We received recently, with very great pleasure, a foreign money 

 Order for twelve dollars instead of tzvelve Shillings in payment of 

 Volume I of the Biochemical Bulletin. In view of the fact that 



this overpayment did not excite a desire to dis- 

 A rare complimen ^^ontinue the subscription, we have proceeded 

 with more enthusiasm than ever with our editorial work, in the hope 

 that future volumes of the Bulletin may be much more deserving 

 of such a compliment. 



The doing that makes commerce is born of the thinking that 



makes scholars. — Ruskin. 



Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability 



_. _ to make yourself do the thing you have to do, 



when it ought to be done, whether you like it or 

 not. — Huxley. 



The fabric of medical progress — indeed, of all progress — is 

 woven from legitimate dreams to a greater extent than the " practi- 

 cal" man is wont to realize or willing to admit. Editorial: Journal 

 of the American Medical Association, 1912, lix, p. 1195. 



Who is it that, when years are gone by, we remember with the 

 purest gratitude and pleasure? Not the learned or clever. But 

 those who have had the force of character to prefer the future to the 

 present, the good of others to their own pleasure. — Stanley. 



A fig for yesterday's convictions ! They were the cocksure 

 beliefs of children lost in the dark. This is another day, and we've 

 grown overnight. Do you plead the dignity of fixed opinion? It 

 is enough for us to say : " We believed it when we affirmed it ; we 

 have learned and changed our minds." — Ana Phylactic. 



The successful man, whether in business, in the professions and 

 trades, or in politics, enjoys the game for its own sake. He is not 

 a conscript in life's battles, but a volunteer, The way interests him 

 as much as the goal. Not only the result, but the exercise of powers 

 necessary to achieve it, gives him satisfaction. — AI I. Phatic. 



Speaking mentalwise, overfed conceit equals the blind staggers. 

 The easiest kind of intoxication is that which feeds upon the poisons 

 distilled by a self-caressing imagination. Open the floodgates of 

 self-approval and soon you won't know whether you are making 

 good or not, for you won't be able to present an intelligent compari- 

 son of your own achievements with those of others. — Jaun Dice.
