โฆ Synopsis
blay i, 1U"O CBElkXiSl'RY ANI, INDUSTRY 319 of a pure prcparation, whilst manufacturers will welcome many of the routine dctails. Wherever possiblc thc reactions am represented step by step by graphical formulae and equations. Tho author givcs rcfcmnces to the Bteraturc in many instances, but a fuller bibliography would have bccn wclcomc. Thc chapter headed "Drugs of Animal Origin," givcs a lucid and up-to-datc treatment of gland products, vitamins and insulin. Tho pionccr work dono by Nlcn & Hanbury, Ltd. (jointly with thc British Drug Houses, Ltd.) in producing and standardising insulin in this country has cnablcd the author to write with authority upon this iniportant subject.
Printed on cscellcnt papcr, the book is intcrcsting as well as uscful, and should find a wclcomc among advauccd students of pharmacy and mcdicinc, and should also serve as one of the standard rcfcrcncc books for tlic manufacturc and reactions of drugs. A few errors occur, chiefly in thc spcllitig of unusual botanical namcs, but on thc wholc, tlic hook is commendably free from inaccuracies. It is to bo hopcd that economic conditions will pcrmit a sccond edition of thc book to be offcrcd a t a pricc which will be more likely to cnsure for i t tlie wide circulation i t descrvcs.
