NOTICE — AMERICAN  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION.  313 
Under  these  circumstances,  the  Indian  Government  has  thought 
it  advisable  to  authorize  the  publication  of  a  work  which  shall 
afford  to  the  medical  men  and  pharmaceutists  of  India  informa- 
tion of  the  same  character  as  that  supplied  by  the  pharmacopoeias 
of  Europe,  but  with  particular  regard  to  indigenous  medicinal 
products. 
The  labor  of  preparing  this  work  has  been  entrusted  to  Mr. 
Edward  John  Waring,  F.  R.  C.  S.,  Surgeon  in  Her  Majesty's 
Indian  Army,  author  of  a  Manual  of  Practical  Therapeutics, 
and  of  numerous  papers  on  Indian  pharmacology,  assisted  by  a 
committee  consisting  of  the  following  gentlemen,  viz.,  Sir  J. 
Ranald  Martin,  Sir  William  Brooke,  Drs.  Thomas  Thomson, 
Robert  Wight,  J.  Forbes  Watson,  Alexander  Gibson,  and  Mr. 
Daniel  Hanbury.  The  first  meeting  of  the  committee  was  held 
at  Cannon  Row,  Westminster,  on  the  15th  March,  after  an  in- 
terview with  Lord  DufFerin,  the  Under  Secretary  of  State,  at  the 
India  Office. — Lond.  Pharm.  Jour.,  April,  1865. 
[We  are  glad  to  hear  of  this  project.  The  light  thrown  on  the  materia 
medica  of  the  East  Indies  since  1844  has  doubtless  developed  much  that 
may  be  usefully  introduced  into  a  Pharmacopoeia  for  that  country,  and 
through  it  made  known  elsewhere. — Ed.  Am.  J.  Ph. J
