Annates  de  Chimie  Analytique  is  the  title  of  a  new  semi-monthly  from 
Paris.  It  is  under  the  direction  of  C.  Crinon,  assisted  by  a  well-known  corps 
of  collaborators.  The  first  numbers  contain  valuable  analytical  contributions, 
and  indicate  a  useful  future. 
Archiv  for  Pharmaci  og  Chemi.  A.  Kloecker,  editor,  Copenhagen,  Den- 
mark. The  fifty-third  volume  appears  in  an  enlarged  and  otherwise  improved 
garb.  This  journal  was  begun  in  1844,  by  S.  M.  Trier,  who  conducted  it  for  fifty 
years  (to  1S941,  and,  with  the  exception  of  the  last  three  years,  entirely  alone. 
Of  original  articles  it  shows  very  few,  often  for  years  none.  It  was  and  is 
chief!}'  a  "repertory"  of  pharmacy,  chemistry,  physics  and  applied  chem- 
istry. 
The  new  editor  has  infused  more  life  into  it. 
That  pharmacy  in  Denmark  is  by  no  means  behind  times  is  shown  by  two 
advertisements:  "  Situations  wanted.  A  lady  (twenty  years  of  age)  who  has 
been  apprentice  for  eighteen  months,  desires  a  situation  in  another  part  of  the 
country  so  that  she  can  finish  her  studies." 
Four  female  apprentices  are  in  want  of  situations.  H.  M.  W. 
Kort  over  Denmark's  Apotheker.  List  of  Danish  pharmacies,  accom- 
panied by  a  map,  showing  the  location. 
We  learn  that  Denmark  has  81  "real"  pharmacies,  88  "personal,"  7  branch 
stores,  160  physicians  who  may  sell  medicines,  11  physicians  who  are  permitted 
to  dispense  their  own  medicines  but  not  keep  store  (both  of  the  latter  are  bound 
to  take  their  medicines  from  one  or  more  designated  pharmacies),  and,  finally, 
10  general  stores  where  medicities  may  be  sold,  except  poisons  and  potent 
drugs  and  preparations,  but  they  must  not  put  up  medicines. 
The  chief  difference  between  the  "real"  and  "personal"  pharmacies  (or 
rather,  privileges)  is  that  the  former  represent  valuable  pieces  of  property  and 
may  be  sold,  often  at  quite  fancy  prices,  while  the  "personal  "  cannot  be  sold, 
but  are  merely  permits  to  locate  and  conduct  a  pharmacy  in  a  certain  place, 
which  permit  expires  with  the  death  of  the  widow.  The  would-be  successor 
has  to  petition  the  proper  authority  for  a  new  permit,  which  may  or  may  not  be 
granted  him.  In  such  cases  the  fixtures  and  stock  are  sold  as  any  other  store, 
at  invoice.  The  widow  has  to  put  the  store  in  charge  of  a  graduate  in  good 
standing,  unless  she  herself  happens  to  be  a  graduate.  H.  M.  W.
