on the decision to publish a 
Spanish edition of the U. S. P.— Western Druggist, Chicago, 1905, 
v. 27, p. 764. 
Wilbert, M. I., discusses the desirability of a Spanish edition of 
the U. S. P., the various suggestions that have been made regarding 
it, and calls attention to resolutions adopted at the meeting of the 
International Sanitary Conference of the Pan-American Republics 
held in Washington, October 10-14- 1905. — Am. J. Pharm., Phila., 
1905, v. 77, p. 583. 
The resolutions referred to above are, in part, as follows : 
Whereas this revised pharmacopoeia embraces many new forms of value both 
for use in therapeutics and prevention of epidemic disease, and represents the 
best thought and labor of experts on these matters : Therefore, be it 
• Resolved, That a translation of this United States Pharmacopoeia into the 
Spanish language would prove of great benefit to the medical profession and 
pharmacists in each of the republics represented in this convention ; and
