Pharmacopœia of India
the supply of 130 pounds weight of the drug, which, if manu- factured from mango seed, would cost about eight annas a pound; being Us. 65, instead of Rs. 800, for the year's requirements. "We venture to indulge the hope that another septennial period will not pass away without oar seeing the establishment of large chemical laboratories in each Presidency?not mere repositories for the reception and distribution of imported drugs, or for the manufacture of a few tinctures, but pharmaceutical work-shops on an extended scale, with highly qualified practical English chemists attached to them?men who would analyse and test the products of the country ; and make preparations, of what was valuable, in the most efficient way. Such laboratories would be invaluable for our students, who should be required to study in them for at least six months, prior to passing their final examination. Distributed as they eventually are?as sub- assistant surgeons?throughout India, and placed in charge of dispensaries, they are established in the very position of all others most favorable to assist in the development of indigenous medical resources. Government might well initiate such a system, leaving it for completion, as they have done tea cultivation, to the enter- prise of companies or of individuals. Information is solicited, meanwhile, on the subject of each indigenous product .referred to in the two following lists.
