Abstract

ensure and promote the growtJ~ and development of the science and art of medicine and for the better preservation of the health and lives of the people.And when t h i s is done, then the old-fashioned pharmacy and the old-fashioned pharmacist will again come into their own. God speed the day!The methods as well as the advantages of administering medicinal remedies, hypodermically, by means of Hypodermic Tablets, Biological Serums, Antitoxins, etc., are well known. But "ampoules" which are hermetically sealed, ' glass bulbs, containing standardized and sterile, aqueous or oil solutions of drugs .or medicinal chemicals, are considered as comparatively new products on the North Atnerican market, although they have been in very common use in Europe and South America for a great many years.With but very few exceptions the content of ampoules are specScally intended for subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injections; therefore possess all the advantages that hypodermic administration af€ords.There are, however, three paramount advantages to be gained by the use of ampoules; namely, convenience, accuracy of dose and the ready to use sterile product.
