Abstract
THIS valuable work has now reached its fifteenth edition, eloquent testimony of its worth. The subject-matter has grown to so great an extent that it has been necessary to divide it into two volumes: the first, of more than 1000 pages, contains the description of the chemicals and drugs and the sections on vaccine and serum therapy, therapeutic index, &c.; the second embodies analytical and experimental work and a résumé of investigations on infective and other diseases. For the medical man and pharmacist, the book contains a wealth of information scarcely to be found in any other work, while numerous data are scattered through it which render it a volume of reference which will be found of the greatest service in the chemical and the biological laboratory.
