The new re.'^ources thus placed at the eouiinand of the pharmaceutist and physician have seemed to the authors lo justify ;m .'ittempt to make, from the .ndvanced stand-poini of the present day, a concise but complete statement of all that is of pr;iciical importance to both professions—a digest in which that which is old and that which is new shall be so brought together as to give to the reader, within the most moderate practicable compass, all the details in pharmacology, pharmacy, and thera- peutics, which he is likely to need in his daily avocations. In the almost infinite accumulation of material, this has required a careful and conscientious sifting to discard that which i.s obsolete, untrustworthy, or comparatively trivial, without impairing the practical completeness of the work. Thnt they have wholly accomplished their object the authors do not venture to claim ; but they can say that years of constant labor have been devoted to the task of producing a work to which the inquirer may refer with the certainty of finding everything which experience has stored up as worthy of confidence in the subjects embraced within its scope.
