    dangers are much fewer than he is apt to imagine, because he will find that most of the incompatibles mentioned come within the purview of his chemical knowledge. With a view to meeting the requirements of those students whose examinations require a knowledge of the impurities of chemical remedies and of the tests for the same, I have added a section dealing with this branch of materia medica. In conclusion, I must express my indebtedness to Squire's ^'Companion to the British Pharmacopoeia, MacEwan's Art of Dispensing, and to White and Humphrey's Pharmacopedia, which I have had occasion to consult frequently. My heartiest thanks are due to Professor R. B. Wild for his unfailing kindness and courtesy in making many most useful suggestions, such as the lists of strengths of tablets, suppositories, etc., for reading the proof-sheets, and for favouring me with the dispensing exercises in use in his classes. My thanks are also due to Mr. James Grier, of the University of Manchester, for his many suggestions and criticisms;, which I have found very helpful. WILLIAM KIRKBY.
