TRANSACTIONS OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY.

A^ain, tlie ‘ British Medical Journal ’ says :— 
“ The revised Pharmacopceia has, we ale happy to find, been very well re¬ 
ceived at all hands. The book has undergone extensive and searching criti¬ 
cisms during the last week or two ; and the most flattering testimonies have 
been received from critical authorities. Our readers can judge for themselves, 
from the searching analysis of changes which we are publishing from week 
to week, of the extent, variety, and importance of the improvements.’’ 
It is evident from these and many other equally favourable opinions that 
have already been expressed by medical and chemical authorities, that the 
new Pharmacopoeia will be at once adopted, as far as it can be, when it ap¬ 
pears, and it therefore behoves every pharmaceutist and chemist and druggist, 
to set to work at the earliest possible time in preparing for its adoption. 
Some time must of course be allowed for getting the new and altered prepa¬ 
rations made, and we think it would be desirable that the Medical Council 
should fix upon a time, say the 1st of June or of July, when the British 
Pharmacopoeia of 1867 may be considered to have authoritatively superseded 
all others.
