latest  edition  of  the  National  Formulary  and  no  registration  cer- 
tificate shall  be  issued  till  it  complies  with  this  rule." 
It  is  of  course  also  advisable  to  have  a  dispensatory  as  a  reference 
book  in  well  regulated  pharmacy.  As  the  rule  is  very  likely  to  be 
enforced  I  earnestly  advise  your  subscribers  in  New  York  State  to 
supply  themselves  with  copies  of  the  N.S.P.VIII  and  N.F.III  which 
books  can  be  obtained  readily  through  the  wholesale  drug  trade. 
Let  us  hope  that  other  State  Boards  of  Pharmacy  will  follow 
this  example,  in  fact  that  State  Laws  will  be  enacted  and  enforced 
making  the  possession  of  a  copy  of  the  latest  edition  of  the  U.S. P. 
and  N.F.  compulsory  in  every  pharmacy  and  drug  store  in  the  U.S.
