Note. — These results are valuable, as tending to enable chemists 

 hereafter to aid the physician in the application of such compounds 

 as may be most suitable in cases of disease. Is the prostration of 

 strength caused by tobacco — is the singular effect of tobacco smoke 

 in relaxing the body when introduced — in a manner that no cathar- 

 tic produces — due to its low constituents of carbon and hydrogen ? 

 May not these analyses lead us to the knowledge of the best means 

 of cultivating some of these and other plants. Tobacco requires but 

 5 parts of carbon and 7 of hydrogen, while pepper wants 17 carbon 

 and 19 hydrogen; cheese requires 16 carbon and 26 of hydrogen. 



These views are calculated to set us a thinking at least.

Mr. Wakeman moved the following resolution: 



Resolved, That those who possess choice fruit trees, or can obtaia 

 grafts from such trees, be requested to bring them to this club and 

 make general exchanges with other members of the club, and that 

 they be brought to the repository at any time convenient to the 

 owners; that the grafts may be safely kept here for distribution. 



Adopted unanimously.
