and selection of vegetable materials used as 

 drugs. These materials were mentioned as be- 

 ing roots, stems, including rhizomes, tubers, 

 bulbs, herbs, twigs and woods, barks, leaves, 

 leaflets, flowers, fruits and parts thereof, seeds, 

 glands, trichomes, excrescences, secretions and 

 excretions. In performing these tasks of iden- 

 tification and selection the pharmaceutical 

 botanist unfortunately rarely has access to com- 

 plete specimens , and does not often in fact have 

 even such material as the ordinary botanist 

 would deem absolutely essential for the pur- 

 pose. Seventy-five per cent, probably of the 

 material comes to him in a powdered condition, 

 and a large part of the remainder more or less 

 crushed or broken. At the same time stress 

 was laid upon the great importance which 

 frequently attached to correct results, as mat- 

 ters of life and death, effected some times by 

 active interference, some times by neglect of 

 reatment, was the issue. 



Uuder these circumstances it is clear that 

 special methods have to be resorted to. These 

 These methods were then explained and il- 

 lustrated by a large number of similar drugs 

 which might be mistaken for one another, the 

 specimens being passed around among the 

 audience lying side by side in boxes. After 

 these had been inspected, pictures were pro- 

 jected upon the screen by the oxy-hydrogen 

 lantern, showing the points of minute structure 

 upon which dependence frequently had to be 

 placed. 



The exhibition was not only highly instruc- 

 tive, but was very beautiful, Mr. Madison man- 

 aging the lantern with unusual care and skill. 



After the adjournment, the members, a large 

 number of whom were teachers in public and 

 private schools of the city and vicinity, were in- 

 vited to inspect the building and teaching 

 methods and apparatus, which they did, a 

 number of them remaining until a late hour.
