The  Foisoti  Register  and  Poisons  and  their  Antidotes.    By  John  H.  Nelson,  Cleveland, 
Ohio. 
As  the  title  indicates,  this  book  is  intended  for  the  registration  of  the  sale  of  poi- 
sons. It  is  conveniently  ruled  so  as  to  give  the  date,  time,  name  of  poison,  quantity, 
purchaser,  residence,  witness,  etc.;  and  this  is  preceded  by  an  account  of  the  various 
poisons,  their  antidotes,  symptoms  and  tests,  and  by  a  compilation  of  the  various 
State  laws  regulating  the  sale  of  poisons.  The  latter  are  not  quite  complete,  several 
have  been  overlooked  by  the  compiler,  which  were  published  in  the  Proceedings  of 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  since  1868.  Apothecaries  will  find  the 
book  serviceable  and  well  adapted  for  the  purpose  for  whicli  it  is  intended. 
Deutsch-Amerikanische  Apot/ieker-Zeitu/ig  [Germdin-AmeviC3.n  Apothecaries''  Gazette). 
The  first  number  of  this  semi-monthly  paper  is  dated  March  1 5,  and  consists, 
exclusive  of  the  advertisements,  of  13  large  quarto  pages.  It  is  edited  by  Dr.  Geo. 
W.  Rachel,  and  published  by  the  Pharmaceutical  Publishing  Company,  5  Gold 
street,  at  $2.50  per  year.  It  is  very  creditably  edited,  printed  upon  good  paper  and 
in  clear  type,  and,  to  judge  from  the  initial  number,  deserves  the  support  of  the  phar- 
macists, physicians,  chemists  and  druggists  who  are  conversant  with  the  German 
language.
