addition,  however,  consists  of  a  formulary  (we  should  have  preferred  thi& 
title  to  the  one  chosen  by  the  author)  for  a  large  number  of  prei)aration& 
contained  in  the  British,  French,  German  and  Swedish  Pharmacopoeias, 
or  which  are  not  recognized  by  any  Pharmaco]3oeia,  but  are  employed  more 
or  less  in  the  United  States.  The  nomenclature  emj)loyed  is  the  one  advo- 
cated by  the  author  in  a  paper  read  before  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association  at  Saratoga,  and  proposes  to  use  all  Latin  names  in  the  nomi- 
native case.  The  formulas  are  arranged  in  groups,  either  according  to  their 
pharmaceutical  nature  or  chemical  composition.  The  nature  of  these  for- 
mulas will  be  best  understood  by  quoting  a  few  examples :
