Attfield, De. J., London. 
Stereoscope and eight slides of the institution and grounds of the School of 
Pharmacy, Paris. Twelve photographs of professors and assistant-pro¬ 
fessors of the School of Pharmacy, Paris. An album containing por¬ 
traits of the prominent members of the British Pharmaceutical Confe¬ 
rence. 
CiiEVALLiEE, M. A. (de Paris), has forwarded to Dr. Attfield a copy of the 
third edition of his work on ‘ The Adulteration of Dietetic, Medical, and 
Commercial Substances’ (‘Dictionnaire des Alterations et Palsifications 
des Substances Alimentaires, Medicamenteuses, et Commerciales, avec 
I’indication des moyens de les reconnaitre’). 
The object of the work is to enable pharmaceutists to reject any article that may 
have been tampered with, and sophisticated medicaments. 2. To enable them to 
give advice when officially consulted, as to the value either of dietetic or com¬ 
mercial substances. 3. To provide tradesmen and all who buy dietetic or com¬ 
mercial substances with the means of detecting adulterations, and of guarding 
themselves against imposition. This exceedingly useful book, the result of fifteen 
years’ research, is dedicated to M. Dumas.

Extractum Carnis, prepared by the process of Baron Liebig in steam appa¬ 
ratus from English beef. 
Many years ago Baron Liebig obtained a pure essence of meat, which contains its 
principal nutritive elements. According to his calculations, a little more than one 
pound of this extract, with bread, potatoes, and salt, would afford an excellent meal 
for 128 persons. This extract of meat is very different from the product obtained 
from tendons and muscular fibre, which is chiefly gelatine—a substance that affords 
little nourishment. The extract of meat contains 80 per cent, nutritious matter, 
while what is obtained from tendons and muscular fibre contains only 4 or 5 per 
cent. One ounce of the Liebig’s extract of meat contains the soluble matters of two 
pounds of fresh meat.
