Owing to the immense increase in the dispensing of medicines etc., it was found necessary to enlarge the department, and we have been transferred to what was originally the Resident Doctors Quarters. . \ ^ pnviledge of crossing to the mainland to visn various London Hospitals and inspect their system in Pharmacy routine and planning, in order that the best methods might be adopted in the reconstruction of the new department, thereby bringing this section up to modern requirements. The new department was opened in September and consists oi the following :— (a) Main dispensary for Out-patients and Ward requirements. (b) Aseptic Laboratory fitted with a filtered-air plant,, thus minimising contamination of injection and other sterile products during their manufacture.
