THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



the course of his remarks he said that " an Eng- 

 lish pharmacist would scarcely have been as 

 charitable in speaking of our pharmacists as the 

 lecturer had been in speaking of our English 

 cousins." He also called the attention of Prof. 

 Rusby to the fact that an act of ParliBment, to 

 prevent the adulteration of food or drugs, 

 was strictly enforced in England, and further, 

 that although London and Hamburg were at 

 present the great markets of the world for the 

 sale of crude drugs, that New York was " get- 

 ting there" very rapidly and taking a large 

 amount of their business from them. He then 

 pointed out that the United States laws insist 

 that the country of origin of all imports be put 

 upon all bills of lading and consignments. 



He was followed by Mr. John R. Clay, who 

 stated that although some spurious and inferior 

 drugs found their way to this country, a much 

 larger proportion of such drugs were used in 

 England and Germany, and that " all the arts 

 of sophistication we had learned were due to 

 the teachings of our mother country, England." 

 He said that " he had never seen a false Cartha- 

 genian root in this country, but that importers 

 should insist upon receiving only original pack- 

 ages, which method of procedure would spoil 

 all chances of manipulation in London, and 

 that no honest importer need bring spurious 

 ipecac into this country." 



In reply Prof Rusby said "that while some 

 of the statements of Messrs. Clay & Mason were 

 undeniable, yet his statement in regard to their 

 sophistication of ipecac for the American market 

 must stand, as he had seen the drug being pre- 

 pared for this market." 



Upon motion of Mr. Hohenthal, a rising vote 

 of thanks was tendered to Prof. Rusby, and the 

 meeting adjourned, to allow of the examination 

 of the splendid collection of specimens which 

 Prof Rusby had on exhibition.
