On  the  appearance  of  the  first  edition,  in  18S6,  we  noticed  this  little  mono- 
graph in  the  Journal.  In  the  edition  now  before  us,  which  is  printed  upon 
white  paper  and  in  larger  type  than  the  preceding  one,  we  find  that  the  text 
has  been  revised,  more  especially  in  that  portion  devoted  to  the  chemical  con- 
stituents, the  medical  uses  and  the  pharmaceutical  preparations,  and  has  thus 
been  brought  up  to  date.
