Excerpt from A Treatise on Commercial Pharmacy: Intended as a Reference Book and a Text-Book for Pharmacists and Their Clerks In the author's twenty-one years of experience as a phar macist, and more especially during the past ten years, many commercial problems have arisen, difficult of solution, and which, in many cases, required considerable search through many separate books to find some solution of them, which when found, required modification or supplementation or both, to be applicable to the problems affecting pharmacy. The idea then occurred to the author that a book contain ing the many commercial problems of the day, with rules for their solution classified, in such a manner as to be im mediately available and adaptable to the problems as they come up from' day to day, would be of great assistance to the pharmacist.
