Digest of Comments on the Pharmacopoeia of the United States of America and on the National Formulary

Résumé du livre

This, the fourteenth bulletin of the series of Digest of Comments on the two official drug standards of the United States of America--the United States Pharmacopoeia and the National Formulary--is, like the preceding numbers, an attempt to reflect in a comprehensive manner the pharmaceutical, medical, and chemical literature pertaining to pharmacopoieal subjects published during the calendar year ended December 31, 1918, and in a few cases for the preceding year where such literature was not available at an earlier date. Not only has the literature pertaining directly to the two official standards mentioned above been reviewed, but an attempt has been made to reflect the literature which may have an indirect or future value in connection with the revision of these standards. For this reason the more important articles on food and drug laws, antinarcotic laws, poison laws, drug inspection work, cultivation of medicinal plants, drug markets, preparation and properties of synthetic medicinal compounds, chemotherapy, antiseptics and disinfectants, and foreign pharmacopoeias and standards have been reviewed and the abstracts included to the extent permitted by time and space.
