lon-Limousin.  Introduction  par  le  Dr.  Huchard.  1  vol.  in-18  de  324  pages, 
cartonne.    3  francs.  * 
This  formulary  of  the  new  medicaments  is  a  valuable  addition  to  this  subject. 
Besides  the  consideration  of  a  large  number  of  plants  recommended  by  thera- 
peutists, there  will  be  found  a  consideration  of  nearly  all  the  recently  intro- 
duced chemicals,  etc. 
Among  these  may  be  mentioned:  Benzeucaiue,  Captol,  Cearine,  Cosaprine, 
Creosolide,  Eigone,  Erythrol,  Buphtalumine,  Ga'iacyl,  Glycerophosphate  de 
quinine,  Gua'iaquine,  Gue'thol,  Hydrargyrol,  Ingestol,  Iodamylum,  Iodocaseine, 
Iodogallicine,  Iodoterpine,  Largine,  Oleates  alcaloidiques  et  metalliques, 
Orthophosphate  d'argent,  Oxoles,  Phosphate  de  bismuth,  Protargol,  Quino- 
chloral,  Saligallol,  Salicylate  de  mercure  dissimule,  Saliformine,  Satitannol, 
Styrone,  Taunone,  Thiocol,  Ursal,  Valerydine,  Validol,  Vanadine. 
Of  all  the  medicines  treated  there  are  given  the  synonyms,  description, 
physical  and  therapeutical  properties,  mode  of  administration  and  dose.  The 
work  has  been  scientifically  and  accurately  done,  and  is  to  be  recommended  as 
an  important  addition  to  the  literature  of  newer  remedies. 
Three  Thousand  Questions  on  Medical  Subjects,  Arranged  for 
Self-Examination. — With  the  proper  references  to  standard  works  in  which 
the  correct  replies  will  be  found.  Second  Edition,  enlarged.  Philadelphia  : 
P.  Blakiston's  Son  &  Co.,  1012  Walnut  Street. 
The  ideas  are  excellent  ones,  and  the  questions  are  well  gotten  up.  The 
only  unfortunate  thing  is  that  the  "Standard  works  in  which  correct  replies 
will  be  found  "  are,  in  fourteen  out  of  the  sixteen  books  of  reference  mentioned, 
all  Quiz  Compends.  It  would  have  been  well  if  some  of  the  standard  works 
other  than  "  Quiz  Compends  "  were  referred  to. 
Drs.  Harvey  and  Davidson's  Syeeabus  of  Materia  Medica. — Revised 
in  accordance  with  the  "British  Pharmacopoeia,"  1898.  By  William  Martin- 
dale.    Tenth  edition.    London  :  H.  K.  Lewis,  136  Gower  Street,  W.  C.  1898. 
This  little  book  of  sixty-four  pages  was  originally  prepared  for  the  use  of  the 
medical  students  in  the  University  of  Aberdeen.  It  seems  to  be  employed  by 
medical  students  as  a  guide  in  their  studies  of  the  more  important  articles  and 
preparations  in  the  B.  P. 
PENNSYLVANIA  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
The  twenty-second  annual  meeting  of  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical 
Association  convened  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  on  Tuesday 
morning,  June  13th,  1899,  at  10  o'clock,  with  the  President,  Mahlon  N.  Kline,  in 
the  chair.  The  Association  was  welcomed  on  behalf  of  the  city  of  Philadelphia 
by  Mayor  Ashbridge,  who,  in  a  very  pleasant  address,  referred  to  the  fact  that 
the  first  salary  he  ever  received  was  in  the  wholesale  drug  house  of  Robert 
Shoemaker  &  Co.,  of  this  city,  and  that  he  remembered  those  days  of  service 
as  among  the  most  pleasant  in  his  life.  The  President  then  called  upon  Mr.  J. 
H.  Redsecker,  who  responded  in  a  very  happy  manner.  The  next  in  order  was 
the  reception  of  delegates  from  the  neighboring  State  pharmaceutical  and 
allied  associations,  which  were  well  represented.    The  general  tenor  of  the
