The  work  of  preparing  a  new  edition  of  this  well-named  Universal  Formu- 
lary has  been  entrusted  to  Professor  Maisch.  Many  changes  were  made  neces- 
sary by  the  appearance  of  the  new  edition  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia,  and  by 
the  alterations  in  the  British  and  German  Pharmacopoeias.  The  Formulary 
proper  has  been  increased  by  one  hundred  and  twelve  pages;  eighty-three  new 
subjects  have  been  introduced,  among  which  may  be  mentioned : 
Acidum  Carbolicum,  Iodoformum, 
Ammonii  Yalerianas,  Potassii  Permanganas, 
Calcii  Hypophosphis,  Triticum  Repens, 
Ferri  Pyrophosphas,  Ammonii  Bromidum,
