The  Condition  of  Pharmacy  in  Switzerland. 
In  1879  the  Swiss  Apothecaries'  Society  appointed  a  committee  of  seven 
to  investigate  the  condition  of  pharmacy  in  all  cantons  of  Switzerland, 
and  to  make  propositions  for  the  uniform  regulation  of  the  practice  of  phar- 
macy throughout  the  country.  The  pamphlet  before  us  contains  the 
report  of  that  committee.  The  laws  and  regulations  bearing  on  pharmacy, 
which  are  now  in  force  in  the  24  cantons,  are  conveniently  exhibited  in 
six  tables  appended  to  the  pamphlet.

terations in  food.
