Abstract
THE forthcoming British Pharmaceutical Conference at Aberdeen on Sept. 12-16 has been the chief influence in the choice of material for the handsome special issue of the Chemist and Druggist for June 25. The majority of space has been devoted to various phases of Scottish activity from the point of view of pharmacy. An interesting account of the early history of pharmacy and the apothecary in Scotland is given by Dr. Thomas Ferguson. The cod-liver oil industry of Aberdeen and the extraction of the oil in Newfoundland are described, with useful illustrations. The appreciation of Aberdeen, the host city for the 1932 Conference, is well worth reading, and the illustrations (in photogravure) of its streets, industries, and colleges are very striking. Among the more descriptive articles is an illustrated account of the British Drug Houses, Ltd.
