    PRKFAC1-: Luersseii, Maiscli, Moeller, IVreira, Planchon and Co]lin, Tschirch, and Vogl, to the publishers of whicli niy thanks are due. Tlie Editor of the * Phannaceutieal Journal ' also has permitted tiie use of several blocks that have illustrated publications in the Journal ; these have, by request, been referred to Holmes. In each case the source has been duly acknovvledi^ed. Many of the illustrations have been prepared from photo^a*aphs taken specially for that pui^pose. It has obviously been impossible to verify all the statements made ; in most cases the name of the authority, with or without the date, has been inserted in brackets. I regret that the latter course has not been more uniformly adopted, as it appears to me to render reference easy and at the same time to indicate the time that has elapsed since the statement was first made. My thanks are also due to many friends who have assisted me with information and advice, especially to Mr. J. Slinger Ward, who has put himself to much trouble to obtain and furnish particulars that I was in want of ; and to Mr. F. A. Upsher Smith, Demonstrator of Materia Medica and Pharmacy, who has assisted me in the tedious work of proof-reading. It has been my endeavour to place before the student of Materia Medica a work that shall be of real assistance to him, and although I am painfully conscious of many shortcomings, I trust that I may to some extent have succeeded.
