The Microscope in Pharmacy. — There is a constant prog- 

 ress observable in the use of this instrument in drug stores. The 

 pharmaceutical journals are giving more and more attention to 

 the subject. In the present number of The Microscope will be 

 found an article on drug examination which we have condensed 

 from one of our pharmaceutical exchanges. 



The schools of pharmacy now see the need of instruction in 

 microscopy and are establishing chairs devoted to that subject. 



The School of Pharmacy connected with the University of 

 Kansas is under the direction of Prof. L. E. Sayre, who con- 

 tributed an article to the February issue of The Microscope. 



Tuition in this school is free. The State, convinced of the 

 necessity of sound training for those who stand in such close re- 

 lation to the public health, has provided this school with the view 

 of putting within the reach of all young men and young women 

 of the State, who choose to avail themselves of its advantages, the 

 very best instruction in the theory and practice of pharmacy. It 

 supports the school generously from the State treasury, and looks 

 to no pecuniary return from the students. In botany, physiology, 

 chemistry, and physics the students of the School of Pharmacy 

 have the benefit of the instruction of the university, and use its 

 laboratories and collections. There are thus, besides the special 

 pharmaceutical laboratories, two chem cal laboratories (for 

 qualitative and quantitative analysis), microscopical laboratories 

 (for structural botany and pharmacognosy) , and a physical labora- 

 tory.
