A practical measure, looking toward the inclusion in the Pharmacopeia of unofficial remedies that stand the test of clinical experience, has been initiated by the Section on Ophthalmology of the American Medical Association. From fifty of the best-known drugs selected from "New and Nonofficial Remedies," fourteen were culled by the committee, of the section as having a sufficiently wide employment by ophthalmic surgeons to justify their general recognition. A list of these fourteen drugs was sent on a return postal card to each of the 935 members of the section, with instructions to mark the six drugs which seemed most useful. The replies will be tabulated, and those remedies that have received the largest number of votes will be officially recommended by the section for inclusion in the next revision of the Pharmacopeia. The fourteen remedies named are: adrenalin, alypin, argyrol, betaeucain hydrochlorid, chloretone, collargol, dionin, euphthalmin, fibrolysin, fluorescein, holocain
