E Mercks Annual Report Of Recent Advances In Pharmaceutical Chemistry And Therapeutics 1912 Vol 25 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from E. Merck's Annual Report of Recent Advances in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Therapeutics, 1912, Vol. 25 As far back as 1870 I undertook to furnish my friends and customers with short reports on recent therapeutic preparations, as at that time the professional journals did not contain as detailed and complete accounts of recent discoveries in the field of pharmaco therapy as is now the case. These communications, which appeared at irregular intervals, developed in the course of years into the regular Annual Report. Its aim from the first was to collect the most important items from the entire international literature, all the information that was likely to prove of interest to physicians and pharmacists, and to present it in a perfectly, impartial manner, leaving the reader to examine the information and to decide upon its actual value. I have therefore scrupulously avoided expressing my own views upon the results obtained by others, provided these communications did not conceal some actual danger, to which it was absolutely necessary to draw attention. On account of this impartiality, combined with as comprehensive a report as possible, the Annual Report has been so highly appreciated that the number of copies printed has had to be increased from year to year. At the present time it is published in four languages (german, English, French and Russian), the total annual edition amounting to copies. This steady increase of the annual edition is evidence that the Annual Report supplies a real want. 'further, it bears elo quent testimony that the Annual Report has succeeded in satis tying its readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
