The  Pharmaceutical  Formulary.  A  Synopsis  of  the  British,  French, 
German  and  United  States  Pharmacopoeias  and  of  the  Chief  Unofficial  Formu- 
laries, Being  the  Twelfth  Edition  of  Beasley's  Pocket  Formulary.  Edited  by  J. 
Oldham  Braithwaite.  London:  J.  and  A.  Churchill.  Philadelphia:  P.  Blakis- 
ton's  Son  &  Co. 
This  very  convenient  synopsis  comes  to  us  in  a  very  much  improved 
form.  The  first  impression  which  strikes  the  reader  favorably  is  the  black 
type  used  for  the  titles,  enabling  the  busy  pharmacist  to  find  quickly  the 
preparation  sought  for.  A  judicious  pruning  has  reduced  the  number  of  pages 
from  517  in  the  old  edition  to  464  in  the  new.  A  change  in  the  label  will  be 
noticed  by  those  who  are  familiar  with  the  work;  the  old  title,  Pocket  Formu- 
lary, Beasley,  being  changed  to  Beasley's  Formulary — Braithwaite.  The  work 
has  been  carefully  edited,  and  will  be  a  valuable  addition  to  the  pharmacist's 
library  and  dispensing  counter.  J.  P.  R.

Prof.  J.  U.  Lloyd,  whose  entrance  into  the  field  of  general  literature,  was  so 
successfully  marked  by  the  appearance  of  "  Etidorhpa,"  a  lengthy  review  of 
which  appeared  in  the  November,  1895,  issue  of  this  Journal,  has  become  a 
contributor  to  the  Coming  Age,  and  his  first  paper  under  the  caption  "Do 
Physicians  and  Pharmacists  Live  on  the  Misfortunes  of  Humanity?"  will 
appear  in  the  April  issue.  This  question  has  no  doubt  occurred  many  times  to 
the  minds  of  physicians  and  pharmacists  alike,  and  we  are  especially  glad  that 
it  has  been  taken  up  by  Professor  Lloyd  for  treatment. 
The  Coming  Age  is  a  new  monthly  magazine  which  makes  its  entrance  amid 
modern  literature,  with  the  advent  of  the  year  1899.  The  title  of  the  magazine 
is  quite  indicative  of  its  character,  and  while  being,  to  a  certain  extent,  ethical 
in  its  tendencies,  deals  with  questions  of  general  interest,  and  such  as  are  in  the 
line  of  modern  progressive  thought.
