Abstract
THE first volume of the twenty–second edition o*o of the Extra Pharmacopoeia—Martindale—has appeared at about the time that it might have been expected if there had been no war. It looks like its immediate predecessors and, like them, will be almost indispensable to the physician and the pharmacist, who are expected to know all that is new in the way of medicines, whether they be respectable and approved or merely advertised. A great part of the material for this edition had fortunately been collected before the War had cut international communications and slowed up the output of scientific work. More than two thousand new medical and pharmaceutical papers are abstracted and the revision committee has had to put much more of the book into small print to make room for the new matter without making revolutionary changes in the format.
