Pharmacy and Medicine. (Robinson's 

 Grammar). 



HOW SEI.ECTED. 

 This Association and each State Asso- 

 ciation may recommend two candidates 

 for examination, this examination to be 

 held at any annual meeting decided upon. 



EXAMINING BOARD. 



This shall consist of the officers of the 

 Association and themembersof the Com- 

 mittee on Scientific Papers with the Com- 

 mittee on Education and Legislation. 



CHARACTER OF TRAINING. 



The successful candidate shall be sent 

 to some desirable Continental school or 

 university where he may secure, during 

 three years, the highest training in syn- 

 thetic chemistry, plant analysis and 

 manufacturing pharmaceutical processes. 

 He shall submit to this Association an 

 annual report embracing a resume of the 

 year's instruction and the methods of in- 

 struction employed and at intervals dur- 

 ing the three years' course shall present 

 an outline of methods employed and 

 facilities enjoyed in teaching pharmacy 

 in some prominent school first in the 

 German Empire, second in France, third 

 in Great Britain. 



He shall also submit annually a resume 

 of all original work personally performed 

 during the year, in suitable form for 

 publication. 



Any failure to meet the responsibilities 

 of the scholarship may be cause for his 

 recall and substitution for another can- 

 didate. 



On his return to the United States he 

 shall give at least two years to instruc- 

 tion in some college of pharmacy (if such 

 position offers, as it undoubtedly will), 

 and present each year for two years an 

 original paper for publication in the 

 Proceedings. 



I have trespassed severely upon your 

 patience, and I can only incidentally re- 



fer to the new edition of Remington's 

 Pharmacy; the United States and Na- 

 tional Dispensatories; " A Study in 

 Pharmacy," coming from the pen of 

 Prof. Lloyd; the promised new work on 

 Pharmacy by Prof. Caspar! and that of 

 Prof. Coblentz; to the practical interest 

 displayed at the meeting of the Inter- 

 national Pharmaceutical Congress, held 

 last year at Chicago (the first meeting 

 on Americen soil), and to many things 

 yet undeveloped that are taking shape 

 at the hands and in the minds of Ameri- 

 can pharmacists, to prove that the genius 

 of American pharmacy is not idle, she is 

 not wasting golden opportunities and 

 being left behind in the race, she is not 

 an outrider or an indifferent passenger, 

 but she drives the chariot of progress, 

 and, like Jehu of old, rides furiously. 

 She is fully aware that 



" A three-fold measure dwells ia space, 

 Restless Length, with flying race, 

 Stretching forward, never endeth. 



" Ever groundless, Depth decendeth, 

 Types in these thou dost possess, 

 Restless, onward thou must press. 



" Never halt nor languor know, 

 To the perfect wouldst thou go, 

 Let thy world with Breadth extend, 

 Till the world it comprehend. 



' ' Dive into the depths to see 

 Germ and root of all that be, 

 'Tis the progress gains the goal. 



'' Ever widens more its bound, 

 In the full the clear is found, 

 And the truth dwells underground." 



— Schiller. 



Compounds of the Sugars with Iron. — Iron 

 Suerate, containing 48.5 per cent, of iron, is 

 obtained as a crystalhne reddish-brown powder 

 by pouring a solution of cane sugar and ferric 

 chloride into a slight excess of aqueous sodium 

 hydroxide; it dissolves to the extent of about 95 

 per cent, in cane sugar solution, leaving a 

 residue of ferric hydroxide. Iron mallosate 

 was prepared in the same way. It is a brown, 

 amorphous substance and it is not mixed with 

 free ferric hydroxide, for it dissolves entirely in 

 maltose solution. It contains about 32 per cent, 

 of iron, corresponding with the formula 2 Fcg 

 O3.C18H22O11 -|- 2H.O —F. Evers in Ber. d.
