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, 1904, to June 30, 1905 As the horizon of chemical knowledge has opened out with the advance Of the army of investigators, and as the number of. Recruits to this army has grown immeasurably greater year by year, the necessity of specializing the work of these has become imperative. TO the pharmacist, this advance and Specialization is well brought home by a glance at the matter contained in the Y ear-book, by comparing the contents Of the volumes Of earlier years with those Of more recent date. It will thus be evident that, even in our own sphere of pharmaceutical chemistry, there is the same tendency to specialization, and to the concentration Of the work of individuals in certain definite directions.
