upon the large number of errors, more or less important, discovered 
in the last edition of the X. F. by the author of a review in Merck's 
Report , and adds the remark that when a book thus receives legisla-

lication of recognized formulas for preparations in great demand. — 
Pharm. J., Lond., 1906, v. 23, p. 539.
