H 6 the journal of pharmacology. 



One lady accompanied us on our run to Bergen Point, and well did she 

 keep up with the pace. Miss Androette is her name. We trust that she will 

 frequently favor us with her presence now that the season has formally opened. 



Don't lose sight of the fact that the point view track has been altered, and 

 that some valuable prizes are going to be awarded in the cycle events of the 

 outing on Wednesday afternoon, June 8th. Scorcher. 



The N. Y. pharmaceutical journals of late have contained numerous articles 

 regarding the shorter hours movement, pro and con, and I regret to note that 

 the latter accounts have predominated. 



This, I think, is a deplorable condition of an educator of enlightened meth- 

 ods, and can only account for it as being due to a tendency to cater to a certain 

 class of bigoted pharmacists who. having always slaved, see no reason for a 

 change. I will admit that the statue will inconvenience some of them, but, like 

 all other new measures, time will remedy this, so that in a few years they will 

 be ashamed of the condition that has prevailed. 



Many are of the opinion that the new movement will reduce wages by virtue 

 of State immigration, but our reregistration pharmacy laAV together with the 

 enactment of similar measures in other states, will soon eradicate this idea. 



An investigation in this city gratified me upon learning that in several stores 

 shorter hours were already in force with the result of better satisfaction to 

 both the pharmacist and his clerk. 



It would matter not what course instigators of this measure pursued, ob- 

 jections would be raised, therefore all houor is due Ex-president Doehrr in his 

 untiling efforts. 



I heard some say that they considered themselves better than a carpenter 

 or hod carrier, hence their denunciation of the leagues' methods. I can correct 

 their mistake by saying that these men came forward unsolicited as Americans, 

 and honorably said, " Gentlemen, we deplore your condition, and will lend you 

 our aid in your cause." Could any sentiment be nobler? 



Life is but a short period at the longest. To every man there comes a day 

 when he looks back over his past record, then it is that the humane deeds and 

 not the money-making ones that give him solace, to those pharmacists who 

 have supported the measure which gives fathers time to spend with wife and 

 children, sons to enjoy pleasures of life. I tend my thanks as an 



American Pharmacist. 



One of our best-known physicians who is admired, perhaps, most of all for 

 his kindly disposition, was walking up Broadway recently, when he came 

 across a little girl, shoeless, hatless, and looking very woebegone. " What are 

 you doing, little one?" asked he. "Please, sir, I'm begging," was the reply. 

 " Why! have you no father or mother? " asked the physician. " Yes, sir," said 

 the little girl. "Mother's a beggar, and father's a beggar, too." "Well! well! 

 and have you no sisters and brothers? " " Yes, sir," was the reply again, " but 

 sister's begging, too." And what is your brother doing? " was the next question. 

 " Please, sir, he's in the College of Physicians and Surgeons." The physician 

 looked his surprise, and said: " How is that; your father, mother, sister and 

 yourself are all beggars, and your brother is in the College of Physicians and 

 Surgeons; how do you explain that?" "Oh! sir," said the girl, "brother is up 

 there on a shelf in a bottle."
