    PEEFACE. The previous edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the London Hospital having become exhausted, the Medical Council, deeming that the time had arrived when the whole matter should undergo a thorough revision, appointed a Committee composed of certain members of the Staff to undertake the work. The Committee so appointed thought it advisable, not only to effect numerous altera- tions, but also to endeavour to render the work a useful guide to the students of the Hospital in the art of prescribing. The aim has been to incorporate such recent additions to the Materia Medica as have been proved of value, and, as far as possible, to preserve simplicity of formulae. The mode of pre- paration has been subjected, in every instance, to a practical test.
