Education & Reference History Health & Medicine
The Australian Pharmaceutical Formulary 1964, compiled by The Pharmaceutical Association Australia, offers a comprehensive snapshot of mid‑century drug standards and dispensing guidelines in Australia. This historic non‑fiction reference is valuable for researchers, pharmacists, and collectors interested in Australian health, medicine, and industry history.
Published in 1964, the hardcover edition presents detailed formularies, dosage tables, and regulatory notes that reflect the practices of the era. Its broad scope touches on health treatments, pharmaceutical science, and the regulatory landscape of the time.
The book shows typical signs of age: the cover has spotting and wear, and the front and back inner covers are similarly aged. Several pages contain minor marks and stains, but there is no writing, dog‑earing, or damage to the text, and the binding remains tight.
Having been kept in a smoke‑free home, this volume is a solid addition for anyone seeking a historical perspective on Australian pharmaceutical practice.
