power  to  make  such  alterations  should  at  least  confer  together  ?  But 
the  most  perfect  committee  for  obtaining  an  international  Pharmaco- 
poeia would  doubtless  be  one  constituted  of  delegates  from  each  coun- 
try with  full  powers  to  act,  and  then  each  disputed  point  could  be 
decided  by  a  majority  of  votes. 
In  the  meantime  I  would  suggest  that  the  Pharmacopoeia  commit- 
tees of  each  country  should  have  a  permanent  existence,  instead  of 
being  specially  appointed  when  a  revision  of  the  Pharmacopoeia  of  any 
particular  country  is  contemplated.  They  could  under  these  circum- 
stances at  all  times  confer  with  one  another,  with  a  view  to  future 
changes  in  the  direction  of  uniformity. 
In  the  following  tables  the  quantities  in  the  British  and  in  the 
United  States  Pharmacopoeias  have  been  converted  into  parts  by 
weight  for  the  purpose  of  comparison.
