Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Condensed Compendium of Pharmaceutical Knowledge
HE rapid progress and development of phar macy makes a new edition Of our Quiz Com pend necessary, as we desire to keep it, as heretofore, a standard work of its kind. The liberal sale the former editions met with convinces us that this work meets a long-felt want, and we shall take the occa sion of this revision to improve the book in many respects, and' hope to make it invaluable to phar maceutical students for daily reference in the store, as well as for those preparing for an examination. It is not our Object to teach new facts, but to bring points and technicalities of the drug business to the mind in a condensed form, to assist the student in memorizing them. We omit, as out of place in a condensed work of this kind, formulae and descrip tions of the preparations of the pharmacopoeia, which make up the bulk of most Quiz Compends, and for such matter refer you to the proper text books, which every one should have at hand.
