Curiosities from Society's rare book collections go on display in library

摘要

Some older material that is not normally available to visitors can currently be inspected in a display set up in the library at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's London headquarters.The exhibits show pharmacy links with education,veterinary medicine and the consumer rights movement.The display includes two miniature books measuring 3.4in deep,2.2in wide and 0.1 in thick,published by James Crossley Eno,of Eno's Fruit Salt fame.The library says that,unlike many miniatures,the two were of practical value,designed to be kept in the busy physician's waistcoat pocket.
