%X Chemical-analytical laboratory of the Warsaw Pharmaceutical Society was established in 1897. In the laboratory, chemical (i.a. into pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs, physiological analyses) and bacteriological research was conducted and also didactic classes were given. There were also attempts to take up scientific activities.
The purpose of this work is to present the Society’s activities and people, who headed them and tried to counteract the growing problem of adulteration of pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs, as well as to develop the basis of pharmaceutical knowledge in the difficult time for this profession – at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries – when in practice the knowledge gained during studies turned out insufficient.
