Annual  Report  on  the  Progress  of  Pharmacognosy,  Pharmacy  and  Toxicology,  for 
1873- 
This  excellent  annual,  the  thirty-third  volume  of  which  is  before  us,  is  so  well 
known  to  all  those  of  our  readers  who  are  acquainted  with  the  German  pharmaceu- 
tical literature,  that  we  need  but  mention  the  appearance  of  this  volurne,  in  which 
the  authors  have,  with  their  accustomed  care  and  completeness,  extracted  and  re- 
viewed the  pharmaceutical  literature  of  all  civilized  countries.  The  arrangement 
remains  the  same  as  heretofore,  and  the  frequent  references  to  former  volumes  facil- 
itate the  study  of  any  particular  subject. 
Those  of  our  readers  who  desire  to  procure  this  work,  will  be  interested  to  learn 
that  subscribers  to  this  may  procure  the  first  seven  volumes  of  the  new  series  (1866 
to  1872)  at  10  thalers,  which  is  one-half  the  publication  price.

The  convenient  arrangement  of  this  annual  publication  adapts  it  to  the  use  in  the 
store  and  for  memoranda  in  the  laboratory.  Besides  other  useful  information,  it 
contains  a  number  of  formulas,  copied  from  Mr.  C.  L.  Lochman's  translation  oi  the 
German  Pharmacopoeia.

We  have  been  favored  with  a  proof-sheet  of  this  new  pharmaceutical  preparation 
which  is  published  in  th6  German  language.  Its  objects,  as  stated  in  the  prospectus, 
are  ;  i,  discussion  of  all  questions  of  pharmaceutical  interest  5  2,  combatting  of  the 
patent  medicine  evil;  3,  furtherance  of  pharmaceutical  science,  art,  and  knowledge  j 
4,  elevation  of  pharmacy  in  the  estimation  of  the  public. 
We  wish  this  new  enterprise  good  success,  and  feel  convinced  that  both  editor 
and  publishers  wi!l  leave  nothing  undone  to  deserve  it.
