Also in the 17th century John Evelyn wrote in his Herbal, "If the medicinal properties of its leaves, bark and berries were fully known, I cannot tell what our countryman could all for which he might not fetch a remedy from every hedge, either for sickness or wounds." Evelyn also claimed that elder would help assist longevity and was effective "against all infirmities, whatever."... 

The other ACS divisions that served as joint sponsors with the Division of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry and the chairmen provided for three of the four sessions of this symposium should be identified for their helpful assistance Howard M. Peters from the Division of Chemical Information (Chemistry and the Law Subdivision) Kenneth W. Greenlee from the Division of Small Chemical Businesses and Lawrence Keller from the Division of Organic Coatings and Plastics Chemistry. Lawrence Keller served also as co-chairman and helped develop the general scope of the symposium. The Board Committee on Corporation Associates also was a joint sponsor. 

I wish to thank Dr. Gotelind Mullersman for her helpful assistance in preparing this article. 

The assistant accentuates and enhances the therapeutic effect of the chief or deputy ingredients, or directly treats secondary symptoms. The ingredient that has this function can be considered a helping assistant. 

Xi Xin, Chuan Xiong and Bai Zhi are helping assistants they work in the same direction as the chief and deputy herbs. In addition, they can promote Qi and blood circulation and relieve headache and general pain. 

Mu Gua is sour and warm, and enters the Liver and Spleen meridians. It is used as a helping assistant in the formula because its sour taste can stabilize the body fluids and Yin, and its warm nature can dissolve dampness. It is also selected to treat cramping, stiffness, swelling and heaviness of the joints and muscles. 

Man Jing Zi, as helping assistant, can expel wind-dampness, regulate the Qi in the head and relieve headache with blurred vision. 

Mu Gua is used as both helping assistant and corrective assistant because it can transform dampness directly as well as stabilize the Yin, which can be injured by the pungent and hot herbs or the herbs that move the Qi and drain the water. 

Dang Gui is often used as a helping assistant to tonify the blood and promote blood circulation. It treats a syndrome where blood stagnation and blood deficiency coexist. It also serves as a corrective assistant. It nourishes the blood that has been consumed by pungent and warm herbs that promote Qi and blood in the formula. 

Wu Wei Zi is sour and warm, and enters the Heart meridian. It can stabilize the Qi and Yin of the Heart and therefore calm the mind. Because it can strongly enhance the ability of the herbs that tonify the Qi and Yin of the Heart, it is often used as a helping assistant in the formula to treat anxiety, palpitations, restlessness and sweating. However, as this function can cause restless sleep or difficulty falling asleep in some patients, it is better to use it several hours before sleep. 

Huang Qin, Shi Gao and Sheng Di Huang serve as both helping assistants and corrective assistants. They can clear heat in the body, as well as reduce the side effects of the pungent and warm herbs. 

Except for Zhi Gan Cao, all these herbs are sweet and cold. They can nourish the Yin of different organs of the body. Tian Men Dong primarily enters the Kidney meridian, Bai Shao Yao the Liver meridian, Mai Men Dong the Heart and Stomach meridians, and Lu Gen the Lung meridian. If these herbs are combined with Zhi Gan Cao, the tonifying function becomes stronger and stable. They can be used as helping assistants in the formula to treat Yin deficiency when Yin is not used properly but turns into accumulated fluid, dampness or pus in a chronic Yin-type ulcer.

The implementation of legislation in the UK has ensured more effective control over residues than has previously been possible. This will help to deter an isolated number of farmers who do not observe the recommended conditions of use for veterinary products and who are therefore probably responsible for the low number of residue violations recorded. Refinements in analytical methodology, to improve the speed and reliability of residue detection, will help assist the expansion of the UK veterinary drug residues surveillance programme. 

We appreciate the helpful assistance of the acquisitions editors of the ACS Books Department. Our initial efforts were guided by Susan Robinson, whose good-natured persistence was invaluable. The finishing touches were skillfully handled by Robin Giroux.

The writer is greatly indebted to C. S. Smith, C. S. Barrett, and E. A. Gulbransen for many fruitful discussions pertinent to surface studies pursued over an extended period. Much helpful assistance in the preparation and characterization of sample surfaces from the viewpoint of surface structure was provided at one time or another by Joseph Cerny, Walter Bergmann, Donald Clifton, Kaye Ikeuye, and James Hess. Without their assistance the tedious assignment involved in the meticulous preparation of sample surfaces could not have been achieved. The useful collaboration with L. P. Schulz on the characterization of metal surfaces by electron microscopy and electron diffraction techniques was an essential part of the surface studies. Assistance in the design and construction of techniques for the controlled evaporation of metals was provided by H. E. Shaw. 

The authors acknowledge the helpful assistance of K. Sidman and E. Kiran in the laboratory and thank K. Wright for irradiating the films.
