C LINICAL EXAMINATION S 

 B Y PHARMACIST S. 



How can the pharmacist increase the 

 revenue derived from his business with- 

 out degenerating into a seller of collars, 

 cuffs, alarm-clocks, etc.? 



This query was answered by our friend. 

 Doctor Joseph Weinstein in his address 

 as Chairman of the Section of Practical 

 Pharmacy and Dispensing at the 1916 

 meeting of the A. PH. A. (see page 210). 



Many pharmacists, equipped for "clin- 

 ical examinations," have built up a very 

 lucrative clientele among physicians, in 

 fact, we know of one establishment where 



four men are kept busy all year doing 

 nothing but this kind of work. 



Then again, we have heard it said that 

 this kind of work was not for the phar- 

 macist — that he should limit his activities 

 to preparation and sale of the necessary 

 reagents for the specially trained clinical 

 pathologist doing such work. 



We can see no reason why any pharma- 

 cist possessing the training suggested by 

 Doctor Weinstein should not be able to 

 intelligently analyse urine. 



If any of our readers disagree we would 

 consider it a favor if they made use of 

 the pages of the C. U. C. P. ALUMNI 

 JOURNAL to voice their opinions.
