    ^'PKEFACE \ The Eighth Edition (3500 copies) now out of print; completes the 20^000 copies which have been disposed of, and are in the hands of the prescribers and dispensers of medicine, averaging 2000 copies per annum. The Author has therefore the pleasing duty of acknowledging with grateful thanks this recognition of his efforts. His endeavour will be to keep pace with the march of Medical Science and Pharmacy,, carefully selecting new medicines which have been proved to be valuable. The recently published Pharmacopoeia Germanica and the new U.S. Pharmacopoeia have been compared with the British in this work; and some of the preparations adopted. An Index to Diseases has been added, similar to that found in Quincey^s Dispensary published more than a century ago; it may serve to aid the memory in the selection of remedies. Seven pages that were devoted to a comparison of the strength of preparations in former Pharmacopoeias with those of the British are no longer necessary, and are now omitted.
