The firmphysiologically tests 50 pharmaceuticaland biological preparations and 38more are subjected to bacteriological orclinical tests, none of which are requiredby the U. S. P. It is evident that the requirements ofthe II. K. Mulford Company are morestringent than those of the U.

This does not mean that pharmacistsand manufacturers generally are notcompetent to do this standardizationwork, but it is a well-known fact thatthese results cannot be obtained byany manufacturer or retail druggist un-. less he exercises the same amount ofcare in fixing standards and adheringclosely thereto in standardizing the fin-ished products.
