92 THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 



;iik1 by Mr. Fraser, of tablet-triturate fame, to visit their works in Brooklyn 

 on the afternoon of February 21st. Whether the name "Maltine" carried with 

 it a suggestion of malt liquor or not, we know not, but certainly there was an 

 unusually large crowd present. 



The reaction from the morning's hard work was evident, and the boys 

 were in the best of moods. The young lady employees at both establishments 

 seemed unusually attractive, and. while we do not know whether they were 

 informed of our visit or not. it must be admitted that they upheld the repu- 

 tation of Brooklyn as the "city of pretty girls," A light repast of sandwiches. 

 cake, cream and coffee was served ;il the Maltine works. The method of pre- 

 paring tablets seemed particularly interesting to the boys. One of our bright 

 stars showed his lack of knowledge by asking a young lady stenographer who 

 was playing a waltz on the keys "where the tablets came out." Finally, at 

 dusk, after having successfully eluded the dangerous trolley cars and the 

 wiles of the pretty girls, we arrived safely in New York, pronouncing the trip 

 a decided success. 



Our friend "Pepo" of Boonville is working very hard of late. We wish 

 him all success. 



The class dinner will be held Friday evening, April 22d. Remember, boys, 

 one pack of cigarettes a day less from now till then pays for the dinner. It's 

 Lent now, and you ought to deny yourselves some little pleasures, anyway. 

 We would suggest that the young ladies eat lour pounds less of Fluyler's. The 

 feast will be the evenl of the season, and we all ought to be present at this 

 last reunion before our final parting. 



The •'.Methyl Quartette" remains as popular as ever. Their field of con- 

 quests has been extended beyond the college walls, and of late they have been 

 sinning before appreciative audiences in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Man- 

 hattan.

 scientiously of late, and they expect to be college champions after their game 

 with '99 next Saturday. 



The preparations tor Commencement are progressing rapidly, and Treasurer 

 Alpers is fairly snowed in under I lie vast Lumber of *10 bills coming his way. 



Have you ordered a class photograph yet'/ Do, or you'll regret it. Judging 

 by the proofs, the picture will be fully up to the standard of beauty, and in 

 numbers will far exceed that of any former class. 



The S. ('. hold sessions daily in the back row of the lecture room—President 

 Alpers, Vice-President Shaeffer, Secretary and Treasurer Wells. This club is 

 very exclusive, and does not take in members indiscriminately.
