The services of an editor are required at the New York College of Phar- 

 macy. The following notice is posted in a conspicuous place on the bulletin 

 board of the college. It reads: 



"The gentleman who tooke a chemistry book downstairs on a bureau

WOBK OF THE NEW BOAED. 



The new Board of Pharmacy in the city of New York began its work 

 formally on Monday, October 17th, by holding an examination at the Brook-

 Eaber will be in his office at the New York College of Pharmacy from 9 

 to 12 and from 1 to 5 every week day except Saturday, when he will not 

 be there in the afternoon, for registering applicants. On the first day his 

 office was opened 12 applicants were registered. All pharmacists and as-

 however, during the months of July and August. The examination fee is 

 $5, which is not returnable in case of failure to pass. A percentage of 75 

 will be required to pass.

 will be at his office not to register applicants? "Why not tell them when he 

 will be there to register them? 



The subjects assigned to Dr. Brundage, in which he will conduct the 

 examinations, have no doubt been poisoned, and toxicology has been killed.
