months.  The  trial  on  the  charge  of  inYohmtary  manslaughter  in  causing  the 
death  of  Anna  E.  Helm  was  postponed. 
The  third  defendant  was  Albert  Krumm,  a  manufacturer  of  noodles,  in  which 
by  chemical  analysis,the  presence  of  eleven  grains  of  lead  chromate  to  the  pound 
had  been  demonstrated.  He  claimed  having  at  first  in  his  business  made  use  of 
turmeric,  and  that  afterward  he  used  a  coloring  matter  under  a  chemist's  certi- 
ficate that  it  was  harmless.  It  was  also  in  evidence  that  he  had  admitted  hav- 
ing discontinued  the  use  of  this  color  when  the  dangerous  character  of  lead 
chromate  was  first  made  public,  but  had  said  that  he  was  compelled  to  resume 
using  it  because  he  lost  about  fifty  customers  in  one  day  by  stopping  it.  The 
jury  convicted  the  defendant,  and  the  judge  sentenced  him  to  imprisonment 
for  six  months  and  to  pay  a  fine  of  $100.

Nine  years  ago  (American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  1879,  p,  158)  we  announced 
the  publication  of  this  work,  of  which  the  second  edition  is  now  before  us, 
thoroughly  revised  and  rearranged. 
The  first  volume  contains  the  elements  and  inorganic  compounds,  which  are  of 
pharmaceutical  importance  or  interest,  commencing  with  the  non-metallic  ele- 
ments, and  these  are  followed  by  the  metals,  water,  bases  and  peroxides,  acids 
and  acid  anhydrides,  and  the  saline  compounds  of  ammonium  and  the  different 
metals,  including  the  officinal  acetates,  valerates,  lactates,  tartrates  and  citrates.
