THE NEW YORK JOURNAL OF PHARMACY 



Greetings, 



The New York Journal of Phar- 

 macy makes its initial bow to you. 



What is it to be? Is it to fill another 

 "long felt want"? Nay, nay, it is an old 

 and humble friend, who had his name 

 changed, bought a new suit and fattened 

 up a bit with good and interesting news 

 and articles. 



It is still the Journal of the Alumni 

 Association, but increased in scope and 

 size, to be the more compatible with the 

 standing of the Association and the Col- 

 lege and to reach, and be read by a larger 

 number of people. 



What are we going to print? — Every- 

 thing that is of interest to the educated 

 pharmacist in general and to the graduate 

 of the N. Y. C. P. in special: original 

 articles by men of name, such as Arny, 

 Vorisek, Ferguson, Hynson, Niece, Lascoff 

 and others, abstracts of current articles of 

 importance, prepared by Professor George 

 C. Diekman, college news, alumni notes, 

 student activities. Have you a warm 

 heart for the student's joys and woes? If 

 yes, read our student columns and be 

 ready for a laugh. 



Make use of our queries and answers 

 column — all questions cheerfully answer- 

 ed. And if there are no questions, there 

 will be answers just the same, and no 

 originality is claimed for this idea. 



The now famous Goldberg of Pharmacy 

 (alias George Hohmann) will contribute 

 to our pages. 



But enough of the enumerations. Read 

 the first few numbers of the Journal and 

 you will read all the others. 



Last but not least, remember that this 

 is a subscription journal, that it costs the 



munificent sum of $1.00 per year. Cut 

 out the subscription blank on page 24 and 

 mail it to the Editor with $1.00. Get 

 your friends to subscribe. Do it now. 



PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS- 



The preparation of this Journal costs 

 considerably more than the subscrip- 

 tion price amounts to. The financial 

 support of most journals comes from 

 the advertisers. If you like this journal 

 patronize our advertisers, and pay in 

 that manner the balance of the cost of 

 this publication. Mention our name, 

 it will help us to retain them. 



INFORM US PROMPTLY OF 

 YOUR CHANGE IN ADDRESS. 



Are you going to move? Are you 

 going to change your position?- Please 

 do not forget to drop us a postal in- 

 forming us of such change, you will 

 not get your journal unless you do. 

 Remember, we want you to get the 

 journal, but you must help us, so that 

 we can reach }'ou. 



OUR COLLEGE LIBRARY AND 

 HOW TO USE IT. 



By H. V. Arny. Ph.D. 



It is an axiom that what we have at 

 our very doors, we count of little worth 

 and a thing is appreciated directly in 

 proportion to the difficulty in getting it. 



If this is so, the writer may be par- 

 doned in bringing to the attention of 

 the alumni how great a mental treas- 

 ure-house the College library is and 

 what great benefit each of us can se- 

 cure by using it ; for to the writer, 

 whose library facilities have, in the 

 past, been more or less limited, the free 

 use of such a splendid collection of
