Excerpt from Year-Book of Pharmacy: Comprising Abstracts of Papers Relating to Pharmacy, Materia Medica, and Chemistry Contributed to British and Foreign Journals, From July 1, 1879, to June 30, 1880 The reader will see from a perusal of this volume that the literature of pharmacy and its allied sciences has again received numerous and valuable contributions. Among the items to be passed in brief review in this introductory chapter, we desire to give the first and most prominent place to the masterly work done by Professor Ladenburg in connection with the alkaloids atropine, hyoscyamine, daturine, and duboisine. It would be difficult, indeed, to point to another instance - search as we may through the scientific literature of the year - in which success has been more perfectly oommen surate with able and persevering efforts, and in which link after link has been added to the chain of information with equal precision.
