English  Conversation  Book  for  Pharmacists. 
This  little  book  is  intended  for  German-speaking  pharmacists  in  Europe,, 
to  facilitate  their  intercourse  with  tourists  speaking  the  English  tongue. 
The  author  has  evidently  endeavored  to  confine  himself  to  such  articles 
which  are  most  generally  in  demand  by  travelers,  and  to  omit  such  drugs 
and  preparations,  the  English  name  of  which  corresponds  nearly  with  the 
Latin  pharmaceutical  name,  though  this  rule  has  not  been  strictly  fol- 
lowed ;  thus  for  instance,  paregoric  and  ipecac  are  omitted,  while  tartar 
emetic  and  spermaceti  are  mentioned.  Hellebore  is  translated  rhizoma 
veratri,  which  on  the  continent  of  Europe  refers  to  veratrum  album,  and 
this  is  always  popularly  designated  as  white  hellebore.  By  snake  root 
serpentaria  is  commonly  indicated  here  while  it  is  translated  as  senega. 
Santonica  tlowers  is  not  a  popular  term  ;  the  article  is  generally  called 
European  or  Levant  worm  seed.  The  little  book  contains  also  a  few  brief 
dialogues,  a  list  of  Latin  abbreviations,  sometimes  used  in  English,  but 
rarely  in  American  prescriptions,  etc.
