COMPANION TO THE LATEST EDITION OF THE BRITISH PHARMACOPOEIA, COMPARING THE STRENGTH OF ITS VARIOUS PREPARATIONS WITH THOSE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND OTHER FOREIGN PHARMACOPOEIAS. TO WHICH ARE ADDED NON-OFFICIAL PREPARATIONS, AND PRACTICAL HINTS ON PRESCRIBING. BY PETER SQUIRE, F.L.S., CHEMIST IN ORDINARY TO THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE ROYAL FAMILY, MEMBER OF THE FIRST BRITISH PHARMACOPOEIA COMMITTEE, ASSISTED BY HIS SONS, PETER WYATT SQUIRE AND ALFRED HERBERT SQUIRE. JOINTLY CHEMISTS IN ORDINARY ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE QUEEN. In Memory of SIR JAMES CLARK, BART., K. C.B., M.D., F.R.S., To whom, by his permission, the former Editions were dedicated, and whose death, at the mature age of 82, was lamented by her Majesty and the whole of the Royal Family; and by the Medical Profession, of which he was one of the brightest ornaments. He was not only a wise physician, but a man of sound judgment and quick perception. His hand was ever ready to help the unfortunate and to assist the deserving; and some who have risen to the highest professional eminence owe their success in a great measure to his counsel and advice during their early career. He was much interested in Pharmacy, and through his influence the Pharmaceutical Society sent its delegate to take part in the formation of the British Pharmacopoeia. |
