This copy of the Twelfth Edition of The National Formulary, published in 1965 by the American Pharmaceutical Association, is a valuable resource for collectors and researchers interested in the history of pharmacy and medicine. The National Formulary, first published in 1888, was an official compendium of drug formulations and standards that complemented the United States Pharmacopeia. This edition, published during the mid-20th century, provides a snapshot of the pharmaceutical landscape of that era, reflecting the advances in drug development and the evolving regulatory environment.

While this copy shows some signs of use, with minor wear and scuffs on the hardcover binding and spine, the clean pages and secure binding indicate that it has been well-preserved. The absence of a dust jacket is common for reference works of this nature, as they were often intended for practical use in laboratories and pharmacies. Collectors and researchers interested in the history of pharmacy, medicine, and regulatory affairs will appreciate the insights this volume offers into the state of the pharmaceutical industry in the 1960s.
