AGRADECIMIENTOS
En primer lugar, deseo expresar mi agradecimiento a los
miembros de esta Real Academia Nacional de Farmacia por el honor
que me hacen con este nombramiento y por su calurosa acogida.
Especialmente, quiero reconocer la iniciativa del insigne y admirado
Prof. Bartolomé Ribas Ozonas, que desde hace tiempo llevaba ani-
mándome, con insistencia y cariño, a que presentara mi candidatura
para ser miembro de esta honorable institución. Al mismo tiempo,
quiero destacar y reconocer el brillante esfuerzo de la Prof. Mercedes
