Abstract
IT is a far cry from the materia medica of the old days to the modern pharmacognosy. The change has come about largely as a result of thepolicy of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain in setting this subject on a scientific basis and in demanding a high standard of attainment in it in its qualifying examinations.
