seeds  20  parts,  and  from  leaves,  herbs  or  barks  10  parts.  Unlike  the  latter,  the 
Danish  pharmacopoeia  still  gives  processes  for  many  chemicals,  but  none  for  the 
alkaloids  or  their  salts. 
The  processes  as  well  as  the  descriptions  and  tests  of  purity  are  given  in  a. 
concise  but  clear  language,  chemical  tests  of  identity  beiDg  usually  omitted. 
We  append  a  few  of  the  complex  formulas,  some  of  which  it  will  be  noticed, 
order  rather  indefinite  quantities  of  coloring  material.  Pharm.  Norv.  con- 
tains the  same  preparations,  mostly  improved  by  simplifying  the  process.
