THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 63 



We hear a rumor of one of our graduates having been seen pacing the deck of 

 " Willie the Big " (name patented by Wm. Nye), outward bound on a recent trip. 

 Who says the drug biz doesn't pay. 



Geisler not only rolls pills but is one of the star rollers of the Retail Druggists Bowl- 

 ing Club. 



One of our doctors is now laboring on a work on dietetics " a comparative study of 

 Chop Suoy as a tissue builder. " In the course of his investigations we understand 

 he left his Happy Home at i G. M., and after consuming four portions walked 27 

 blocks without experiencing any fatigue. A committee of five accompanied him over 

 the course and reported favorably on the new diet. 



•98 Notes. 



The Alumni Ball is now a thing of the past and to be placed with all the other good 

 times we have had since the Alumni Association began to give balls, receptions, out- 

 ings, dinners, etc. The only difference between it and other balls was that, being so 

 far ahead of them both in numbers and sociability, it made them look like thirty 

 cents. Our class was represented by about the same number as last year. Brecht, 

 Tscheppe and myself were the only ones who were present both last year and this. 

 We also had the pleasure of the company of Rliss Greebe, F. W. Brown, Lant, Cooper, 

 Fraser, Nagel, Barrett, Brookes, Guthrie, Gregorius and, last but not least, we were 



surprised to see Ackerman's "The dirty "pleasing countenance. You should 



have seen him dancing. It was a fine R for sore eyes. 



John J. Maffia is managing the store of Francis S. Werner, 37th street and 7th Ave. 



Crippen was discovered the other day at Oueencer's Pharmacy, 57th street and 9th 

 Ave'nue where he has been for some time. 



De Biaso is the manager of Paul F. Zebrike's Pharmac)' at 106 West Houston, right 

 in the heart of the " cuUud population." 



Barrett is now clerking for George J. Locffler, 705 Main Street, Hartford, Conn. He 

 has a very good position and has been there since last November but he says it is so 

 hard to get used to living in a small town after being in dear old New Y'ork for two 

 years. I wish we had more in our class like him. He took enough interest in the 

 Alumni Association to come down here to attend the ball. 



Stay ton is now the happy owner of a store at 8th Avenue and iiSth street, Manhat- 

 tan, where he says he is simply coining mone}-. (Cheese it, the Cop !) 



Russell Marsh has left the college and is now clerking for Dr. Charies H. Gerken, 

 No. 1495 Broadway, Brooklyn. It is rumored that he also intends to get married ; at 

 any rate he must be in love, judging from the following anonj^mous note I received 

 " A question to ask. Is Russell Marsh of a sane mind ? Doors in stores are supposed 

 to be locked at night but am afraid his mind is otherwise taken up, so it cannot be 

 helped." It looks rather suspicious doesn't it ? 



We received a call a few days ago from Ganung, who is now at the pharmacy of J. 

 W. Wheeler, of Litchfield, Conn. From him I received the following information: 

 Bolles is with Pratt & Grannis, and Crutch is with his father ; both being at the same 

 place, that is, Litchfield, Conn. 



Apothecary Arthur Richards, U. S. N., is now stationed at the Medical Storehouse, 

 Mare Island, California. He is soon to be succeeded by Pharmacist Alrik Hammar 

 formally of the U. S. S. " Olympia," whereupon Richards will be sent to Manila for 

 duty. We expect to have some interesting letters from the far East, for Richards is 

 an able boy with the pen and you may expect something wonderful as to the habits 

 and ways of our pharmaceutical brethren in the new possessions.
