Whatever may be the advantages of the Metric System of weight and measure in the practice Of Pharmacy, the fact remains that it is not the commercial system; and the majority of druggists, notwithstanding the persistent efforts that have been made to introduce it, are. Not sufficiently familiar with it to apply it readily in the preparation of medicines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
